Not used to trying to stop something this big, I almost wished I had the MKII but what's done is done. I must have chattered this guy's head off and his language skills were, well, limited as the situation dictated. Those shields weren't an issue but that armor was. This joker was hauling Military vehicles and I'm sure I didn't see him on the registered ships to move that kind of cargo. He's not right? Had a long verbose and extended conversation, with myself, as he only shouted nonsense once in a while and then I shouted back. He landed at Bonn to avoid my fury. Which, wasn't a whole lot. But he's the RCD's problem now.
Something I should have done a long time ago that of all people, Jake Hudson started doing. Taking one unit of cargo to determine where these people are most likely buying the items from and where they are most likely shipping them That's why when we see diamond smuggles, it's pretty bloody obvious they are taking them from the Daumann base straight to Liberty Space on Planet Manhattan. Funk_Wagnaaal was one such bloke. I'm tired of having to re-explain the laws of your house or even that there is an embargo or how about a bloody war still going on. If they continue to give me this, Who-what-where-why act, I'm giving them notice. This chap didn't stop, so I made him. I targetted his cargo and removed it from space.
This Liberty transport was shipping H-fuel to who knows where, out of Rheinland space. After I asked him if he knew anything about the war, the embargo, he said he didn't. He still tried to make a run for it. Not my problem and his problems were solved. Again, that H-fuel lit up space for a few seconds too. By the way, being escorted by a Liberty Heavy Fighter with no ID is no a good way to convince someone in Rheinland space how innocent you are.

Finally, having taken out enough transports I know that when the hive is beat on, the hornets start buzzing. If this chap Breeze gives you a hard time, just refer to our conversation. No real harm done from him yet.

I'm back from my time on Medical at Baden Baden. Joey didn't get hit as hard as I did in the downing on the Thexder so he actually had a little R&R. My whole body aches still. So I ran into one of those beautiful Zoner transports ID of the Suzaku with a whole cargo load of Deuterium. I don't even know what the stuff is for but its really high-end. It was heading to Liberty space. The guy just kept inching to the Bering gate and even admitted to stopping 'twice.' But still he crept to the gate. I mean really? He didn't know about the war, the embargo that's been around for, what, as long as we've been working for you and that's the best he has? Well that didn't pan out too well for him and he and his cargo were destroyed. We had a great educational chat from his ejection pod. Hopefully he'll wise up.

On my way back from the gate I ran into an IMG IFF transport on approach to Bering. He stopped dead cold on the trade lane when he saw me heading down the same path, already in cruise. I guess I spooked him and his reaction was enough for me to chase him down. He figured outrunning me in cruise wasn't going to work so he took the lane and for what ever reason, stopped two lane junctions before Hamburg. I guess he already made the planetary defenses mad. The transport was a Firefly'¦wait..no..what was that? A Nanga Parbat - IMGT-5E Medium Transport. Damn looks thrown together. But yea, that. I tried communicating to the IMG ship and didn't get one bit of a response. Is that really their best defense now? Saying nothing? Oh and opening fire on me with no warning was typical independent IMG strategy. That really didn't work out all too well seeing I destroyed him and, yea, that cargo of Robotics, gone baby. Class dismissed.

This one is the last report for the month and it goes out with a bang. A total of four ships on the report so get your thinking caps on. The order of things is a bit out of order to make it a bit clearer. I'll start from the middle.
Alright. After an issue with two other transports and a guy in one of your Military fighters helping them get to Liberty with Uncut Diamonds, (I promise I'll get to that part)., I ran into this one. A Civi Freelancer in an Albatross, trying to get Engine components to'¦haha he said Bretionia. Get this. He said he was going to Waterloo to New London. Yes of course! Through Liberty space no doubt, that was why he was in Hamburg, how stupid of me! All kidding aside I stopped that guy between the shipyard and Hamburg to talk things over. That reluctant Military guy wasn't so reluctant to help blow a transport out of space. I'll get to that later. In any case JEWBACCA tried to make a run for it as he was trying to convince me he had no idea where Omega 3 was. Ok, that was plenty of idiocy for one day. Charged the guns and took him out in a hurry. Now this time I searched high and low and even on the SKY comm. signals and not a peep. I wasn't going to babysit the Engine Components all night, so I left them there.
Meat and Potatoes time people. First off, Patrick_Reus. Find out who that guy is in a hurry. He assisted two Deep Space Engineering transports to Hamburg in an attempt to get them to New York. The report about him is spread out all over this report to keep up. First is this STEVEN guy in yet another Albatross transport. This time, this one was hauling Uncut Diamonds to the only place one would risk taking the things to. Manhattan, Liberty space. I met this guy while he was still in New Berlin, crossing the threshold to Hamburg. I gave him a chance to see where he was going to and sure as anything, he went to Hamburg. Low and behold, , Patrick_Reus was waiting for him at the gate. Take note this issue occurs before the above even to give you continuity of sorts. Ok, while in Hamburg, I disrupted the lane and tried to converse to STEVEN the error of his ways. Instead he made an about face, not back to New Berlin, but to the listening post where he quickly landed. Remember Patrick_Reus? He just watched the whole time. STEVEN made every effort to tick me off, launching in a hurry, taking the lane and landing at the Hamburg Shipyard. That was brilliant. It gets better.
Another Albatross! What did they have a fire sale on these things? Anyway Bobbynator was the second in the group to haul Uncut Diamonds to Liberty, but I disrupted his engines and gave him the understanding, he was in trouble. I put two and two together and figured out these three were working together. Patrick_Reus was flying scout and interference while the other two make a clear break for Liberty. I stopped them dead cold. Yet they both managed to evade me by overriding the docking ports on the Ship Yard. Yea, Bobbynatorlanded amidst gunfire.
Just before leaving Hamburg, I caught Llama's_Luck hauling Hazmat things to Bering. Now I'm all for cleaning up trash but this guy stated he was doing this for someone. I gave him alternatives which he seemed to go for but then he tried to pull a talk and walk manuver. Didn't work. I opened fire on him at once, using about half my CDs to keep him from getting away. He didnt make it and was destroyed. Finally, I was able to contact a Kruger transport who was able to haul the Hazmat containers to Kusari space. See? I can't follow through after all.
Still have a few traders trying to break through with Military vehicles with no registration. Sometimes I really wonder. It also doesn't help that they try to stall and make excused when I'm just trying to be polite. The military vehicles seemed to be heading to Kusari space. I gave them the option to release the cargo but they wanted to bribe me. When they go that road, it's pretty much over. The transport was destroyed but with no Rheinland transport to be contacted, the cargo was destroyed.
