Sender: Officer John Smith Date: 02/05/818 Subject: Patrol report 3
My first day as freshly promoted Officer started with a pretty quiet system. There was an Ion storm coming, so everyone probably stayed at home. I nevertheless decided to do a small patrol around NY. I was about to head back to Fort Bush to sit out the Ion storm, when I encountered Kurt_Arkanis. Something felt weird, so I decided to do a regular cargo scan. It appeared my gut was right. His whole cargo bay was filled with Artifacts.
I immediately ordered him to stop, which, fortunate for him, he did. He denied knowing about the illegal state of artifacts. Then... suddenly.. he contacted me on my personal comm channel. I knew he was going to try it, but it still came quite unexpected. He tried to buy me off. Fool.
After this nonsense I ordered him to drop the artifacts right away, and pay a fine of 1.5 million credits for transporting illegal goods and attempt for bribing a LPI officer.
The Ion storm was close, so I was afraid I would escape into the storm. Then he finally dropped the artifacts, which got a nice blast of my Vengance mk V, and paid me the 1.5 million fine. The Ion storm was coming way to soon, so I hurried to Fort Bush for a nice Donut Lunch.
