Source:Nimes Station From:Lt. Jean Lecuyer To: Council Command Subject: Patrol Report: 01/4/34 Encryption: High
15:15 GMT: Le Chevalier departs from Nimes.
15:20 GMT: I encountered what appeared to be a Sirian trade ship with the name >>flighter86<<. The captain seemed friendly and inquired as to where he could purchase Tobacco. I of course told him that the best and cheapest was available on Macon. I proceeded to escort his ship to Remoulins, where I warned him not to proceed as the GRN would fire upon as they did all Sirians. They let his ship pass through the gate though, so I endeavored to stop it if it came back out and make sure the crew was interrogated.
15:50 GMT: I stopped the vessel >>flighter86<< near Montpellier. When I asked about his unusual encounter with the GRN he seemed confused, as if it was only natural for the GRN to let him pass. I noticed he was also trying to remove Council technology from Gallia. I ordered him to dock with Montpellier where his crew would be quetioned and the weapons removed. He co-operated and then departed for Rousillon.
16:05 GMT: Contact made with unknown vessel in Rousillon over inter-system comms. The sender Identified himself as Rodger Sterling, Director of Foreign Affairs for the Independent Communist Miners' Guild, which is apparently a branch of the IMG. He seemed eager to meet with a member of The Council who had authority over foreign affairs. I of course told him that this was not my primary role within The Council. I assured him I would pass his request on and that he would be contacted by the appropriate authority within several days. At that he ordered his ship to depart.
16:36 GMT: Patrol ends at Nimes.
