Today's standard Sigma-13 patrol and traffic control has produced two notable incidents.
The first of which was a cardamine smuggler, encountered near the Sigma-19 jumphole and heading towards the system's tradelanes. Following a conversation in which they tried to bribe their way out of the situation, the pilot agreed to drop his cardamine, which was destroyed, and pay a standard fine peacefully. They were then successfully escorted to the Frankfurt jumpgate, and left the Sigma-13 system.
This encounter was noteworthy due to the mention of unknown "employers" and an apparent commitment to the continued transport of cardamine through Guild space, although it is most likely the people pulling the strings were simply Outcast drug lords. All paramilitary patrols should be aware of the ship Silky.Path and intercept it immediately if detected.
[04.01.2016 20:44:22] GMG|Keiji'Namura: Good day, pilot. Please hold for routine inspection.
[04.01.2016 20:44:29] Silky.Path: Oh?
[04.01.2016 20:44:58] GMG|Keiji'Namura: Thank you for your co-operation.
[04.01.2016 20:45:04] Silky.Path: It's not a problem/.
[04.01.2016 20:45:10] GMG|Keiji'Namura: Are you aware cardamine is considered contraband in this system?
[04.01.2016 20:45:15] Silky.Path: I was not.
[04.01.2016 20:45:30] GMG|Keiji'Namura: I am afraid this is indeed the case.
[04.01.2016 20:45:34] Silky.Path: Would it be possible for me to pay a fine as an apology?
[04.01.2016 20:46:05] GMG|Keiji'Namura: Standard procedure for handing the transport of cardamine is all cargo is dropped and a fine paid, at
[04.01.2016 20:46:14] GMG|Keiji'Namura: 1,000,000 credits per 1,000 units, rounded up.
[04.01.2016 20:46:28] GMG|Keiji'Namura: I am afraid I must enforce this procedure.
[04.01.2016 20:46:38] Silky.Path: I would be willing to pay twice that fine if i was allowed to keep my cargo.
[04.01.2016 20:46:51] GMG|Keiji'Namura: I am afraid that is not an option. Your cargo may not travel any further.
[04.01.2016 20:47:20] Silky.Path: Three times as much? This is an important delivery.
[04.01.2016 20:47:31] GMG|Keiji'Namura: No. Please drop the cardamine.
[04.01.2016 20:47:39] Silky.Path: My employers would be rather angry if i lost the cardamine, sir.
[04.01.2016 20:47:51] GMG|Keiji'Namura: I would recommend searching for other employment.
[04.01.2016 20:48:06] Silky.Path: I could suggest the same to you.
[04.01.2016 20:48:16] Silky.Path: You would be paid well.
[04.01.2016 20:48:29] GMG|Keiji'Namura: My position of Guildmaster is engaging enough.
[04.01.2016 20:48:40] Silky.Path: Oh dear....
[04.01.2016 20:49:16] GMG|Keiji'Namura: Indeed.
[04.01.2016 20:49:21] Silky.Path: I suppose i have no choice, there will always be future opportunities...
[04.01.2016 20:49:56] GMG|Keiji'Namura: Thank you for your compliance. There is now only the matter of the 5,000,000 credit fine.
[04.01.2016 20:50:33] GMG|Keiji'Namura: It can be made to me via direct transfer here.
[04.01.2016 20:50:55] Silky.Path: I am already sure to feel the wrath of my employers, please consider lowering it to 4,200,000.
[04.01.2016 20:51:21] GMG|Keiji'Namura: The smuggling of cardamine through Guild space is not tolerated. I am afraid the fine is non-negotiable.
[04.01.2016 20:51:26] Silky.Path: *sighs*
[04.01.2016 20:52:01] GMG|Keiji'Namura: Thank you for your compliance. To ensure your safe passage through Sigma-13, I will escort you to your chosen exit.
[04.01.2016 20:52:37] Silky.Path: Thank you for the assistance..., I am headed to frankfurt.
[04.01.2016 20:52:44] GMG|Keiji'Namura: Understood. Take the lead.
[04.01.2016 20:55:02] GMG|Keiji'Namura: We are approaching the Frankfurt gate.
[04.01.2016 20:55:20] GMG|Keiji'Namura: Please be aware of Guild laws in the future. I again recommend you search for...other employment.
[04.01.2016 20:55:43] Silky.Path: That isn't an option, i'll keep your guilds laws in mind though.
[04.01.2016 20:55:53] GMG|Keiji'Namura: Please enjoy your flight.
The second noteworthy encounter of the patrol was with a Kruger "Colossus" Rheinland Train, first detected at the Honshu gate and subsequently tailed to Gas Miner Naha. This ship was carrying a full load of furs, presumably a luxury designated for the Rheinland elite. Despite Kruger's status as banned from Guild space, I was prepared to exercise leniency and allow this ship to pass with merely a fine. However, the abrasive pilot had other ideas. They engaged their engines and attempted to flee in direct violation of Guild directives, eventually opening fire when disrupted.
Following a short firefight, the outmatched Colossus lost hull integrity and exploded spectacularly, unfortunately causing great waste as its valuable cargo was lost in the process.
[04.01.2016 21:00:00] GMG|Keiji'Namura: Good day, pilot. Please hold for routine inspection.
[04.01.2016 21:00:28] Lt.Eagle: Guten Tag, since when does GMG do Checks?
[04.01.2016 21:00:38] GMG|Keiji'Namura: Since Sigma-13 was Guild space. Hundreds of years.
[04.01.2016 21:00:56] GMG|Keiji'Namura: Are you aware that ships carrying Kruger Minerals identification are unwelcome in Guild space?
[04.01.2016 21:01:47] Lt.Eagle: Kruger doesnt care much about GMG
[04.01.2016 21:02:14] GMG|Keiji'Namura: Indeed. That is why your corporation is banned from Guild space.
[04.01.2016 21:02:27] Lt.Eagle: Since the war Sigma 13 is Rheinland territory
[04.01.2016 21:02:44] GMG|Keiji'Namura: No, I am afraid it is not. This is space controlled by the Gas Miners Guild.
[04.01.2016 21:03:35] Lt.Eagle: Let me pass and i shall not call the military to clean up this system
[04.01.2016 21:04:20] GMG|Keiji'Namura: I am afraid threats hold no weight. Cut your engines immediately. Failing to comply with Guild directives will result in ship
[04.01.2016 21:04:26] GMG|Keiji'Namura: destruction.
[04.01.2016 21:04:49] GMG|Keiji'Namura: Very well. Discharging antimatter.
[04.01.2016 21:05:53] Death: Lt.Eagle was put out of action by GMG|Keiji'Namura (Gun).
