From: Officer Paul Morgan To: One Police Plaza Subj: Patrol log
Reporting patrol in New York and Colorado systems, 10 February 825.
I left Fort Bush at around 4am Standard Time and followed a patrol protocol to Planet Manhattan, then along the edge of Jersey Debris Field towards Colorado Jump Gate looking for potential smugglers. On approach to Colorado gate, I spotted a Rogue Werewolf bomber. The Rogue run towards Rochester Base in Jersey Field and eventually docked with the base, despite my demands to cut his engines.
On my route back to Manhattan, I spotted freelancer Bustard Carrier with THP markings, callsign THP|"Legal".Commerce, hauling a load of Cardamine towards Manhattan. Before I could stop the offending ship, it went on planet fall course and disappeared in the atmosphere. Later, I met the same vessel accompanied by 6th|Alpha-3. The Navy pilot claimed that the cardamine in question was actually confiscated by him before and he hired THP vessel to transport it back to Manhattan as an evidence.
Then I moved on to Colorado system and there encountered a Rogue destroyer and Outcast VHF harassing traders at the jump gate. They threatened to destroy the vessel they were trying to pirate, so I could not wait for reinforcements and engaged. Being outnumbered and outgunned, I lost the ship and cannot tell if the trader was able to escape.
Signed, Officer Paul Morgan, Patrol Unit, Denver Precinct.
