IDENTIFICATION: Lieutenant Commander Robert Hallam, Bretonian Armed Forces
SOURCE: Battleship Derby, Leeds system
SUBJECT: Report

[color=#FFFFFF]Today was a surprisingly active day.

I received a report that bomber assistance was required in a Wildlife smuggling bust, and I moved to Edinburgh to assist. Lieutenants Keevan and Hall were already in the system and I moved in to their position near the Tau-31 jump hole. The convoy was reported to be quite large: six ships at the most. It was unknown which were transports and which were escorts, and to what size each transport or escort was. We had received the word from one of the escorts who was assisting us in the apprehension of these smugglers.

After a long wait, the contact, Austin Goodman (who at the time I had no knowledge of) jumped through and told us they were coming. Two transports and two freighters came through and immediately began cruising toward Perth. We followed them to Perth and they all docked. I believed that they would catch the idea that they were being monitored and lay low on Perth. But no, all four ships undocked, loaded with Gaian Wildlife. We told them to cut their engines and drop their cargo. None of them responded verbally, but they did stop. The fourth ship, the largest, undocked a minute after the first three. My attention was on the other three, and the transport somehow managed to get a decent distance away by cruise before Austin and the two Lieutenants pursued. All three other ships now rushed to dock on Perth, despite our request for them to be locked out.

I now moved toward the Tau-31 jump hole where the transport was heading. But I detected another transport and instead moved to scan it. It was filled with Gaian Wildlife. I cruise disrupted it and ordered it to cut its engines and drop its cargo. It decided not to comply with either order and I did not hesitate to open fire. It returned fire. However, after it jumped to Tau-31 it was quickly destroyed. The weirdest part of it was that its ID papers revealed it worked for Daumann.

Moving back in Edinburgh I found one of the freighters from Perth trying to dock on Shetland. I told it to drop its cargo, but as I heard Shetland approving its docking rights I took action and destroyed the freighter. As I was moving away I came across an IND transport and scanned its cargo, finding Military Vehicles. It told me that they were moving to MacDuff and I moved in to escort it for the journey. We arrived at MacDuff safely, and there I met the two Lieutenants and Austin Goodman. I then learned that he was reported as a traitor to the Crown. But he had already disappeared into the shadows, just visible on my sensors fourteen klicks away, saying goodbye and crediting us on a good job done with the smugglers.

We moved back to Edinburgh and found one of the freighters from before near Shetland. We told it to drop its cargo but it was cruising and moving in random directions. We eventually cruise disrupted it and successfully destroyed it.

A success day today. We successfully destroyed several smuggling ships. And as much as I hate to say it now that I know a little of his past, it would not have been possible without Austin Goodman and his intelligence on the convoy.

That's all for now.
