To the Admiralty and High Command,
I have personally elected to acquire a bomber due to the high number of Capital ships I've spotted in patrols. Unfortunately for me, I spotted a Pirate Freighter in Texas. Figuring I could at least use this shuttle as a distraction to let a few ships pass through, I engaged it long enough that a few transports could get pass the Pirate. Hopefully, none of them were embargo breakers... My shuttle could barely take a hit, though, and I had to eject, my pod making its way to planet Denver.
Taking a few hours to gear, equip and outfit my bomber, I then went on a patrol schedule, during which I met a bunch of LSF agents], who swiftly tried to hush me away and get me to leave the scene. I decided to not overstay my welcome, despite the potential embargo breakers that were in the independent worlds. I hope they weren't trying to start anything.
Returning to the Capital, I stepped away from my cockpit for a few moments to fix an issue with the oxygen pressure, which wasn't properly calibrated. While this happened, I was apparently contacted by the Liberty Security Force, and Graham, who I wasn't aware was even on patrol, was shot down. Commander Morse joined me, and we swept through Pennsylvania, where the bandit was apparently hiding, but we never found him.
We ended up meeting Agent Tracer of the LSF, who I offered to join up with on an embargo enforcement mission to get the ropes of the job, as Commander Morse was ending his shift anyway. Sitting in Texas, the agent and I idly chatted, though he was mostly secretive and strict. After nearly an hour of sitting still like this, we finally caught a Freelancer attempting to export Synth Gel to Rheinland. All of our calls remained unanswered, so we attempted to scrap his vessel. Unfortunately for us, he vanished without a trace all of a sudden, with no evidence of his deed. Not even the LSF could track him down, so we called off the chase and ended our Embargo shift.
Condensed report:
-Delayed a pirate long enough to allow transports free passage, shuttle lost during combat.
-Acquired Havoc MK II Civilian bomber. I prefer the extra agility and extra bit of hull this offers over the Upholder.
-Graham's ship was lost to an unknown target. Commander Morse and I failed to find target in Pennsyvlania.
-Assisted Agent Tracer of the LSF in Embargo shift, one smuggler was intercepted but managed to "disappear".
