ORIGIN:Fort Bush, NY System COMM ID:Valencia, Carina [RO] RE:Patrol Report ENCRYPTION:Low PRIORITY:Low
Valencia reporting on return from first patrol.
Flew fighter screen for Officer Michael Rivers, chasing long-range signatures of known criminal traffic. Patrol began at Manhattan orbit, headed out to Colorado system. Scavengers at the other side of the gate scattered on our arrival, no arrests or engagement as per orders due to higher priority of our intended target.
Pursued scanner signatures through Ontario and down to California. Civvy comm traffic and SOS signals warned of a Rheinlander warship well within Liberty space just at the jump gate, so after radioing for naval support we investigated as it was on our patrol route anyway. Damned if I know what the Kraut was doing there, but it didn't stick around to let us get too close.
Swept through California and back to New York, then through Colorado again. Little puta was apparently running us in circles. Rivers can give the details, but I can't say I ever caught sight of whatever he had us chasing after.
The Navy handled the warship, I guess. Our beat was over before I really saw any heat. Touched down at Fort Bush at 21:42 local time. Maybe next time I'll get a chance to bust some heads.
