I.. I will be listing off the offenders, mentioned in my earlier report, followed with their crimes and status of justice. I have gone through my ships files, and found most of the information on the events of the night and early morning shift of the 4th and 5th.
Patrol started.
Wraith ship was presently engaged with RepEx and DW forces. Wraith was a VHF class, sabre. I engaged as well, backup began to pour in from both sides. Enemy was vastly outclassed and outnumbered.
Enemy backup consisted of a ravens claw named Dark Ranger, an outcast gunboat known as Beasti Intergalactica, and... im not sure but maybe one other unioner. The furball of the mass amount of allied ships fighting the pirates had my scanners flipping around..
Wraith vessel was destroyed, Dark ranger was destroyed, and the outcast gunboat.... docked on the ring... after investigation, some lane hacker liberty script is suspected. He was apprehended later, so no matter.
The next bit of action.. a "zoner" that had previous crimes against rheinland was instructed to be destroyed. The ships name was Major Zero. Flying a liberty gunboat, after being attacked he also ran and docked on the ring. I have footage of this happening, to add to his record of discord in our space.
I think around here is when Beasti Intergalactica was seen in Dresden. We all moved, and his ship was destroyed. I have footage of his destruction, not visual, but log recording.
Then we had all manner of.. ignorance spew in. The next ship, i believe, was a corsair bomber by the name of Gaza? No... Garva.. Pictures confirm Garva.. Anyways... he, well.. he flew right to new Berlin, and started to bomb a trader in front of the planet... He was quickly destroyed, and then within about... 5 to maybe 8 minutes, had acquired a new ship and was already back. I instructed him to leave the system, which he did not. He instead offered some... very rude rebuttal, and i began destroying his ship again. The other two officers on at the time were tending to more important matters with larger threats in our other systems, so i delt with this one mostly on my own. He fired no shots back, and his ship was not destroyed again. I made sure he would have to limp from this beating though.
After speaking with the corsair for some time, because he also landed on a base belonging to allies of the rheinland militairy, he undocked, and was lead out of the system by Hans Kreiger and myself. He seemed to be having an identity crisis, but we were not about to help him...
Upon our return to rheinland space, we immediately found a... Hessian cruiser? Yes, named Varyag attacking civilian ships 13k away from new berlin. Only fighters on at the time, we delayed for a moment, then attacked in force after backup was... thought to be secured. Luckily, the thought was correct, and the... va... vene.... One of our own Rheinland Militairy Cruisers showed up to aid in the pirates destruction.
A few civilians, whom previously were dying, sat and watched the fight. They seemed... disappointed that we had won. At this point, i was getting fed up with the idiocy of the traders, and actually... requested to remove the enemy sympathizers.... Fortunately for them, my request was denied. Jckhmr-2 and Kleinee(T) were the two.... disappointed civilians.. I wish i was allowed to make them realize what we just saved them from..
Next up, i held the fort, while the other two officers secured our other systems. They suspected... that there were enemies of our chancellor there, i don't recall if they confirmed or not, because soon after they left, dark ranger returned. I decided to hold him off myself while the other officers investigated, his newly acquired gunboat seemed to be giving him more trouble than he could give me. Yes... he bought a gunboat to try and attack us again... I was pleased to show him that.. it was a futile waste of his credits. After fighting him for a, lets say appropriate amount of time alone, i called the other two fighters back in order to kill him. I had little hope of destroying his gunboat by myself, and i was more than glad to receive the help from all the officers on patrol. We quickly destroyed his gunboat, which tried to flee just as the officers arrived. Spine to come in in a gunboat for one fighter, but no spine to face the inevitable. We made him face it none the less.
We had a rough time with some traders, being aggravating for the sake of it. Followed by alot of nonsensical com chatter from them, and then a sos from a trader being attacked at the hamburg jump gate. The pirate blew him up for revealing his location, and the RM went to apprehend. I cut through Frankfurt, while the other two officers went straight for him. We met the pirate at planet hamburg, and destroyed his ship. Pirate was... Julo? and the trader was... Shinju.... So much happened... im sorry for the approximation on these names... my log files were filling and needed dumping it seems...
We then suffered through more ignorant traders... Complaining that we were wasting their time, and not being in the "right spots" to actually help... Yet every pirate that showed up during the patrol, was either destroyed or forced out. Only one trader fell prey, and he was dishonorably destroyed, and well.... i wont be shedding a tear for his loss of "money"... that was shinju, whom decided to scream and moan about losing his investment, before being worried that his investment was passengers... human lives left floating in space and he was too concerned about us not being exactly where he was to stop the loss of his income....
We... we had a slight moral boosting experience... it broke the tension, and raised our spirits to deal with... well the next fool to come to rheinland. I docked to process some video feed for documentation, and when i returned someone named frood was causing trouble for our officers. I moved to help dispatch this "frood" when the officers told me of quite a list of contraband he was hauling:
Artifacts
Counterfeit Software
Minor Nomad Brain
Nomad Slaves
Plutonium (not contraband, but he advertised its use and that use was for malicious purpose along with the other contraband)
Synthetic Marijuana
All logged in photographic evidence.
At mention of the slaves, i was already ordering his vessel destroyed, and then thrown into the gravity pull of the sun... I moved in at full aggression, and saw to it he was destroyed in the utmost effective manner, and that he would not again be hauling his filth through our systems..
And again, a while later, someone with a big mouth came into new Berlin complaining and sympathizing with our enemies... A trader found the need to try and defend this "frood" in that he was simply not right in the head. I personally don't care... The slaves were rescued, the other contraband ... dest... destroyed.. The slaves were turned over for identification and processing.
The next bit was nice.. it was quiet again.. things were going smoothly, no more pirates, and patrols were ending. We were going to get to sleep..
Then, Shinju or whatever his worthless name is came back... Having already caused problems, and already been snippy, and already an inhumane dretch that in my opinion has no right to be protected, decided it would be a "fun" idea to fire a few volleys onto me... We returned the favor, spoke with him for quite some time, and blasted his ship down to it needing to limp off to the closest base out of new Berlin and repair.
I would like to request that this trader, be placed on a list... a new list.. a list of traders that receive no help, or aid from the Rheinland Militairy. He seems not to be grateful at all for it, and wishes that we were not there to "slow him down". So, lets let the pirates and terrorists slow him down instead? Of course, we must always scan and keep an eye on his activities.. he also eluded to smuggling contraband into our fine systems...
I honestly wish that people could just... just be decent to one another... I would rather be out of a job, than see this kind of... just indecency towards one another...
Kat... Oh.. gosh... i mean Katharina Guntram... Signing off.
