Patrol report:
Oh dear, where to start. Yesterday had everything. Gunboat battles, a coordinated blockade to stop a spy, a carimine smuggler, one hell of a dogfight... I love this job. Never boring.
So, my patrol started yesterday, I left FB, and headed to Manhattan. There I managed to catch guncam evidence of MrTintenfisch hauling 5000 Artifacts. I managed to get guncam pictures, but he docked too fast for me to stop him. I dispached ground security, who apparently failed to apprehend him.
After I informed him I have evidence, and told him to pay a 4 milion fine, he made a run twards Detroit, the LPI Gunboat Aurora, came to my aid as I would have not been able to take down a ship of that size.
He was denied acces to dock at detroit, (// but the bloody idiot docked anyway, after explaining the rules of the server he undocked). He did not want to pay, so I allowed the Aurora to open fire, until sheilds where disabled. He still refused to pay (// stating he had no cargo to loose) and at that moment, a pirate destroyer appeared on radar, SWAT reinrofcments where called in and we engaged, MrTintenfisch ran off, even tough he was told not to move (// he docked at manhattan and logged off... :angry:NOT COOL.). After dealing with the Destroyer, at the cost of my ship, I went off duty for a while.
Guncam - The Pirate Destroyer Erebos.
Guncam - MrTintenfisch being told not to run, he is now 8km away.
Back on duty, I spot a ship by the name of [RSO]Blackhand~Nassau. I asked a superior officer about the tag, but no answer was given. I told the ship to stop, but it went to cruise, I went in persiut soon to be joined by J.Shaw, and when close enough to get a 3d scan, I saw it was a rheinland gunboat. I ordered the system into lockdown, and Shaw informed the navy ship, LNS-Graystone, while I informed the Aurora. He headed into the badlands, so expecting him to make a jump to texas, we all headed there. Surpirisingly he jumped to pensylvana, so, the Graystone went to the Texas-Penn Jumphole with J.Shaw, The Aruora to the NY-Penn Jumpgate with a freelancer Eustace,who joined us, and Cruiser_903 went with me to the Cali-Penn JH. Once units where at eache exit, we entered. One Capship was kept at each exit, and the system was put into lockdown. The Fighters went on patrol within the system. After some time, about 45 minutes, we got to a point where the gunboat approched, by agreement the Texas Jumphole. There, Eustance, Shaw, The LNS-Graystone and myself waited it. They ejected something they claimed to find on the body of Eire's Governor, an "Anomaly". I do not know weather I am cleared by the navy to put this in the report, but it was a dead Nomad. At this point I had to leave, due to some technical difficulties. My sourcers later told me the spy was blown sky high. I do not know weather the data he stole from Manhattan was recovered.
After I went back on duty, I was challanged by an Outcast, TheZombie, to a duel. The Aurora, and Pirate destroyer Erebos, came to watch and make sure it was a fair fight. After half an hour of dueling, I lost, fortunatley, the one thing good about our ships is that the ejector seat works fine.
