From: Officer Sarah Walker To: One Police Plaza Subj: Patrol Log #6
Evening.
I started my shift at 16:00 from Forth Bush, New York System. After patrolling the New York, I've moved to Texas. I was half way thorough the system when TLAGSNET picked up something in California.
A ship just jumped in the system from Magellan System with a cargo full of Artifacts. I've rushed back in New York, hopping I will catch the smuggler before he reaches his destination.
I took the trade lanes toward Norfolk Shipyard and the scanner just pint pointed him near Riverside Station, by that time I was already near West Point, so I took the lanes to the California Jump Gate and waited for him to jump in.
It wasn't long and he was in my scanner range. Once scanned, it confirmed TLAGSNET readings. He was carrying a cargo full of Artifacts.
After questioning him about his destination and point of origin, I concluded that his target was Rochester Base, and from what he told me, his point of origin was Freeport 9. I would not trust him too much to be telling the truth, but it is worth opening a investigation on that subject.
He cooperated well enough to my demands, and that is to drop his cargo and to pay a fine. He didn't seem to know that Artifacts are illegal in Liberty. He did drop his cargo, but he didn't had any credits for the fine. Judging by his ship and how unskilled at smuggling is, I suspect he is new to the criminal life.
After he dropped the cargo in space, I made sure to destroy the cargo pods to make sure the Artifacts never reach their destination, and escorted him out of Liberty Space.
