I started my patrol at Battleship Westfalen from which I headed towards Planet Hamburg where I cam across to unusual civilians named "Gerok" and "NICOLAAA" who seemed to be normal people at first until they fired upon a passing Mercenary named "Unsung" who swiftly used the trade lane to leave orbit. They then started to Threaten me and an independent military who's ID was "DL*AviTrix". After I started the question them on there behaviour "gerok" retreated towards the Battleship Westfalen and "NICOLAAA" took refuge on the planet.
"DL*AviTrix" Left after this to his prior tasks, while I remained at the planet to see if "NICOLAAA" would leave. Sure enough after a minute or so she made a break for it which was shorted lived as she was gunned down after entering a trade lane towards the liberty systems I can only assume it was pirates as i found no trace of any other vessels in the area. I continued towards Alster shipyard where I met "Unsung" I asked if he knew the individuals involved, he told me he did not but had been fired upon by them. However he also told me he had seen a Pirate Smuggler in the area not to long ago. I swiftly thanked him for his time and headed towards new Berlin to follow the trail. At the Jump gate I found a Trader who I quickly questioned and confirmed that they where not traveling into liberty and where stopping at alster shipyard in my haste I realize now I should have escorted them to the shipyard to ensure it's location however I did meet "Infinity" later on in my patrol so I know he did not deceive me. When I reached Berlin I found no trace of pirate activity other than a small Hessian force near Dortmund which I dispatched of and headed towards the Frankfurt system as I know smugglers have been known to use this system to bypass areas.
While in frankfurt I met 2 GMG haulers and a Rheinland Police. I asked if any of them had seen any suspicious behaviour in the system which turned out to be negative. By now I realised that I had lost the trail, but continued onto the Munich system to check it out. The moment I arrived I was underfire from the Bundschuh During the fight "Infinity" came through the Gate to ensure the traders safety I dispatched of the last remaining ships at quickly as possible, then proceeded around the system. I met no resistance in the Munich system and docked on Battleship Regensburg to transmit this message. I have attached neural net logs of some of the transmissions I received.
