Guten Tag Offiziere.

I relocated to Thuringia in preparation for small tactics exercises with the Büro des Marinenachrichtendiensts. However, upon arriving to the designated docking bay, I found it to be empty. The loading master told me that the exercises were postponed, though I was made welcome in the ready room.

Before even having a chance to put up my gear, a low-level scramble alert activated in the bay. As my ship was ready to go, I immediately ran back and sped my way through the pre-launch. As soon as I undocked, I got the contact which the Bayern must have detected on scanners: a Junker Camara freighter (callsign: Junkgirl. It was full of Xeno relics (ERROR: Infocard scan corrupted) - an ongoing issue in Frankfurt and Thuringia as Obl Habermeyer attests in her reports.
With the vessel already more than 7K away, I gave the order to halt and gave chase, but to no avail. The pilot made a feeble excuse about a reactor malfunction, and soon enough I lost them on scanners as they went through the Bering jump anomaly. I confirmed that the area around the anomaly was clear, and proceeded back to Bayern to remain in a ready holding pattern.

Meanwhile, the pilot contacted me over long-range tightbeam to apologize and promise that their ship's reactor would be fixed in due course. I responded that upon return to Rheinland, the captain was to dock with Bayern and clear up the situation, as well as to pay a fine of 500,000SC for this incident. This amount was immediately transferred to my neural net node. I made it clear that the next encounter of this sort would result in more severe penalties, and that failure to change their ways would see them added to our vessel blacklist. While the pilot did not seem to be thrilled about such an eventuality, their appeals to having to make a living makes me think that we'll be seeing them again in the future...
