PRIORITY: High ENCRYPTION:Medium IDENTIFICATION:Kommissar Armin Steiner SOURCE:Bonn Station, New Berlin SUBJECT:Patrol report
Guten Tag,
First of all I would like to say it feels good to be back to action after a couple of months. Office job can be rewarding, but this is the real deal.
Anyways, I am writing the patrol report of the Gerechtigkeit. Today we intercepted a Universal Shipping vessel haulinglight arms, by his admittance to a buyer on New Berlin, who supposedly, cancelled the deal, so the captain was stuck with the cargo. We did a quick check and it turned out the ship was not registered to carry light arms through Rheinland space. We asked the captain to jettison the cargo and they complied. The cago was then destroyed by the Gerechtigkeit. Since the captain appologised and it seemed to be his first ever transgression in Rheinland, I decided to let them go with a warning.
Later on, we were notified that therer were 2 Hessian cruisers in Stuttgart, which then moved to New Berlin. We found them near Kreuzberg Depot, along with an ALG gunboat and a Military bomber. We engaged them and managed to destroy one of them, while the other one betrayed his comrade and ran away while we were buisy with him. Sadly our guncams were slightly damaged so the images were lost.

Guten Tag, Sehr geehrte polizisten of Rheinland Federal Polizei. Inspekteur Clausewitz hier with regular news. Gut news!
Due to increased budget, polizei was able to acquire new valuable asset which is now tested in trials. It is new ship equipped for electronic warfare which should help us to detain ships with illegal cloaking devices onboard. Once the trials will be finished and ship listed to regular duty, you will be noted. Oberkommando is also finishing paperwork connected to establishment of specialized transport unit which will be doing logistical tasks but also will be available to help officers in space when there will be need for transport of confiscated human or non-human cargo.
But now to my favourite part - activity awards. This month, there is seven of them - I am honestly impressed by the amount of work some of you did last month, so you fully deserve these: Untiring Polizist Award is issued to wachmann Damian Heller, two Very Active Polizist Awards are given to detektiv Wolfram Kruppstahl and wachmann Gustav Nijmegen, and there are also four Active Polizist Awards - for both direktors Daniel Artura and Laura Carsten as well as wachmann Alexander Steinmeyer and kadett Claris Claus.
Keep your gut work, damen und herren!
One more thing - I heard there was some party at the beginning of April. I hope that rumours I keep hearing about some women serving food and drinks topless are false. We have some dignity. I am also sure that female part of the polizei forces would not appreciate such sexist event, this is something what they would never attend nor take part in organizing of it.
PRIORITY: Medium ENCRYPTION: Medium IDENTIFICATION:Wachmeister Jakob Felber SOURCE:New Berlin, New Berlin system SUBJECT:Navy Escort, 25.04.23
Hello everyone. Wachmeister Felber here.
I only have a short report of a rather unusual incident yesterday. I was contacted by the captain of the Watchtower, an Oder-class gunboat of the secondary police forces. They had stumbled upon a pilot of the Liberty Navy Primary Fleet, at the Omega-7 jump gate in Stuttgart and directed them to dock at Ulm for interrogation. All of this sounded very strange to me, so I headed over to Ulm immediately. Not wanting to escalate this into a diplomatic incident, I took the freedom of releasing the Navy pilot and escorting him to the Hudson border. I doubt any actual interrogation took place at Ulm, but the man was rather shaken. Probably a newer recruit.
The reason for his little adventure was just as strange as the spot he was found at: Apparently he was escorting his love interest through the Omegas. What am I supposed to say to that?
Anyway, he was perfectly cooperative and we reached Hudson without incident. Here's the logs.
[25.04.2016 08:40:39] RFP|Wach.J.Felber: Hey. Are you the Navy pilot currently held at Ulm?
[25.04.2016 08:40:55] [LN]-Avery.Reeves: Correct *he answers dejectedly*
[25.04.2016 08:41:17] RFP|Wach.J.Felber: Alright. I'm Wachmeister Jakob Felber of the Federal Police. I'll get you out of there.
[25.04.2016 08:41:27] [LN]-Avery.Reeves: Am I clear to undock?
[25.04.2016 08:41:45] RFP|Wach.J.Felber: Not yet, I'm on my way. I'll inform Ulm personnel when I arrive.
[25.04.2016 08:41:53] [LN]-Avery.Reeves: Copy that.
[25.04.2016 08:42:30] RFP|Wach.J.Felber: We don't need to make a major diplomatic incident over a little thing like this, I think.
[25.04.2016 08:42:47] RFP|Wach.J.Felber: Although I have to ask....what were you doing in Rheinland space?
[25.04.2016 08:42:50] [LN]-Avery.Reeves: The truth is I started dating someone, and she has to travel this route for work.
[25.04.2016 08:43:13] [LN]-Avery.Reeves: I was waiting out there to make sure nobody would attempt an attack.
[25.04.2016 08:43:27] RFP|Wach.J.Felber: That's....very sweet. But I do recommend doing that sort of thing on a civilian ship.
[25.04.2016 08:43:36] [LN]-Avery.Reeves: Understood.
[25.04.2016 08:45:04] RFP|Wach.J.Felber: Alright. I suppose I'll escort you directly to the Liberty border.
[25.04.2016 08:45:17] [LN]-Avery.Reeves: Permission to undock then?
[25.04.2016 08:46:10] RFP|Wach.J.Felber: I'm arriving now and I'm radio'ing Ulm docking command. Go ahead.
[25.04.2016 08:46:38] RFP|Wach.J.Felber: Great. Now let's get you to the border.
[25.04.2016 08:46:46] RFP|Wach.J.Felber: Go ahead and take the lane.
[25.04.2016 08:47:00] [LN]-Avery.Reeves: The lane or the gate, officer?
[25.04.2016 08:47:07] RFP|Wach.J.Felber: The lane, we're heading to Hudson.
[25.04.2016 08:47:21] [LN]-Avery.Reeves: I hope she made it back safely.
[25.04.2016 08:47:33] RFP|Wach.J.Felber: I, uh, hope so too.
[25.04.2016 08:47:40] [LN]-Avery.Reeves: Thank you though.
[25.04.2016 08:48:09] RFP|Wach.J.Felber: Keep going.
[25.04.2016 08:49:15] [LN]-Avery.Reeves: Do you have a family?
[25.04.2016 08:49:19] [LN]-Avery.Reeves: Or someone back at home?
[25.04.2016 08:49:44] RFP|Wach.J.Felber: Well, I have my parents, of course. And I have a girlfriend.
[25.04.2016 08:50:03] [LN]-Avery.Reeves: I'm sure you understand then.
[25.04.2016 08:50:28] RFP|Wach.J.Felber: Of course, but if you're doing some off-duty escorting, I recommend getting a ship with freelancer papers for that purpose.
[25.04.2016 08:50:37] [LN]-Avery.Reeves: I'll do that.
[25.04.2016 08:50:54] Bowex.Falcon: Greetings
[25.04.2016 08:51:01] RFP|Wach.J.Felber: Good day, Bowex!
[25.04.2016 08:51:26] [LN]-Avery.Reeves: My name's Avery by the way.
[25.04.2016 08:51:44] RFP|Wach.J.Felber: Pleasure. I did introduce myself, right?
[25.04.2016 08:51:50] [LN]-Avery.Reeves: I think so...?
[25.04.2016 08:52:06] RFP|Wach.J.Felber: Jakob Felber, in case I forgot.
[25.04.2016 08:52:16] [LN]-Avery.Reeves: Good to meet you.
[25.04.2016 08:52:22] RFP|Wach.J.Felber: Alright, Dortmund lane, please.
[25.04.2016 08:52:45] [LN]-Avery.Reeves: Am I allowed to open a comm's link with someone outside space here?
[25.04.2016 08:53:08] RFP|Wach.J.Felber: I don't see why not. Do you want someone to pick you up at the border?
[25.04.2016 08:53:14] [LN]-Avery.Reeves: I'll be fine.
[25.04.2016 08:54:57] RFP|Wach.J.Felber: One more system.
[25.04.2016 08:55:15] [LN]-Avery.Reeves: Don't take this the wrong way, but I never want to come back here.
[25.04.2016 08:55:42] RFP|Wach.J.Felber: Fair enough, heh. I'm sure it'd be nicer if you come as a tourist.
[25.04.2016 08:55:57] [LN]-Avery.Reeves: I'd be shell-shocked from all the memories of interrogation.
[25.04.2016 08:56:04] [LN]-Avery.Reeves: So the experience is kind of ruined.
[25.04.2016 08:56:14] RFP|Wach.J.Felber: Weren't you only at the station for a few minutes?
[25.04.2016 08:56:33] RFP|Wach.J.Felber: They can't have asked you much more than your name and rank in that time.
[25.04.2016 08:56:48] [LN]-Avery.Reeves: My mind is focused on different things.
[25.04.2016 08:56:51] [LN]-Avery.Reeves: Maybe that's why...
[25.04.2016 08:57:13] [LN]-Avery.Reeves: I feel a reprimand coming for this.
[25.04.2016 08:57:14] RFP|Wach.J.Felber: Well. This is a sensitive time, with the peace accords only just having been signed after such a long time.
[25.04.2016 08:57:21] [LN]-Avery.Reeves: At least there's no diplomatic fall-out.
[25.04.2016 08:57:26] RFP|Wach.J.Felber: I'll make sure this doesn't get blown out of proportion on my end.
[25.04.2016 08:57:42] RFP|Wach.J.Felber: Alright, to the Westfalen.
[25.04.2016 08:57:47] [LN]-Avery.Reeves: Thanks.
[25.04.2016 08:57:57] [LN]-Avery.Reeves: This isn't a story I plan on telling either.
[25.04.2016 08:58:22] RFP|Wach.J.Felber: I'll make a standard report, of course. I kind of have to since you were registered at Ulm.
[25.04.2016 08:58:30] [LN]-Avery.Reeves: No worries.
[25.04.2016 08:58:41] RFP|Wach.J.Felber: The Federal Police won't raise issue though, I'm sure.
[25.04.2016 08:58:47] [LN]-Avery.Reeves: It's not like anything hostile happened.
[25.04.2016 08:59:02] RFP|Wach.J.Felber: Exactly. Little things like this aren't that uncommon.
[25.04.2016 08:59:11] [LN]-Avery.Reeves: Re-activating weapon systems.
[25.04.2016 08:59:50] Connection to tradelane sensor network lost.
[25.04.2016 09:00:00] [LN]-Avery.Reeves: Guess this is it then.
[25.04.2016 09:00:03] RFP|Wach.J.Felber: Alright, here's where I turn around. I'm sure you'll be fine.
[25.04.2016 09:00:08] [LN]-Avery.Reeves: Thanks.
[25.04.2016 09:00:23] [LN]-Avery.Reeves: Keep in touch, you have my frequencies registered after the ship inspection.
[25.04.2016 09:00:26] RFP|Wach.J.Felber: Safe flying, Avery. I hope you do return under different circumstances.
[25.04.2016 09:00:32] [LN]-Avery.Reeves: Take care.

the first real patrol for me since mein reactivation showed me that some people still don't either want or cannot understand the laws of Rheinland:
1. Kisihiro smuggler
During mein patrol a Kishiro vessel named Kagawa showed up on TLAG sensors several times, always with either illegal or restricted cargo. Unforunately, Wachmann Heller and I were only able to catch him on sight, hauling military vehicles. As the captain did not posses a license to tranport the vehicles, we ordered him to drop:
Gun cam logs 010203040506
2. Escorting Republican transport.
Near planet New Berlin, Wachmann Heller and I met a Republican transport hauling synth food. For Kusari as the captain claimed. He accepted our offer to escort him to the Sigma-13 jumpgate in Frankfurt.
Gun cam logs: 07
3. Black Market Munitions smuggler.
Wachmann Heller noticed a certain ship with illegal munitions loaded. After splitting up to catch him, the Wachmann was able to intercept the smuggler at Battleship Straussberg.
The smuggler attempted to flee by activating a cloak, but Wachmann Heller and I destroyed the ship and its cargo.
Gun cam logs: 080910
Shortly after, the patrol shift for Heller and me ended, so I landed mein Sutinga on Brandenburg station.
Well today was very interesting we ran into a ALG pilot from the secondary fleet who was holding refugees in a Golem! Ja thats right a Golem one of the strangest things I have seen. Fortunately an ALG captain from the first fleet arrived and was able to assist us in transferring them to New Berlin properly for questioning. After that situation was corrected I was told to search for a Farmers Alliance who was roaming around New Berlin.
Now this is where it gets weird, once the pilot was located he said he was the "Farmers Police". Now that made me laugh but it gets worse he asks me if I ate my vegetables today strange question but to speed up to the priority of this report, things became heated when the RHA arrived and wanted to pick a fight. Fortunately reinforcements arrived and full on battle erupted. With the skills of the RFP and the BDM it was a successful battle and I look forward to supporting my fellow officers in times to comeThat is all for today.

The last patrol through Rheinland space let me believe that I am the last law enforcer. Otherwise I cannot understand why no backup arrived for me.
Let me begin from the start.
Hessian presence
During mein patrols I sadely had to witness that the Red Hessians moved heavy capital ship forces around Hamburg and New Berlin. As mein Wraith
was not enough to deal with the Hessian capitals, I kept ein safe distance and performed scans of them. Scan logs:****
Smugglers of political refugees
Near Lubeck ein freelancer tried to smuggle criminals with hacked ID stating them as refugees. I ordered the pilot to unload them at Lubeck and relaunch
into space after. The pilot complied so I did not orderein fine and let him proceed with his journey. Logs:***
Cryer Bison with political refugees and Hessian support
Near Dortmund station I intercepted a Cryer Bison transport named Ragnar, which was smuggling criminal elements out of Rheinland, too. Unlike the freelancer the
Cryer pilot did obey mein orders. When Hessian capital ships arrived on he scene, the pilot seemed to know them as he hailed the ships.
As such, I ordered the refugees to be dropped right near the stations.
Instead the Bison fled while being covered by the Hessians. Unfortunately, I was only able to damage the ship before mein Bergelmir was
crippled by the cruiser and gunboat fire. Logs:***

below you will find ein overview of notworthy incidents that happened the last days during mein patrols within our borders.
Corsair battleship
In New Berlin ein rather overfodient captain of ein corsair battleship trespassed our borders. With the help of ein BDM cruiser
Frau Carsten and I were able to destroy the battleship before it could cause any harm to civilians. Logs:**
Escort of Core transport within Rheinland
Yesterday, I met ein Bison battletransport with Iridum near planet New Berlin. It was on its way to Solitaire Metropolis in Stuttgart.
I offered to escort the ship which was appreciated. During the flight, I informed the pilot about the necessary license for
armarments when asked. Logs:***
Cardamine smuggler
Later on ein pilot ofthe AFC contacted me. According to him there was ein transport trying to smuggle cardamine through Rheinland.
The information proved to be correct. I confiscated the cardamamine from the rogue transport and ordered him to leave Rheinlad on the
quickest way. The AFC pilot was not happy about it and quite eager to destroy the ship. I ordered him to stand down as the rogue complied
to mein orders. Nontheless the help of the AFC was good, as such I ask that the quartermastery sends ein little gratification to the said pilot.
Moreover I would like to stress out the quick help of the Core transport APM-Caelestis that came nearby. When asked by me, the Core pilot
took over the cardamine and transported it to Brandenburg base in New Berlin for registration and proper destruction afterwards.
Perhaps ein speeding up of the requested registry for armarments might be gut? But this of course to decide from the Oberkomanndo. Logs:*****

I made sure the artifacts were confiscated and the turrets unmounted at Oder. Moreover the pilot of the Corvo paid the issued fine for the turrets. Logs:*****

Guten Tag, Sehr geehrte polizisten of Rheinland Federal Polizei. Inspekteur Clausewitz hier again, I bet you missed me. I was ill but I´m back, at least for now.
First, I would like to start with welcoming back in the duty oberst Thomas Wolthers. There are very little officer which has same amount of experience and skills like he does. He could enjoy retirement after years of hard work, but instead he decided to return to fight with crime and he deserves lot of respect for that. Especially considering how dedicated he became already.
What leads me to issue of activity awards. I owe them to some of you for your dedication to duty during April and May. And the list starts with the person I just mentioned - oberst Wolthers earned himself Extraordinary Active Polizist Award directly in his first month after return and may serve as fine example to all officers. Apart from him, polizeidirektorin Carsten earned Untiring Polizist Award and Dedicated Polizist Award, polizeidrektor Artura Very Active Polizist Award, komissar Armin Steiner Active Polizist Award, detektiv Wolfram Kruppstahl Very Active Polizist Award and then there is also group of dedicated wachmänner - Damian Heller earned himself Dedicated Polizist Award and Active Polizist Award, Jakob Felber Active Polizist Award and Gustav Nijmegen Very Active Polizist Award and Active Polizist Award. Keep your gut work, damen und herren!
Last issue on my table is one promotion. Kadett Claris Claus is hereby promoted to rank of wachmann. Congratulation!
