From the desk of R.Officer Alex Price:

Subject: Patrol report

I Began this evenings patrol out of the Sugarland, And proceeded around to the Houston docking ring. I waited there a little while; watching the traffic in and out, when i got a call from Lt(?) Maggard. We quickly met up and chatted with an LN pilot for a bit. When we were heading to the New York Jump Gate, the Ln pilot called us about a Pirate Train in the system. Lt Maggard quickly went for their swat gear, and we proceeded to search for the Pirate Train. After a breif search, we located the vessel; callsign "CPT Reynolds" and while not hauling anything illegal; the ship itself was so we stopped him. Per Liberty Law Lt Maggard demanded he drop his cargo, which he initially refused to do. After a short discussion;during which LPI Silver 8 joined us; he complied,the cargo was destroyed, and we proceeded to escort him to the bering jump gate. Well at this point i had some navigational computer errors and fell far behind the group; but when i caught up, they were at the gate, "Cpt Reynolds" was gone, and they were dicussing the ways liberty pilots would be in a rogues cargo hold with the Rogue "Micheal..something or other". Anyway the rogue dropped the pilots and fled as instructed, so we didnt pursue. At this point "Cpt Reynolds" showed up in System comms, spouting anti-liberty and anti-liberty shipping remarks. He repeatedly threatened shipping throughout liberty space despite repeated warnings from Silver-8. He went silent and Lt Maggard, Silver-8 and Myself returned to Houston. I again lost the group, and had to meet them for a patrol at norfolk shipyard. By the time i got there, they had already stopped a ship for contraband;synthetic marijuana i believe. He tried to run and we pursued him. His escort,the freelancer/mercenary "Johnny-Rocket" opened fire on Lt. Maggard, and eventually shot him down. In the course of battle, i experienced a sensor loss, and did not see "Cpt Reynolds" coming, and was shot down by him. Ive no idea what happened to Silver-8, but it didnt look good.

Since then, ive spent some time in the infirmary, and i am now on light duty till tommorow. I also recommend that both "Cpt Reynolds" and "Johnny-Rocket" are given a 2-4 million credit fine(To be determined by a more ranking and experienced Officer) and be added to the Fugitives List. Ive Attached a Gum cam shot of "Cpt Reynolds" Ship, unfortunately i was unable to get a guncam of "Johnny-Rocket" but on a particularly close fly-by; he appeared to be flying a Hawk or similar Craft.

Regards,
Recruit Officer Alex Price
