COMM ID: [color=#99FFFF]Recruit Robert West TARGET ID:Naval Headquarters SUBJECT:Patrol Report ENCRYPTION:Medium PRIORITY:Low
The following is my first day on duty report. I really couldn't have wanted more from a first day in service, flying my brand new BDR-337 "Executioner" class fighter. Right then, roll the report.
[color=#FFCC00]Patrol #1
The patrol started off on a rather par level. Having just outfitted my craft, I was heading up to the Colorado System, basing off of the Battleship Mississippi in the Texas system. I came out of the trade lane from Norfolk Shipyards to Baltimore Shipyards, and my local scanner absolutely lit up. Out of nowhere rolled in a massive Bretonian convoy. They seemed to cause no trouble though, and while I can't recall their cargo, all their papers checked out.
Patrol #2
Having later entered the Colorado system (flying a mission out of the Battleship Missouri), I stumbled across a large transport at Pueblo Station. As is standard procedure, I threw a scan down on him. I about tossed my cookies when I checked his cargo hold--3,600 UNITS OF CARDAMINE.
Ye gods.
I fired up my thrusters, did a quick 180 turn and was back on his tail. I almost lost him into the trade lane, but I was able to drop the lane right before he entered it. Rather than surrender nicely, I was made to give chase to this smuggler. Fortunately, I wasn't made to travel too far before he realized the error of his ways, cut his engines, and decided to jettison the contraband. With one quick shot, I was able to destroy all 3,600 units just as fast as they had found me.
This concludes my patrol report for today. I can only hope my future days of service in Liberty's Navy will be as fruitful as this very first one was.
