Sujet:Tau Patrol Report

Bonjour,

This is Aspirant Villeneuve reporting in with another debrief from my recent patrol of the Lyonnais border into Dauphine, Languedoc, Tau-23 and back.

Upon entering Dauphine from the Lyonnais system, I detected one IDF tagged transport hauling Aluminium ore seemingly heading toward the Languedoc jumpgate. So I decided to follow this vessel and see where its heading exactly.

Reaching the Remoulins debris field, two additional ships were detected on scanners: another IDF transport and a pirate! In Languedoc. I have to say I admire this one's ambitions coming this far into Corse turf. The pirate began extorting the IDF convoy for credits totally oblivious to my presence and the fact that no one is allowed to make such demands in our space. The panicky IDF convoy of course refused the pirate's demands and began performing defensive maneuvers at which point they were more than happy to accept my assistance.

Finally realizing the big mistake, the pirate engaged cruise speed after firing off a few salvos at one of the transports and flew out of range of cruise disruptors. I'll be watching extra careful for this one. I think this one needs to learn a lesson for intruding Corse turf. The pirate was also flying an interesting ship, similar to those of the Hessians I've seen when running trade mission to Rheinland. Oh I almost forgot to add, the IDF convoy leader wired a sum of 2.000.000 credits for scaring off the pirate.

I decided to end my patrol on Java, but upon entering Tau-23 the convoy was again disrupted by another opportunist flying under the Privateer flag. This one was much wiser and backed off. Another 2.000.000 were wired to my account by the IDF captain. I have to say not a bad pay day for just flying a normal patrol route. Maybe next time I'll have to raise the "escort" fee a little bit.

I was also contacted by a mysterious individual offering a partnerships of some sorts in the Taus. At the time I had my hands full with the privateer and the convoy, though I will keep an eye out for this individual and see what it is they are offering.

I flew to Java to resupply and headed back to Dauphine to end my patrol.
