I had spent the night at Leeds. This morning, I woke up for a patrol and found a Hellfire Legion scimitar sitting next to BMM-Kent. I asked the miner if this legionnaire was bothering him. The answer was no, he just wanted directions into the Taus. I escorted him past Stokes and into Tau-31.
I picked up a report of a Molly gunboat fighting a Gaian gunship in the Dublin system. Just to make sure the BMM in the system were alright, I went to check it out. The molly won and then fled the scene, so I informed the miners that it was safe to return to the fields. I somehow ended up escorting them so no more mollys showed up. BMM-Kent sent me quite a generous donation.
I started off my patrol at P.Leeds, where I found a trader carrying weaponry without a license. He took the lane to Stokes and I followed. There, I called for him to stop, so he docked at the Exile battleship. I waited there untill he undocked. When confronting him again, he docks upon Stokes station. With the help of a judge and and bounty hunter, I was able to arrest him as he undocked from Stokes.
During this time, a IMG Hegemon full of silver came into range. He proceeded past me to break the Tau Blockade. After informing him that he could buy a license to proceed freely for a 6-month period, he happily bought one. I then let him proceed into Tau-31.
At this point I was ready to return to New London. When exiting the Leeds-New London gate, I noticed a freelancer and a pirate freighter in combat. Both stopped at my arrival. Then, the freelancer informed me that this pirate had murdered a few passing traders. He admitted to it and so I was forced to arrest him.
This freelancer did aid me in the arrest, so I rewarded him with a few million credits to keep the good deeds coming. Thank you, freelancer, for your sacrifice to the crown.
Gentlemen; I have returned! I'll save the amazing story of my capture, adventures, and escape for those who are interested down in Christies, and for now just relate the events since I got back in the cockpit of a BPA ship!
It wasn't a quiet return, by any means, no sooner had I taken off from planet leeds than I spotted an unlicensed colonial cruiser named "graveyard" hanging around, after telling him off, ANOTHER zoner cruiser named Bohemian_Drifter flew past, I gave chase, but was distracted by a corsair gunboat named Koromo_Anai which I destroyed. The corsair however didnt take the hint, and returned to Leeds, so a BAF and I were forced to destroy it again! Honestly where do they keep getting new ships?
Ahhhh... It's good to be back.

I picked up a Junker named Ramble.On Id met in New Berlin on the way back from escorting the convoy with Marijuana, but since he only had small quantities, I told him that as long as it was for personal use it should be alright. Then I sold him a Tau Trade License for his Silver Ore Business.
I Killed an entire [M]olly mining op by myself earlier, but thats not even the important part! The important part is that they seemed to be working with Cryer|!
I expect we will have to contact Cryer| for further investigation of the 2 counts of 4.2 - Assisting Hostile Forces - supplying, and buying, and 1 count of resisting arrest.
