Yesterday, while I was patroling around California with the LPI, we found a rogue vessel called Polar, previously to that I had have a call from a Gateway transport about a rogue pirating between planet Mojave and the New York jump gate, his name was Polar.
After helping the LPI to destroy an outcasts destroyer, I proceeded to investigate about this pirate.
Helped by the LPI we took his ship to Riverside station, the LPI provided me with a private room, and I and Polar got a little chat, and he asked my questions. C: "Where were you an hour ago?" P: "Probably at the same spot you found me" C: "Who was there with you?" P: "I was all alone... different people come and go... trade lanes are bussy there" C: "I got informed there was a rogue gunboat about that time, around that place" P: "I don't know him, I cannot recall... he came somewhat out of nowhere" C: "We need all you can remember, it's gonna help you in the process" P: "I would like to talk to the captain of the gateway vessel" C: "We are talking with him, you don't need to do it" P: "I would like to have him here to look me in the face and say that I pirated him" C: "And let you intimidate him again? No sir... explain me with details, what happened with the gateway transport" P: "He was passing by. I kindly asked him to power down his engines, he did it, no force was used, and I gave him a deal, it includes: share of profits... a little share, and I will do my best to protect him from pirates. I was doing it all day long, and there are people that can confirm that, my clients are very happy with me... they actually gave me a bonus.... will you call this piracy as well?" C: "Perfectly, it's piracy indeed... taking money from traders by force or intimidation"
The interrogation was long, also we got one of his "clients", who payed him just because a friend told him to do it, that he protected him from another pirates. When I asked about that friend, I got a name Capitan Futuro, I will need to talk with him about how did he meet this rogue, and what happened then.
Until find this Capitan Futuro, I suggest to keep this pilot into custody of the LPI in the riverside station.
However, this decision is up to Lieutenant Commanders Galen Anderson, he continued with this case after I got off duty.
