Patrol started out pretty routine today. Made my way over to Puerto Rico made contact with Congress.
Encountered a super barge transport just inside assisting with a large scale scrap salvage operation from Texas. Several transports were convoying scrap mined in the highly radiated fields in Texas by Congress scrap mining ships. Was rather impressive to witness this operation in action seems this group is highly advanced in their salvage abilities. Not much else to see so I proceeded back into New York and landed on Adirondack for my shift break. After my break I went back to my office and was called by a confidential informant working for me on La Fortaleza in Puerto Rico..
He indicated that the Congress had just recently found a large convoy of smugglers attempting to move thru PR with contraband. La Fortaleza's weapon platforms managed to stop the convoy from entering Liberty from PR.
I'd just boarded my ship when dispatch patched a call into my radio from Congress command. The call was from the Arbiter of the Congress James Trenton that indicated he wanted to turn these items over to the LPI. I was surprised to say the least. He stated that this was an effort to keep to the agreement with the LPI. Good thing too because my informant had already relayed me the information about the contraband. I agreed to meet with the Congress convoy in PR and made my way there. Upon arrival I found several large transports all filled with artifacts. They then followed me as I escorted them to Adirondack station. I am happy to report that all artifacts are now safely stored and ready for disposal on Adirondack base! This was the largest contraband confiscated that I have ever seen. So I inquired as to who this smuggling group was. Turns out not only did they manage to secure the contraband they did secure several ejection pods. The pilots were alive but unconscious and were also being handed over for interrogation. All the suspects were sent to Adirondack medical and will be in for a rather nasty surprise when they wake up. Once they recover we will question them further.
Guncam evidence to follow..
