I am proud to announce that ship losses on this day are down 33 percent compared to yesterday.
A Cardamine smuggler by the name of [ATA]-Asgard.Suply.Inc. was intercepted thanks to my disrupting a trade lane (on purpose), the cardamine was destroyed, and a hansome fine collected by my superiors.
A slight dent on this success was that my Liberator suddenly exploded near Rochester, seconds after receiving the transmiision 'push off LPI' from a certain Monty McHacker, so I was not able to teach him a lesson in respect. I wonder if those mechanics on Manhattan know what they are doing when they get my Liberator ready, and wether all this exploding is really a coincidence.
Some time and annoying paperwork later, I was ready to start the next patrol with spirits high in my 6th liberator.
I came across an admirable group of people from a slave re-habilitation program, who were taking 2500 of these freedomly challenged individuals for a spin around Manhattan in the prison liner ZAS~Saviour. I was so impressed with their panache that I offered an escort to them, sending them safely northwards to rehabilitation-adventures unknown. The rehabilitating slaves were clearly thankful for my willing to spend time with them, as some of them frantically waved to me at the window, so I offered a friendly waved back.
Next, I agreed to do some scouting of rude intercom chatter for the LNS gunship Dawn and an associate, while they guarded West point station. Unfortunately, the chatter originated from a Rogue cruiser, who was rather polite to me personaly by commenting on my bravery in flying in his direction shortly before shooting me with cruise disruptors and missiles until my hull popped like a baloon.
I received a 7th Liberator with the responsible officer ready to skip some paperwork this time, but those incompetent mechanics refused to fill the fuel tank to more than 1/4 capacity, saying more would be a waste in resources.
As I launched, LPI Sergent Jack Bauer informed me that a smuggler 'GameHaze' had been spottet moving from Texas to California. We soon stopped the stragler, red-handed with 4700 slaves in his hold. A rather peculiar thing happened then. While Sergent Bauer was reading the criminal his rights (the right to choose between payin 4 million credits and freeing the slaves as one option, or being Keel-hauled under his Whale as another), the suspect... just disappeared in front of our eyes! I have kept my camera footage as evidence if this person is ever put on trial. Must be some sort of illegal cloaking technology.
All in all, I think Im begining to get the hang of this police work thing.
