What an excellent day today, I had the pleasure of serving with almost ten different Liberty Navy members. The first being Vice Admiral Valence Harper, congrats again my friend.
Onto news though, today began quite quietly. I did some work to apprehend a few smugglers, without any noteworthy confrontation. However after some time of patrolling the New York system, I was called to assist the apprehension of a smuggler by holding on the New York side of the NY->California gate. After some time of no word on the comms, I decided to jump in to Cali. Upon entering California I was surprised to see a very wealthy *Rank 90* trader stopped at the end of the Trade Lane. She was apparently full of Cardamine, however she vehemently denied that she was carrying anything but food rations.
However, evidence shows otherwise:
We boarded her ship to check the cargo hold firsthand, and found that the containers had all been lined, at the top, with food rations, however underneath they were full of Cardi. Thusly we told her to drop the goods. However, this trader demanded that we reimburse her the cost of her cargo. She claimed that she should be reimbursed since she had been under the impression she was moving food. However I told her it was her fault that she didn't thuroughly check the cargo, and she would have to cover the difference. She was difficult, however the Commonwealth showed up, and thus the situation quickly came to resolution, with Cay dropping the cargo.
After that I resumed patrol with little activity. A while later though I came across a Barghest and Rogue Gunboat. The bomber had nomads, including a Superior Brain, and thusly I engaged the two without question, they were far too much of a risk of infection to let pass. I destroyed the bomber quickly, the pilot must have been.... distracted, as he fought poorly. The Gunboat, surprisingly, turned back and hit the cruise engines. He got away unfortunately, but at least he only had a Nomad Cannon, and not brain materials.
Thus ends my report, Ryans out,
