COMM ID:LT CMNDR RAVEN, Catherine SUBJECT:PATROL REPORT JANUARY - 15 - 822 A.S. TARGET ID:ADMIRALITY & HIGH COMMAND ENCRYPTION:MEDIUM PRIORITY:MEDIUM
It's been a while since I've tended to paperwork, but I ought to let you ladies and gents know about these certain characters.
Involved pilots were Admiral Teerin, Vice Admiral Morse on the Lansing and myself. We were running a standard patrol around the New York system, as we encountered two suspicious characters. Smuggler's.Dream, a Renzu freighter-type trading vessel and Cid.Trippin, an Ahoudori gunboat-class exploration vessel. Captains of said ships are unknown, both were roaming around Planet Manhatten and seemingly daunted by me following them.
The captain of Cid.Trippin surprisingly ditched the Ahoudori for a Renzu freighter as well. I'm not sure why, but it only adds to the suspicion of them being shady characters. Apart from their vessels names, both acted somewhat nervous. I've decided to tail them further, resulting in the Cid.Trippin to stick behind. I was only following the Smuggler's.Dream at this point, which made its way through the California system and into Magellan, where I accompanied it to Freeport 4.
Having arrived at Freeport 4, he was obviously waiting for his friend to show up, which didn't take longer than a few minutes at most. As soon as the Cid.Trippin arrived, they both headed down the lane leading to the Manchester system. While doing so, Cid.Trippin dropped a nuclear mine, perhaps as an attempt to cut the lane behind him. The mine however detonated on contact with my shield, which perhaps saved my guts in this moment. He apologized his so called "accident" in a overly cocky fashion. In fact, let me just upload the logs of the incident.

Not sure what held me back, but I kept him alive after that. I suppose I'm getting old.
