Well, Chief, I want to apply for SWAT. Reason being is that Liberators don't always cut it when your in a fight. My Liberator is outfitted with peashooters, basically, compared to the ships pirates are using nowadays. And if I am accepted into SWAT, then I can better combat these threats with bigger guns and bigger ships. I would also like to request that my Liberator be outfitted with Magmahammers instead of Vengences, that would help a lot also.
GRANTED. Tavors, you will be a welcome addition to the SWAT team. Go get em!

Did a patrol of Illinois, Colorado, New York and Pennsylvania today, in that order.
I started out at Springfield Station, headed to my office at Police Plaza for some supplies and to Colorado.
After doing a patrol there, noticing nothing interesting, I went to New York and did a short loop there. I saw a
Rogue at the Norfolk - Fort Bush trade lane, who was being taken care of by a Liberty Navy capital ship.
That was pretty much it for New York; other than him it was devoid of any criminal elements, so I headed
for Pennsylvania and to Bethlehem Station, where there, luckily, was no Zoner capital ship named Zoner.02 this
time. Planet Erie was also clear, except for the usual Helium miners. I headed back to Philadelphia Station and
ended my shift there.
I got on my Pelican armored transport right after the previous patrol for a joint patrol with a three other
officers (Devin Travors, Cho Sprinks and Allen Bergmann).
I met up with them at the Jump Gate to California after seeing a Rogue(Praeclarus) at West Point, who ignored me and fled.
Here the Rogue had apparently met up with a "freelancer" flying a Tridente gunboat, the "Joyous.Occasion".
They both asked us "very nicely" to leave, so we let them go free as long as they didn't cause any trouble.
I and officer Sprinks then did a short patrol of New York. We then decided to go on a patrol of California and
then afterwards do some embargo duty in Texas. On our way to the Jump Gate, however, we saw a Lane Hacker
bomber, the "Madelain". We stopped him and asked him to leave and drop the civilian pilot in his hold,
which he complied with in exchange for a Lane Hacker pilot I'd picked up earlier. The patrol of California was
uneventful, so we left for Texas.
Texas was not quite as boring as California; we stopped two suspicious transports and escorted them to their
goals, which were Sugarland and New Hampshire, and, best of all, we stopped a Pirate Transport ferrying
blood diamonds, who we tried to fine and get him to drop his cargo. He refused and started firing on us with
no warning beforehand, so we opened fire on him and subsequently destroyed him. The majority of his
cargo was vaporised on the spot, except some samples which were ferried groundside to our scientists at Houston.
Lauren strolls into her new office in the HR department. Smiling as she notices the new words attached to the door "Administrator's Office -Lauren Myers".
Just a quick message to all officers on and off duty, I'd like to congratulate you on your professionalism and diligence. True men and women of the badge, I'm proud to know the guys who got my back are willing to give all they got. So cheers and keep up the good work.

Unlike me, I'm pro at making it look like I actually have an opinion on the topic.
Except in this post.
I'm feeling rebellious.

Hi, everyone. I'd just like to notify you all that I just got an offer from Deep Space Engineering on a Mammoth,
with options open for another one open, and that I purchased one on the spot for our probably soon-to-be
trade division. The keys for it can be gotten over the 5KYP-3 protocol as usual, or trough the Trade Division portal
when it becomes available. I'll probably purchase the second one later, I'll keep you updated.
Update:
Ah well. I bought the second one too. They are identical, except for their names: I've christened the second one with the name
Yankton, after the ancient American prison with the same name. Both will be available, as mentioned, trough the Trade Division
neural net portal or by the 5KYP-3 protocol.
Update 2:
Forwarding the receipts I got from Deep Space Engineering, in case anyone needs them later:
1*Mammoth ship package - $10,114,750
5*Small Transport turrets - $1,250,000
1*Wasp Cruise Disruptor - $1,980
1* Improved Countermeasure Dropper - $12,000
1*Heavy Thruster - $48,000
300*Nanobots - $60,000
300*Shield Batteries - $60,000
70*Wasp Missiles - $3,500
70*Imp. CM Flares - $3,500
-
Additional equipment: IFF tag firmware update - $1,140,000 + $80,000 Sum: $12,723,830
I don't think 25 million credits was too bad for two brand new transports; they should be good for both cargo interdiction and
trading. I'll look into upgrading the Cruise Disruptors ASAP, though.

Earlier today I started my shift at Philadelphia Station on my Executioner. Surprisingly, however, the first
thing I was greeted with as soon as I powered up my ship was a group communications channel invite from
Captain Jack Bauer, who was on his SWAT Roc bomber under attack by two Rheinland Military gunboats
(W-2 and W-10) and a Junker Kusari Explorer gunboat-class ship named the "Bad-Dog". I quickly moved towards
his position at 2G and sent an emergency message over the 5KYP-3 protocol to any lawful forces in the area.
Shortly after I arrived, however, both the Gunboats and the Junkers fled, but only after taking out a LCBO
Siege Cruiser, the Ohio, who was with Jack before I arrived, apparently. I and Bauer headed back to Philadelphia
for repairs. Jack ended his shift here, while I left for Planet Erie on patrol duty. I did a patrol of the New York system,
which was mostly uneventful except a transport captain shouting about the two Gunboats having arrived in Texas, and a Rogue that fled the moment he saw me at the Pennsylvania Jump Gate. After the patrol I headed
back to Pennsylvania, did another patrol of the system, and, noting nothing really interesting, I left for my office
at Philadelphia to take the first shuttle to Manhattan to acquire new Cruise Disruptors for the Yankton and Greenville.
Bought upgrades for both the Yankton and Greenville. The upgrade package for both consisted of a Train
Cruise Disruptor, an Advanced Countermeasure flare dropper, and an Advanced Cargo Scanner. All the
relevant new ammo for the flare droppers and cruise disruptors were also bought.
The upgrade cost was $810480 per ship.

So i powered up my ship smd sent off to baltimore shipyard for some new lights i realised that my current ones werent how shall we say in with the current allignment they should be but thats sorted now...
anyway so i start my patrol in NY and flew through to Colorado stopped one transport for inspection which checked out and i let him go. shortly after i saw an officer around and so asked if i could patrol with him as I needed to get the patrol experience with a superior officer to attain my officer rank some day.
When i first joing the convoy we were taking a subject to huntsville, or sugarland, i cant remember now, but we were ambushed by 5 pirates one with a phantom ID and we tried to negotiate our way our of total annialation but in the end our arrestee was destroyed as earlier when we captured him, he had an unfortunate accident with a sun! and so had no defences to protect him from the onslaught the pirates had to offer. Shortly after the pirates gave up on negotiating they destroyed the mining ship and went on their way.
the patrol was shorted due to our lengthy time with the pirate encounter and so returned to Fort Bush to file this report.
Images will be loaded from my imaging device shortly... just having a hickup with it momentarrily... edit: ok images loaded

Did a patrol in my Liberator today, starting at Planet Manhattan. The first thing I noticed when I undocked was
something awfully suspicious; there was a ship with a Rheinland Military IFF sitting above Manhattan! I immediately
hailed him over a private communications channel, asking why he was here. Was a lot more complex than I thought, though.
Turned out that he was a poor captain that had awoken this morning in a Starflier at
Manhattan quite obviously without his Cruiser. After talking to him for a good while I figured he was in enough
trouble as it was already and left him alone. He wasn't exactly much threat to me in his Starflier either.
I continued on my loop of the New York system, until I came to West Point where I headed off for the Pennsylvania System,
where I did a patrol until I received an emergency transmission from the LSF vessel
"Infinity", requesting backup in California, which I unfortunately couldn't respond to due to me being quite short
on time after having spend half an hour or so talking to the poor Military captain. Ah well. I hope they are ok.
I ended my patrol at Philadelphia Station.
I'm also not sure what to expect after being sold out to the Interspace Neural Net division. I've heard things
about them. And the Chief. I guess I'll have to wait and see. For now, I'll just continue doing my job as usual.
I'd like to give you a quick update before I go. I'm still working with this, but I'll have to have a quick chat
with O'Brian before I do anything more or make anyone any promises I can't hold. Give it a week or so.
