Pilot Thomas Müller reporting,
This mornig the [RM] conducted some trade ships inspection operation - at least that's what they said it was - and requested some Polizei support. As Meister and Carsten were already giving them assistance in the Stuttgart system, I conducted a patrol of the other Rheinland systems in my polizei issued Raven's Talon. I inspected some transports and miners passing by the lanes, but so far just one ill informed freelancer that was trying to pass through the border towards Liberty and I got redirected to the Sigmas was the only thing of notice.
When back at New Berlin I got some transport coming from Hamburg carrying Slaves, as reported by the TLAG system. I intercepted it near Dortmund Station, as it exited the lane.
The ship was called Thadelonius, curious name, and had Deep Space Engineering papers. But he was not carrying jump gate parts, so I ordered him to disembark his passengers at the station and pay a fine of 4 Million credits, in accordance with the RFP Pilot Handbook for a ship of that size. His captain tried to create excuses, but not very convincing, and after that saying he had no money to pay the fine. After some talk, he agreed, payed the fine and let the poor folks off the ship.
As DSE ships are allowed to carry some types of cargo within rheinland, and he agreed with my demands, even if a little reluctant at the start, and as I couldn't proove he hadn't really rescued those people and he payed the fine after all, I decided to let him depart empty.
After that, I landed back at New Berlin, and transfered the fine credits to the appropriate RFP account. Here is the receipt:
