I went on traffic patrol today and encountered several law-abiding transports. I met one named "Forgotte_Soilder" outside of Manhatten and he was clear and headed to Planet Pitsburg as I was heading to Ft. Bush. After a little time, this transport came up on my scanners again, and I initiated a cargo scan, as I realized that the Captain had dropped out of the lane early to avoid being contacted. He complied and stopped with Black Market Munitions in his hold. I ordered him to stop and to immediately turn around and return these goods where he got them. After an attempted bribe by the captain, I proceeded to escort him back to Detroit Munitions and observed as he returned the goods. In the logs, you will also find transmissions from a vessel named "Pride.of.Euskadi who seemed to follow me around like a lost puppy. Upon further review he was an outcast, that was on the hunt for Transports. As I approached his ship he kept flying away. It seemed his bark was worse than his bite, as I believe he fled to Rochester Base. I cannot confirm this, that was just the direction he was heading. I did not fine the transport as he eventually complied, even with his bribe offer.
Other than this, nothing else happened on my patrol, other than a dirty remark from a Forlorn member, which I believe our Chief will be taking care of.
