Well, it was an eventful patrol. I was told if I do the patrol report, I could get a promotion, so I started by looking for something report-worthy. I found it, in the form of a junker smuggler.
A salvage frigate by the name of .:j:.Egon.Godfrey refused to stop for a scan. So we started chasing it. After following it through the sigma 13 > Frankfurt jump hole, we managed to get a cargo scan. The junker was moving cardimine into Rheinland!
We chased it to a jumphole leading to Hamburg. I followed, jumped through, and fired a cruise disruptor at the junker. Then I realized that I had a torpedo mounted and not a disruptor! So that didn't do anything, and I was given orders to head back, as Hamburg is outside our jurisdiction.
From there, we decided to do a quick patrol of Beta before returning to base. The patrol itself was uneventful, but when we returned though the sigma 19 jumphole, I don't know what happened. My ship started to disintegrate within the jumphole, and by the time I popped out on the other side, my ship fell apart completely and I was forced into the escape pod. Thankfully, my pod was towed back to base safely.
