I'll be brief.
[color=#CCCCCC]Headed out on patrol in New York and was hailed by an unknown ship, Jan_Marten. He claimed he had a captured Gallic Royal Navy pilot in his hold. We RV'd over Manhattan and I took possession of the pod. Scans confirmed life signs in the unit. Shortly after the exchange, there was a strange transmission from the ship, heavy Rheinish accent. Sensors detected an electrical surge from the escape pod and I jettisoned it. A few seconds later, it exploded. Minimal damage to my Guardian. No signs of life from the pod. The most likely outcome I can guess is that he kept the pilot in there to add to the deception.
Bastard killed an unarmed POW and tried to kill me too.
TACOM linked me in to pursuit in Colorado and an Ageria pilot confirmed the ship had just docked at Planet Denver. I sent an alert to the local forces, but he'd already refueled. Lieutenant Clark saw fit to join me at this point, and he intercepted the Marten half-way along the lane to the Galileo gate.
The Lieutenant found my evidence to be inadequate and allowed the ship to pass to Kusari space. After it killed a civilian and nearly killed me.
You know he's not coming back, don't you, Sir?
Hope your evidence helps now. That ship'll be flying under a different transponder by morning.
