After Action Report:

Today's patrol was rather eventful. Right after I started and joined comm channel with Sgt. Hunter, she called me for backup to California, as combat with a Barghest and a Gunboat was ongoing. Upon arrival I promptly charged up weapons and jumped in, and with combined firepower we downed the Barghest before it could run into the safety of the asteroid fields. We had to abandon pursuit of the gunboat however, as it retreated into the field behind California Minor.

The next few events can be read on the report of Sgt. Hunter, so I'll skip 'em.

During the enforcement of the Rheinland Blockade, we intercepted a Behemoth transport hauling Luxury Consumer Goods with destination Rheinland. Despite some difficulties with communication, we managed to get him to abandon the cargo and leave Liberty.

After that, Sgt. Hunter had to report in to Houston PD, so I continued to check the traders alone. And it paid off. After some minutes, a transport appeared from Bering, hauling more than 3000 units of engine components of Rheinlandish origin. As I had no means of verifying the integrity of the cargo to make sure it wasn't sabotaged, I ordered the vessel to dock with Houston and hand over the cargo to the local police for a thorough check. He however refused to respond and simply opened fire without any form of notice. I quickly evaded and returned the fire when he tried to run to the New York tradelane. Just seconds later the LNS-Spectre appeared and offered assistance, which I gladly took, as taking down a heavily armored combat transport is a tiring task in a Liberator. Together and after a fierce fight we managed to eliminate the vessel, with the Spectre organizing retrieval of the cargo for navy engineers to verify the quality. He recompensated me generously with a 750.000 credits for the trouble as a share of the estimated value of the cargo.

As nothing more happened, I returned to New York and decided to do a quick spin along the lanes, when at Planet Manhattan a Pirate Train suddenly arrived via the lane. Upon holding and informing the vessel about the illegitimacy of the vessel, the captain agreed to pay the 500.000 credits fine and promised to change ship as soon as possible. As he was quite cooperative, I showed leniency and allowed him to take in a cargo load on his way out of Liberty. He docked at Trenton and to my surprise acquired...gate/lane parts. Yeah. Well, after another serious talk he grudgingly returned the parts to Trenton, as he obviously had no valid Ageira certificate as lane parts hauler.

I'm afraid my guncam had some intermittent malfunctions, so I'm afraid I have no footage of the gate/lane parts loaded, the engine components blockade runner as well as the initial Barghest combat in California. Gladly Sgt. Hunter has most of 'em covered. Patrol length was 60+ minutes, so I qualify for that bonus, right?
