Today was very eventful. I made a quick stop at Sunbucks before starting my patrol, and went down the lane from Adirondack to Manhattan, where the lane had been disrupted. There was a Rogue destroyer, a hacker gunboat, and another bomber there on the lane who proceeded to threaten my life. They seemed to think they had a chance against a liberator? silly pirates. I called in the SWAT team and officer Tanner was the first to respond. 5th fleet and patrolling capitals arrived shortly after as well and the pirate fleet was annihilated swiftly.
Minutes later, I picked up ANOTHER rogue destroyer on TLAGSNET in California and we went to investigate. Sure enough there it was in broad daylight. Where do these things even come from? This time however he surrendered and we escorted him to Sugarland. However upon reaching planet houston, two Ageria tagged large trains opened fire on the destroyer causing him to panic and attempt to flee. He got as far as the Bering gate before we took him out. I was able to collect the pods of 20 of his crew as well as his cargo of synthetic marijuana and delivered them and the contraband to huntsville.
Afterward we tried to track down those two trains that botched the whole operation. I caught up to one in California but when I ordered him to stop, he fled into Magellan. I managed to hit him with a SNAC from my swat bomber before he got away, but i thought we had lost him. Then him and his friend, as well as a third transport showed up AGAIN in texas, where myself and other officers intercepted them mid cruise near planet Chisos. They had no where to run this time. We explained their crimes and demanded a fine, but they only responded with insults and threats, while one of them fled. All 3 of them had their ships destroyed and they are now serving time on LPI-Sugarland. Their cargo of Whiskey was confiscated and moved to an evidence locker on planet Houston by a 5th fleet bison transport.
the docking control protocol was used several times during this patrol, specifically when the trains in question were within range of planet Houston and ignoring all communication from us. It has proven extremely effective, and previously "mute" transports are being forced to speak up.
