Subj: Patrol Report
After launch from the Battleship Mississippi, I immediately encountered Dreamer running past Houston and a quick scan showed a full load of Cardimine. I ordered him to halt but he had already hit the TL bound for NY. I gave chase and was disrupted by some Rogues about half way there. Checking the scan log for a positive scan transmitted data to the Mississippi. Returning to Houston, I found {SOB}Obnoxious1 at the Houston Dock and Four (4) Transports exiting the Bearing/Houston TL. Since my scanner was still linked with the Mississippi I began scanning them. The first one was Crazy Man with a load of Cardimine. I was just getting the scan of the Last one when I fell under the guns of {SOB}Obnoxious1. I was tractored in by the Mississippi and immediately asked them to check my scan logs. I only got hard scans of the first one transmitted and the last three were incomplete. Without the hard evidence I am withholding the names of those three till evidence is acquired. Scan records forwarded to the LPI for further action.
Since my Avenger was being brought up to readiness by the Mississippis crew, I elected to launch in the Havoc. Upon launch, the Navy (didnt get all their names) came in strength to the Texas system with Intel of a possible aggressive force forming in the Sigmas and moving thru Rheinland towards the Texas System. While we waited for the unknown force to arrive we began scanning for Embargoed goods coming from Rheinland. I happen to find a gentleman with the transponder code of =BENZ= with a load of RH diamonds. After explaining the Law on embargoed goods coming from RH, I directed him to either space the load or deliver them to the Mississippi. He elected to drop them at the Mississippi. Being a first time offender according to computer check, I let it go at that.
The Navy seemed to be having good luck with most of the first time offenders. Until Dreamer happened to make his second run during my patrol. He eluded them and I was requested to head for the NY JH thinking he was headed there. Enroute to the JH I got to thinking that he may try to make a run for the California JH, I changed course and just happened to get him on cargo scan before he docked at Beaumont. File is in storage at the Battleship Mississippi if the courts need it. Another load of Cardimine and Failure to abide by a lawful order. Note: It is a wonder that Junkers dont get a little upset with the smugglers leading the law right to the front door.
I returned to Houston as the Navy decided that the hostile force was not going to arrive. The Halifax was one that stayed and when I returned he had two vessels stopped in violation of the embargo. The Zork and the von_Darkmoon After they were turned back to Rhieland we were requested by Gafwmn to move to New York to help there.
In New York, Gafwmn requested that I take a look for a breach at Zone 21. Upon arrival I found Kalashnikov Heading for the JG. I gave chase and requested that he stop. On the other side he gave a warning to a friend who was at max scanner range and begin to pull away from me. Kalashnikov seemed to run into a hostile force and was destroyed. I began searching for his friend. I happen to come across Kalashnikov again and chased him to the gate. He was talking funny. I chased him out of Zone 21 and took up position at the entrance to the Zone. LSF Cartman came on duty and came to assist at the entrance. A short time later, Kalashnikov returned with a friend, [Merc}Enjoi that was IDed as Mercenary but tagged as Order. We refused to let them pass and ordered them to leave. Gafwmn came to take up station. After what seemed endless requests to leave, I informed Kalashnikov that he was under arrest and I would follow him to the Missouri for questioning. Kalashnikov seem to still talk funny every once in a while. After refusing to move towards the Missouri, I announced that I would engage him. He moved within 150 meters and stopped as I fired. I tractored his pod in to deliver to the Missouri. During this time a [F]-William.Larson in a Kusari gunboat with a Freelancer ID started hanging around.
LSF Cartman ordered [Merc]Enjoi to back away from the entrance to Z21 by about 5k which he reluctantly did. While we were there the following Navy ships pictured below arrived and also took up station with Gafwmn. After what seemed like ages the Merc and the Freelancer decided to leave. After a while I returned to the Mississippi to do my report.
