Quite a bit happened today. So far atleast. As soon as my shift started, I met up with the LNS Brookstone, who was in fact in the middle of a massive engagement between hacker forces. In the end of the say, all enemy Lane Hackers were destroyed.
After the short battle, I went over to Texas to continue embargo duty. Not much happened. An agiera ship was transporting High Temperature Alloys, which I believe possibly would've come from Rhienland. He told me that Agiera and other Liberty companies are allowed to import, not export, and that he dealt with this yesterday with Police Chief Matt Myers himself and that the Police Chief lethim go, so I let him go as well. There was also a junker who brought in 1 unit of Light Arms that I met in Houston. I made sure he didn't go into the hudson or Bering system (which would've been illegal), instead he went back to NY (which was Legal).
After that, I met up with [LN] Rachel Baker. We patrolled around looking for a xeno. When we found him, he ran for it, and we could'nt really catch up. [LN] Rachel Baker asked the Xeno if he would like to help with taking out an outcast gunship which was spotted in NY. the Xeno promptly refused, and we went our seperate ways. We went to the Pennsylvania gate and found a whole load of debris there, possibly caused by the outcast Gunship. At that point, Rachel Baker went into the badlands. Since LPI do not have jurisdiction in the Badlands, I decided to continue patrolling. Nothing else to report.
I pulled out an extra shift today, because well, I had nothing else to do. continued enforcing embargo laws on Texas. I met a few AgieraTech ships carrying gate/lane parts towards Rhienland and prevented them from doing so. They cooperated and turned back.
Another ship, Mining.Express was helping our war effort, and sent 400 Military Vehicles to the New Hampshire system I believe. I escorted him to the Minesota JH just to be sure
Sadly, I my guncam during these times was malfunctioning, and couldn't get evidence of this.
However, not everyone was cooperative. I would like to note that the ship [XXL]-Wi smuggled in Luxury consumer goods to Rhienland space.
I would also like to note, Twinkleboots successfully (and sadly) smuggled in 25 units of Synthetic Marijuana. [LN] Jack.Malrone did catch him, but only after he had sold all the illegal drugs. sadly, I wasn't able to get guncam footage of this since he got to the trade lane to fast. He did however, have an upholder bomber in his possesion. I let [LN] Jack.Malrone deal with that, since that's his jurisdiction.
Also, these [CRO] ships (in the link) should be noted, as they smuggled in Boron to Bering. I ordered them to drop their cargo, however the refused and promptly left. I couldn't do much with my Patriot, I don't even have enough firepower to stop a trade lane, so they escaped sadly.
Komunist should also be noted for smuggling in military vehicle's into hudson. He said he was taking them to New Hampshire, and I offered to escort him to the Minesota JH, he refused however, and escaped. I can only presume he was taking them to Rhienland due to his actions.
