PRIORITY: [color=#FFFFFF]Confidential ENCRYPTION:HIGH IDENTIFICATION: Gefreiter Gabriel Engel SOURCE: Planet Stuttgart SUBJECT: Re:Patrol report 6
Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren,
This morning, a reminder of my supervisors was in my inbox: I have to touch up with several weeks of paperwork of Patrols and Combat exercises. Until further notice my time in the lab is nullified. Seems that my studies have to rest for a while.
Indeed my desk looks as if it's going to collapse in case I postpone my work further. But... as you all know, I am also still a bit shook up from that little "incident" in the Omegas lately. Being guided by one of my officers we commenced - what was planned as a swift attack strike against Hessian bases in the Border Worlds.
A series of unfortunate events seperated me from the rest of the pack and some [color=#FFFFFF]Reavers - obviously just another Terrorist group - arrived at the spot to assist the Hessians. I was able to dodge their blasters, however a severe malfunction in my nuclear mine dropper destroyed mein Wraith. One of the Reavers with the callsign "Silver" tractored mein spinning Pot. Upon regaining conciousness I found myself inside a tiny cargo bay. That trip to the next border station costed me 1.000.000 cr.
During my more "quiet" shifts I had to:
-Scan about half a dozen ships each day with Pilots that are unaware of the fact, that there STILL is a trade embargo with Liberty. Hearing their lame excuses is getting on my nerves, if you allow me to express my personal opinion. It seems as if the offenders *want* to hear me quoting our beloved Vaterlands laws over and over again. (see attachements)
-Destroy tons and tons of contraband like these Artifacts we found on a Junkers vessel. I am still unsure where he obtained these. Unfortunately I am not allowed to take a sample of them for my researches... but I digress...
Most of the delinquents comply after getting cought and recieving a lecture in Rheinland laws. But more frequently we get ignored, insulted or even attacked. Heavy fines await offenders that try to pust their luck too far. Unfortunately sometimes we have to deal with them by force. (see attachements)
-Sharing hints of our Zones of Interest with Recruits - some of them *really* wanted to Patroll in O-Gamma for a reason - along with the know how of common smuggle routes out of Rheinland.
I hope they use their knowledge to intercept smugglers and not to sell it to traitors.
-Combat lessons with skilled Instructors.
-Returning a drifting Vessel from the Asteroid fields near Neu Berlin.
-Fighting off an Intruder within our Guard system (Pictures will follow)
