Identification: Commodore Christina Robinson
Location: California system, Planet Los Angeles
This concerns the Phantom menace and the embargo with Rheinland, in two seperate incidents:
Firstly, two phantom ships, Black Rose and Gentle, were spotted in New York. As Commodore Willows was in a very deep sleep, I quietly made my way to my ship, and left Los Angeles. The repercussions of doing so are unclear, but that's another discussion.
I held the Phantom ships, a Ravenclaw fighter and a Praetorian bomber respectively, until backup could arrive in the form of Admiral Hale and ensign Willows. Despite his snappy tongue, the ensign did a great job of taking out both Phantoms in short order. Only my Guardian suffered medium damage. Nothing that the engineers can't fix in a few hours.
Moving on.
This Junker is to be apprehended immediately. I am sure I do not have to explain why, but in case I do, here is the explaination:
I was in the process of getting him to turn around and head with his load through the independant worlds between Liberty and Kusari, since he previously said that he had obtained his cargo from Yokohama shipyard. This in itself raises questions about the status of Junkers in Kusari, but that is neither here nor there. Another vessel comes out of the trade lane from Hamburg (these events happened in Bering), and the Junker quietly makes a run for it, which I didn't spot until he was out of distruption range. As he departed from scanner range, I recieved the aforementioned sum of credits, and that conversation is there for you to see.
The vessel is, at the time of writing, a Junker Pirate Transport. At the time, he was carrying Engine Components across the border. I would be very appreciative if the Liberty Police Incorporated could take him and impound his ship if he is spotted inside our borders.
