Today was a peacefull day. Our shift was about to over so me and Lieutenant Aryn headed to Sunbucks. When he landed on Manhattan, i decided to make a last chek on New York system Lanes. Then I saw two slave smugglers. I tried to warn them, but Big_Gun requestted to ddock on Missouri, so i took him out. The other one- sdfp took the tradelane for Fort Bush and tried to hide into the Pittsburgh Debris Field. I followed him and tryed to call for backup, but the field was blocking my signal. When i managed to catch up, I used my CDs and he engaged me without any warrning, So i blew up his ship. luckily their PODs left unharmed and i took them to Sugarland.

Was dispatched to a quick patrol in California, as a start. Everything was quiet, so joined officer Shattuck at New York. Patrolled for a while, everything quiet as it can be. Reports for a rogue vessel at the Texas gate started to rain out of nowhere, so we decided to check. And, there it was, an illegal ship, flying under Rogue colours, mounting illegal guns and having an old license that indicates the ship is of the Rhino class. Database showed the described ship was reported lost years ago. Vessel was a Bactrian. Standard Rogue shenanigans. He refused to comply and attempted fleeing, so we followed standard procedure and applied lethal force. A Navy fighter was at the scene so provided support to take down the Bactrian. It took a while, but target was neutralised. We returned to normal patrol duty, seeing nothing else. Stood at a few locations to direct and scan incoming traffic. Did that for a while and my shift ended. Oh, took some nice photos as well. See attachments.
On Saturday, With a large swat team, we took out the rogue carrier Black Scorpion. Again. He acquired another carrier and attempted further havoc in Colorado, but LPI bomber target practice was suspended when he jumped out of the system [Note-we need better bombers if we're expected to take capitals out quickly, especially with the jump drive kidnappings!]
I was then called to Fort Bush to assist Officer Eddie Pulaski with a L'ane. Occasion (and fortitude) called me to use the SWAT Cruiser San Quentin. A 500k fine was paid and the ship escorted out of Liberty. [This has been left on the ship to cover running costs]
During the escort through colorado, between the NY gate and Pueblo, the lane was disrupted by Pirate Jerard.Dinston . Despite the cruiser's presence, the pirate attempted to extort 2 million. When the L'ane and I had finished laughing, and after the pirate had finished counting from 5 to zero, I engaged the solaris cannons and reduced the pirate to dust. The L'ane got the final blow. The trader was safely lead out of the system.
At 22:40 I got called to a report of an incursion by a zoner battleship. On arrival at Los Angeles, there was indeed a zoner battleship. His reason for entry was "exploration". I denied him entry for that purpose, fined him five million credits and eventually sent him on his way.
During this encounter, we got word of an outcast dreadnought in NY. LN-Rivers investigated and found it 15k above manhattan. It managed to make its way into Texas via jumphole and into Cali, where it met the Zoner Battleship Daedalus. As it turned out, both were working with each other. The Zoner declared that an attack on the Outcast would lead to hosilities from him. Admiral Rachel Baker arrived on scene and we engaged the two battleships before they could escape to Cortez. Both ships were destroyed by combined LN/LSF/LPI bomber forces and support ships.

Rivers here. I'm hammered right now in a celebratory drink over the success these past few days so, here ya go. 'Nother quick re-run of my activities.
I'm sure we all know that Black.Scorpion Assault Carrier that went rogue. Here's some explicit pictures of the captain's nipples. ## Hm, seems like I accidentally over-wrote the pictures. Oh well, those will have to do.
Light fighters are fun. Especially Voodoo.Child. who was flying a Scimitar. He managed to pod Frost with his own mine, but I quickly took him down after. Next up, two pirates by the names of uninstall_baddie! and u_mad? who engaged me as soon as I jumped into Colorado. One of them got away, while the other tried to cloak and I just kept him CD'd until it wore off then blew him up. Oh, and this was another embargo runner. My guncams malfunctioned, but he was smuggling over the border in a BWT by the name of Solstice. Confiscated it and fined him 1.000.000.
And of course, it wouldn't be a proper report without some Kraut deaths over an open fire. They don't really deserve the luxury of having their names given, their coffee is absolutely dreadful. But here's the images. #####
For the last two of the day, got a vessel that was carrying some jellyfish named Fatal.Bonds and, of course, I confiscated them. Finally, a pirate marauder named Drone_(UAV) who I chased relentlessly until he docked at Rochester. Suggest we make the Junkers refuse him refuge on their bases. ##

Valencia reporting on return from first patrol.
Flew fighter screen for Officer Michael Rivers, chasing long-range signatures of known criminal traffic. Patrol began at Manhattan orbit, headed out to Colorado system. Scavengers at the other side of the gate scattered on our arrival, no arrests or engagement as per orders due to higher priority of our intended target.
Pursued scanner signatures through Ontario and down to California. Civvy comm traffic and SOS signals warned of a Rheinlander warship well within Liberty space just at the jump gate, so after radioing for naval support we investigated as it was on our patrol route anyway. Damned if I know what the Kraut was doing there, but it didn't stick around to let us get too close.
Swept through California and back to New York, then through Colorado again. Little puta was apparently running us in circles. Rivers can give the details, but I can't say I ever caught sight of whatever he had us chasing after.
The Navy handled the warship, I guess. Our beat was over before I really saw any heat. Touched down at Fort Bush at 21:42 local time. Maybe next time I'll get a chance to bust some heads.
I came on duty at 1430SMT and undocked from Manhattan. As I undocked, a secondary fleet Carrier "Red_RoveR_ " detonated a OS&C liner in the trade lane. Newark and Long Island Auto Guns responded to the assault and the carrier was destroyed. It should be noted that the carrier did not have armour.
Freelance Smuggler fireflys Trojan Horse and Slim Jim docked manhattan from above the plane. I was unable to intercept but did get a scan of Trojan Horse.
I recieved a call from the Liberty Navy that an Outcast Bomber "BGF Fear" had been spotted. The San Quentin was first on scene, catching up with the bomber which turned to engage the "easy prey". The big stick gave the outcast a good hiding whilst its opponent failed to get a hit in. A small powercore malunction resulted in the outcast giving me the slip with a sliver of hull, no bats, no bots. The pilot was somewhat better with cruise disrupters than the rest of his weaponry, and managed to put 3k distance into me. He foolishly docked on Rochester whilst still in firing range.
I stopped off for a chat with the judges on Newark (remarking that it was a trifle quiet) when I spotted a Freelance Kingfisher Heavy Fighter engaging a lawful trader. Seeing this, Judge Von Goeben docked. Despite still being in my bomber, I engaged and destroyed the assailant.
Unfortunately, he came back. Not wanting to deal with zombies, I left well alone. Seems his friend Blackind94 was also similarly attacky and zombie-like.
TLAGS detected the smuggler Slim Kim heading for Pittsburg. I caught him with slaves on the undock. Despite me offering to fine him instead of destroying him, he refused to stop. I note that he has a green POLICE IFF. I pursued but got unlucky with a jumphole placing me well behind. Usefully though, his entire off-the-grid smuggling route was laid bare for me. Annoyingly I was disrupted by a tiny rogue ship as I pursued him placing me well behind. Shattuck had him, but lacked the firepower in his liberator to make a real dent. He escaped into Cortez.
An hour or so later, TLAGS detected him moving through Cali, then went dark. I had a policeman's hunch that he would move through Texas to the Jumphole in the badlands. With Recruit officer Shattuck, we intercepted the smuggler, now loaded with cardamine and destroyed the vessel.
With my ship coated in cardamine, I resolved to go and decontaminate myself and ended my shift.
Today was the toughest day since I'm in the LPI. My shift started normally. Patroling around the New York Trade lanes, watching the TLAGSNET , Scanningtransportsand so. But then i recieved a strange transmission from a *CBF* Predator drone.
The transmission:

Flew CAP for the new SWAT crusier San Quentin on its shakedown runs through the Colorado system, Officer Frost commanding.
Ran into a Rheinlander freighter just before Denver orbit, illegal, of course. Dumb pelota didn't seem to know there was a war on, and I guess whatever scuzzbag sold him that clunker either didn't know he'd be taking it into Liberty space, or just left that little detail out.
The freighter captain (tagged "Schwarz.Inc") was cooperative, though. Officer Frost collected the fine of 1,000,000 credits and had me escort him to to Galileo jumpgate. Guncam image attached below just on the other side.
After sending him on his way, returned to the San Quentin to fly fighter cover for its weapons tests. I gotta say the guns on that rig are damned impressive - wouldn't want to be on the business end of them.
Local command sent us after several small-time crooks snooping about the system fringes. Made several Xeno outlaw arrests (records on file at Denver HQ, as are the prisoners). Got a good chance to test my stick as well, since some of them tried to run or fight. Every one was pitifully quick, heh.
After the shakedown and warrant runs were done, escorted the San Quentin to One Police Plaza and docked my Liberator for some final upgrades:
- Train Cruise Disruptor
- Enhanced Thruster
- Enhanced CM Dispenser

I accompanied Officer Tal Ravis on a patrol today. First, I ran into a Ship Hull Panels-hauling Transport heading to Pennsylvania. As far as I know, there's nothing under construction there that'd need those panels, so I figured I'd tail it.
It ended up docking on Betlehem Station, but soon undocked - still carrying those panels. That made me a bit suspicious, after all, he might've done this because he didn't want to reveal some secret installation being built by.. what are they called again? The Liberty rogues? Yeah. Those.
Anyhow, he didn't reveal anything, and when Tal and I questioned him afterwards he claimed he was heading to Bering - which would be an embargo breach, wouldn't it? It was about then that I noticed a lot of Rogues moving about on that TLAGSNET tool, so we left the guy alone. Name of the transport was Konnichiwa, in case anyone knows him.
We found one at the Pennsylvania Gate. Asked him to stop, but he wouldn't. You won't hear me complaining, it was a good opportunity for me to get used to the Liberator. Oh, about that Liberator.. It sure proved to be user friendly.
The other rogue ran into some asteroid field. Apparently we're not supposed to go in and get ourselves killed, so we returned to New York.
There, we ran into another rogue near the Colorado Gate. We shot him for a while - those bombers are decent target practice, by the way - until he ran into an asteroid field.
As by that time we had a big navy capital ship by our side, a rogue cruiser-sized thing shooting us, and a few more fighters buzzing around, we decided to pursue. It took a little while, but then I blew up the bomber. Well, someone else did. But I should've been the one getting the credit.
Things got slightly out of hand, and I ended up returning to base. I believe Sergeant Virgil Sams got himself into trouble soon afterwards. He might outrank me, but next time I tell him to run, he should assume I know what I'm talking about!

"I think that's about all." You may, however, I do not.
Report 10
First of all it, is SAMMS and secondly what sort of policeman are you, you work with evidence not random imagination.
We all broke from the melee and on the way back I found a lone rogue, different from the ones we had engaged. However, as he approached Rochester I realised that big ships and Liberators do not always mix. The resulting trouble was thus divorced spatially and temporally, so at presnt on what evidence should I believe "you know what you are talking about"?
This will obviously be followed internally and traffic duty is looming until you work out how to construct an appropriate report.
