So. Now I've just done a patrol of the Illinois, Colorado, New York, Texas and Pennsylvania systems.
I started out in the Illinois system at Springfield Station in my Liberator, and headed off for Police Plaza.
Here I dropped off some prisoners from the earlier patrol, resupplied my Liberator and headed off for Attica,
just to try my luck and check if I still knew the route in; I haven't been there in months. After a couple of
attempts, however, I started to remember and took all the right turns, and finally arrived at Attica.
After ferrying some new high-risk prisoners from Police Plaza to Attica, I undocked, only to receive a message
from the Sirius Meteorological Service that there was an incoming Ion Storm and that I was advised to dock
and head to the bar. I, of course, didn't risk my chances outside in the Ion Storm, something I've tried
before with rather mixed results, so I gladly complied with his advice and headed for the bar on Attica and had
a chat with some of the police officers who were on guard duty there.
After it had all blown over I headed out and off to the jump hole to Colorado, straight to Denver and then off
to the New York jump gate, noting nothing of interest in the Colorado system. In New York things weren't
anymore exciting either; I openly asked if anyone needed help over the open systems communications
channel. Receiving no responses, I headed off out-system to Texas, were I sat outside Houston for ten
minutes or so, waiting to see any embargo breakers or the odd Rheinlander would appear.
Nothing. I plotted the course for Philadelphia System in Pennsylvania, did the standard loop there
(Philly -> Erie -> Philly -> Bethlehem -> Philly), docked, dropped off some Rogue, Xeno and Hacker pilots
which I had picked up on the way and ended my patrol, satisfied with a days' good work.
