'Tag
Today I went patrol with my brand new Falcon class heavy fighter.
When I launched from New Berlin, I detected ALG transport coming from Sigma-13 JH, I asked few questions, and he told me Bundschuh active is increased in Frankfurt.
After that TLAG told me that RHA ship is using trade lane network, I think trade lanes should be locked like docking rings, I headed towards location and in-middle of trade lane heading towards Brandenburg, I saw him, we both cutted out from trade lane and we had little talk, he didn't want come to Vierlande, so I told him to prepare escape pod, and then I opened fire, fight was not too long, and I won it, and I took his escape pod and bringed it to Vierlande.

Guten Tag
Today I was patrol with Mister Artura and Steiner.
I started from Planet New Berlin and instantly TLAG alerted me for Junker Transport with illegal weaponry, I asked pilot of ship to stop at Manheimn and he stopped, I told him about law and asked little fine for it, pilot told me he never heard about law, I didnt really believe that, then he asked where he can find law, I told its digital version is uploaded to Neutral Net, I dont know what took he so long, so I shot few warning shots to his hull and he started to shoot me and I returned fire, fight wasn't very long because when Artura came, pilot stopped shooting me, we told him multiple times that he need pay fine, give weaphons or let us to arrest he, I dont why it was so hard to understand, but finally he paid fine to Artura's account.
After that I stopped to Maiz for resupplying, and then headed to Fulda where we RVed with Steiner, we headed to Sigma-13 because there was some interesting activity.
We headed to Helgoland and continued to Naha, in middle of lane we detected Contacts, when at Naha, we turned and headed back, we found 1x Zoner Carrier and 1x Liberty Battlecruiser, I have no idea what they did there but Ionstrom was coming so we headed to Helgoland and docked.

*Laura´s arm appears on the screen, judging from some muffled machinery sound she is probably in a spaceship. Only her undertone voice somewhere around camera can be heard*
Dammit...why I have to do this...bloody hope this is right frequency...okay...
*her head appears in front of the screen*
Guten tag, secondary junior transport pilot Laura Carsten from Polizei Transport and Logicstic unit, personal number SP8048. Per request of Oberst Thomas Wolthers, I´m sending a report of yesterday´s duty, this time apart from my commanding officer also to primary unit´s frequency.
So, my shift started at Vierlande prison, where I finished yesterday´s Hamburg system supply run. I took off with load of 206 released criminals, which were to deliver to planets New Berlin, Stuttgart and Baden Baden. Flight to New Berlin was without problems, just two NPC class Hessian fighters appeared but after short time gave up attempt to attack the ship. On New Berlin, I unloaded 80 criminals and loaded aboard Ragnar supplies...
*other male voice interrupted the speech*
Hey, what you mean you, you were just sitting in cocpit, I did all the work in the dock!
*Laura looks away from camera and makes "you are annoyingly talking too much" gesture with hand*
Ga, ga, ga! Silence, Helmuth, I´m recording a report, get of my back with unimportant details.
*Laura looks back to camera*
Sorry for that. Where was I...ja, I loaded aboard Ragnar supplies for Ulm and Konstanz border stations...
*Laura takes a list in hand and starts to read*
...200 cargo units of food rations, 20 CU of gin, 10 CU of luxury food, 30 CU of oxygen, 5 CU of pharmaceuticals, 100 CU of rheinbier, 50 CU of tobacco and 30 CU of water.
First stop was planet Stuttgart, the flight to the destination was interrupted only by single LWB NPC class fighter which our very well armed ship destroyed and loaded pilot´s escape pod. In front of Stuttgart, I met Oberst Wolthers and during our talk, BWT named JohnSilver arrived. The ship was loaded with small amount of alcohol of different types, but mainly almost all cargo capacity was filled with nuclear devices. After Oberst´s question, pilot declared he is heading to Freiburg. Because of possible suspicious nature of this transport, Oberst Wolthers decided to escort the ship and I was allo...nah, directly ordered to assist, what I did.
At Freiburg, cargo was handed over and we all returned to Stuttgart. Pilot of JohnSilver seemed to be a some rookie which was asking us about where he can buy blue diamonds and blue jillies and after that what actually jillies are. Ah, those men... Then he loaded his BWT with passangers. Honestly, I think passangers transport regulations should forbid this.
Anyway, because potentially suspicious situation was solved, Oberst left the place. Captain of JohnSilver declared waiting for his friend, which appeard shortly after with ship loaded with cigars and then both went towards Freiburg and Omegas.
I returned to my original flight plan and unloaded 116 criminals on Stuttgart, then 100 CU of food rations, 10 CU of gin, 4 CU of luxury food, 15 CU of oxygen, 2 CU of pharmaceuticals, 50 CU of rheinbier, 25 CU of tobacco and 15 CU of water on Ulm. We also had to throw away 2 CU of luxury food because - and I´m saying this for maybe tenth time - Ragnar´s refrigerator unit which is barely refrigenerating is not made for transporting such a sensitive cargo.
Anyway, I picked up there 2 criminals for Vierlande and headed to Konstanz without any problems. There I unloaded rest of supplies and finished the shift with unloading 13 criminals on Baden Baden. That is all, I think you don´t need any guncams evidence.
Side note - I mentioned some smugglers during talk with Oberst. As we all know that TLAGSNET record is not enough evidence for the trial, I can only mention names of the ships because I was too far away in Hamburg, respectively Stuttgart, to do anything. And moreover, I´m - oficially - not authorized to make anti smugglers actions systems away from my duty and I saw them on TLAGSNET only accidentally. But members of patrols should keep an eye on the ships Nadd, which carried black market munitions smuggling it probably to Liberty through Hamburg while I was in Stuttgart, and ALLshabi with Steve_Sogou, which came from Dresden to New Berlin with artifacts and on the way back carried black market munitions.
This is really all I hope. Now please excuse me...
*Laura smiles broadly before turning camera off*
...I´m going to beach, there is some warm sea to swim. Carsten signing off!

Guten Tag...
Earlier today I started my patrol from planet Hamburg. Righ away I picked up a suspicious ship on my TLAG in New Berlin. I proceeded there and caught him not far from the jump gate. The vessel tried to enter Braunschweig but was chased away by the military patrols. I ordered him to stop and scanned his ship. It was a kusarian Bumbelbee class freighter with freelancer papers. His cargo hold was full of experimental weaponry, some sort of nomad hybrid weapons. I ordered him to drop it all right away, but he disobeyed saying how he has enough to arm six eagles and tried to escape. I opened fire and after a brief fight the ship was destroyed. I confiscated all the weapons not destroyed by the explosion and delivered them to New Berlin. I will contact the BDM in order to turn the guns over to them....The rest of my patrol went uneventfull....

Detective Steiner,
those guns will immediately transferred to the Arsenal for security reasons. We cannot allow such dangerous weapons on any of our ships and risk the loss to enemies of Rheinland. The Bureau of the Marinenachrichtendienst will be informed by me. Stay ready in case they have questions for you.
Moreover your report is hereby given higher security level.

*Laura walks on the street, looking away at the beginning of the transmission which she started without checking the settings, sending again copy of message unconsciously to primary frequency too*
Just give me a minute... Ja, I have to do this now, don´t blame me...
*she looks to the screen*
Guten tag, pilot Carsten here, I have something to report, herr commanding officer Schwarz. During my supply run in Hamburg system to Vierlande prison, I found there around 2K from it a ship, freelancer IDed Humpback with callsign Jillian loaded with passangers. The ship was floating without any activity, what I considered suspicious, especially here, so I tried to contact it and scanned it.
Pilot stayed silenced for quite long time but just before I called the emergency response unit, he started to speak, claiming to "test new guns here". More importantly, I found that he has one Firekiss turret mounted on his ship.
On my question who and where sold him a military property, he answered that "weapon dealer aboard Vierlande" whose named he don´t know. I think this should be investigated, it is quite disturbing if somebody from Vierlande is really selling high powered guns to random freelancers.
According to law, I asked pilot to hand over the illegal weaponry back to Vierlande what he did, claiming it "blow his systems anyway". After that he undocked and I checked his ship again. Because there wasn´t any other violation, after urging him to read Rheinland laws again to prevent situation like this will happen again, I let him go. Complete evidence is in the data attachment.
Also, one more thing...during the preventive system check before leaving Stuttgart´s orbit earlier that day, I also activated TLAGSNET just for a short time and completely accidentally just because of this check, spotted again the black market munitions smuggler going through Hamburg. I contacted Hamburg quick response unit, but unfortunately he slipped through probably towards Liberty again. Evidence is in the data attachment as well.

*Laura appears on the screen, sitting in empty police pilots office with a beer on the side of the table, this time sending the message to primary unit´s channel intentionally*
Guten tag, secondary junior transport pilot Laura Carsten from Polizei Transport and Logistic unit, personal number SP8048. I´m sending you report about today´s...
*looks at watches*
...nah, yesterday´s event, to be accurate. And some older events too. It is probably time to clean my table from all this paperwork. Uff...well, let´s start, this will be little longer probably, but I´m in overtime already anyway.
So, yesterday I undocked from planet New Berlin to make supply run to Stuttgart system, but I met outside the planet Oberst Wolthers. He was in that moment questioning freelancer IDed vessel there, loaded with silver. After pilot answered that he is on the way to Kusari, Oberst asked me to escort the vessel to Sigma-13, what we then did together. Then we returned to New Berlin system because there were reports about possible Hessian ship around.
Because we couldn´t confirm it, we made escort for Daumann asteroid miner with ore, which we met at Stuttgart jump gate, to Oder shipyard. After that, we got distress call from BDM|Kmo-Herman.Voss, which was under attack of mentioned Hessian ship - Odin named Dominik.Autenburg - near Essen. We quickly went there and joined the fight. After short moment, we were able to take enemy´s shield down and damage his ship and then I destroyed it. Well, my completely first victory actually. After that, BDM officer flew for repairs to New Berlin.
But busy day still wasn´t over. Oberst Wolthers noticed a ship with Nomad remains onboard via TLAGSNET. We split up, made short pursue and I got the ship on scanner near Brandenburg. It appeared it is AI cruiser with some AI IDentification, callsign Desepticon. He...or it, I don´t know what is correct, tried to escape but thanks to the speed of my Ragnar, I catched him shortly after. He didn´t obey calls to stop so I disrupted his cruise engines. It started to be disrespectful, refused to hand over the nomad materials, threatened us and then claimed he has permission to enter Rheinland from gallic king. I think this says everything about sanity of this machine.
Anyway, just in moment when we were thinking what to do because we didn´t have firepower to take down cruiser with Oberst, Hessian bomber named Angela.Merkel appeared there. Oberst ordered me to get out with my Ragnar and just after bomber tried to catch me, but I was faster. Then their fight started and I decided to stay not far away to give support if it will be possible. But shortly after that, AI cruiser without any warning and any reason fired on Oberst´s ship and destroyed it within few seconds. Fortunately I was close enough to quickly tractor his escape pod into my ship and then ran away from hostile superiority to Bonn station where medical personnel took him to treatment. Uploading evidence now...
So, this is report for what happened few hours ago. But there is also one older report which I...eh, didn´t have time to make. Few days ago during supply run to Frankfurt, I caught a ship exiting Westerwald nebula. It was freelancer IDed Firefly named Sea_Wasp. We didn´t meet for first time, I met him that day few hours before in front of New Berlin with load of that Synth´s garbage called paste. He planned to go to planet Erie in Liberty through blockade so I told him that this is not going to happen and his only choice is to go to Kusari with this load what he accepted.
But as I said, later I caught him leaving Westerwald. He claimed "searching jump hole to Berlin" there. After quite long discussion about fine which I ordered him to pay - he was refusing 500 000 credits and wanted half of that, what a gannet, I think that fine I issued was actually very low - but he finally paid. I questioned him about who told him about any jump hole in Westerwald, but he said he found it himself. I think this ship and person should be added to suspicious persons list and monitored within Rheinland. Money from fine was handed over to my commanding officer after I finished my duty and returned to New Berlin. Uploading evidence about this situation.
But speaking about Westerwald...damn, there is one more event. I don´t know if Oberst Wolthers already reported this, but few days ago he asked me during my Frankfurt supply run to assist him in searching of unregistered barge, which was reported. Shortly after, he found it in Westerwald and asked me for assistance. It was barge of Zoners named [V]-Jotunheimr with no cargo. Captain claimed "just looking for new routes". And he even confessed that he "entered Frankfurt before and no one noticed that". Later it showed up he even doesn´t know registration rules for barges in Rheinland. Then Oberst issued ban for this vessel and we escorted him to Sigma-13 jump hole which captain wanted to use as shortest way out of Rheinland, despite I really doubt it is safe with such a huge vessel.
Anyway, we had some problems with ion storm, few swarms of NPC class Unioner ships and then captain proved to be really incapable to fly this ship as he failed multiple times during trying to use jump hole. But he finally jumped out and I as well as Oberst could return to our normal duties. By the way, during defending ourself against attack of NPC class Hessian and Unioners fighters, I somehow managed to tractor from their wrecks quite big amount of black market munitions, which I later handed over on New Berlin to Anti-Smuggling Department. Oh, and on the way there, I met a Hessian cruiser named RHC-Mjolnir - what a cover name, right? - near Mannheim. He tried to attack me but because I couldn´t do anything in Ragnar, I called for reinforcements and continued my way to New Berlin. Uploading complete evidence about all I mentioned...
So that is probably...damn, no it isn´t all. Speaking about Hessian cruisers, I don´t know again if Oberst Wolthers already reported this or not, but few days ago we met in New Berlin and he was chasing Hessian cruiser named Brunnebuzzer, commanding RFP cruiser Chemnitz in that time, and asked for help. Also detektiv Steiner later joined the effort and secondary military officer with ship named Sir_Vivor as well. The Hessian ship was equipped with cloaking device what made our effort quite difficult. Oberst ordered me to patrol around Kreuzberg depot and I found him there. I don´t know if he undocked from that damned Junkers nest, or only decloacked there, because I was 12K away in that moment. But he confessed that he "used their toiletz". I don´t know if this counts, that is up to you. Unfortunately I couldn´t do anything with my Ragnar against cruiser and before Chemnitz arrived, he cloaked again. Then we had to interrupt the search because very strong ion storm arrived to system. You have evidence of the situation here...
Uff...okay, maybe I should mention what happened after. To finalize reports...despite I don´t know if it´s necessary to mention this event, when my Ragnar was heavily damaged, again. But whatever... It happened after search for Hessian Cruiser. Me, Oberst Wolthers which arrived in Ragnar too, and detektiv Steiner found a group of three VWA ships - Erich.Klugmann, Aksel.Goldstein and Benedikt.Siegel - near Oder shipyard. There was not much time to scan but I´m sure one of them was in Wraith. Anyway, after short talk when they refused to hand over captured military pilots, the fight began. I got under heavy fire and Oberst ordered me to leave, but they concentrated fire on me so I didn´t made it to safe dock and had to eject. No need to repeat I don´t have proper combat training and I´m in secondary transport unit, ja? Anyway, other polizei ships were heavily damaged too, fortunately all our pods were tractored by Oder personnel. Confirmation here...

Guten Tag
Time has passed since the last time I wrote a report, but now I have something to report.
Today when I was going to Holstein from Munich Jump Gate I picked up neutral ship in my scanner, I cut trade lane and headed to target, it was Liberty Assault Battlecruiser, I don't have any idea what he did there. I landed on Holstein and I took Fafnir and rushed to asteroid field, ship was leaving field but I got him, I asked him to drop his prisoners and his shield, he refused, so I started taking him down, alone it was pretty hard, but when he was almost down he activated cloaking device and disappeared, after that I headed back to Holstein.

Oberst Wolthers reporting in.
it seems like yesterday made Rheinland one of the most dangerous places in Sirius. Hier are the following incident that happend during mein patrol yesterday.
Black Market Munitions smuggling
A freelancer thought he could make some profit by smuggling illegal munition crates through Rheinland. Nun ja, I taught him otherwise. The cargo was confiscated. ***
Junker Congress ship smuggling
TLAG sensors showed ein ship full of gaian wildlife heading from Frankfurt to New Berlin. As it seemed to be heavily armored, I had to order the SEK Bergelmirs 01 and 02 to take care of it. The Congress-man denied to drop the cargo, so the SEK men had to destroy the vessel. ***
Embargo breaker pinned down
While testing out the RT.07 in Hamburg, another freelancer was interrogated by Kadett Carsten and Detective Steiner. During the interrogation, they freelancer ship failed to obey our order to stop his ships' engines. As the pilot even started to shoot at us while flying to the now inactive Hudson jumpgate, we had to destroy the transport. ***
Wilde incursion in New Berlin
Detective Steiner, Kadett Carsten and me stumbled upon an unknown Sabre with nomad technoloy. We tried to confiscate the weapons which the pilot denied. A fight started during that another unknown Wraith fighter with nomad technology showed up, assisting the Sabre. We assumed they belonged to das Wilde.
Steiner was not lucky and he had to eject from his light fighter. The two Wilde ships were able to flee as both Carsten's and mine fighter were severly damaged.
I would also like to comment, that during that fight two Bundschuh showed up that were only too eager to assist the Wilde in return for nomad technology. Another Bundschuh from the Vereinigte Widerstandsarmee showed up to reason them again. I don't know what this is all about, but perhaps the splinter groups with in the Bundschuh are struggling for control within their organisation. **
Anyway, I count meinself lucky to get out of these situations alive. The used ships are currently in repairs again and should be ready by now.
Signing off again.
