From: Recruit Officer Bethany Shaw To: One Police Plaza Subj: Patrol Log #1
Shaw here, reporting numerous violations.
My shift began early in the morning, the hope of catching those late night smugglers on my mind. Reading the Net, lanes picked up a small 'Sunburst'-class freighter. Nothing too special, except the two marked Xeno weapons the fella was carrying. What began as a simple requestfor transfer soon turned into outright neglect, and after what seemed like forever, force became necessary.
Not long after, the lanes again picked up another contact, or rather two of them. From the Pennsylvania gate came two vessels, one a 'Dorado'-class Orbital ferry mindlessly carrying a small amount of unregistered light arms, and the other a more significant 'Hurricane'-class Coalition Battlecruiser. In the time it had taken me to quickly acquire the arms, contact was lost with the warship, but not before a full scan could be made of the ship's armament and integrity. Contact was soon reestablished in orbit of Planet Manhattan, however, and with the enlisted aid of a Bounty Hunter Guild bomber the warship was harassed up to the Junker installation at Rochester.
Finally, after a calm had been found after that, the net picked up a final vessel, and after a close up scan in Manhattan orbit revealed itself to be an IMG Shishapangma hauling a metric fridge-ton of unauthorized alien relics. A demand for the cargo was made, and a fine put in place. However, instead of honorably paying for his wrongs, the captain had the stones to drive his ship into the Manhattan atmospheric zone, likely killing him instantly. A shame, and a bad way to go, but that's another smuggler we won't have to worry about.
That is all. Until next time.
Signed, Recruit Officer Bethany Shaw, New York Precinct.
