And hello again.
Made a third patrol today with the background thought of escorting Interspace Commerce and one of their business partners but before this I caught a Junker with samples of illegal goods in his cargo hold as well as two of our Goods Transporting Permits. Sadly they were obviously forged ones nor was there any entry for the ship "Junky-1" in the database about the permits.
The Junker was very cooperative and without issues paid a fine of three million and handed me the samples as well as the forged papers over. I adviced him to consider acquiring new permits from us directly and he seemed to be pretty interested.
Afterwards Interspace Commerce started their flight to Kusari, I escorted them up to the Rio Grande in Colorado and waited then at the Colorado Jumpgate in the Kepler system for them to return together with their business partner. The escort was surprisingly calm and we all made it safely back to Newark without any interruptions. That's what I call luck.
Anyways, after taking a picture I received the payment for the escort, half of the money has been transfered to the Treasury.
