I've been doing patrols at my regular route, and at that moment I was in Stuttgart system and flew on trade lane toward the planet Stuttgart.
Suddenly on my radar were two neutral targets and one enemy target. My first thought was that some pirate wants to rob the two traders and I immediately went out of the trade lane. But it was my small mistake. All three targets were moving in the trade lane towards New Berlin Jumpgate. I thought that pirate pursues traders and I immediately began the persecution of these ships.
I went in New Berlin after the ships. I'm quite far behind from these ships, but I managed to understand that the target, which radar showed me how the enemy ship is a Junker, and I managed to to scan one of the neutral ships. It turned out that it is smuggling patrol, which was carrying Blood Diamonds.
I immediately went to Bonn station behind smugglers. There they stopped their ships. I demanded that they immediately dropped their cargo. But the smugglers have not fulfilled my requirement and rushed in different directions. One of the Freelancers-smugglers docked to Brandenburg station, the other entered in the trade lane towards the Dortmund Station and Junker flew to battleship Strausberg. I went to Juncker.
Near Battleship Strausberg Juncker stopped. I demanded to drop cargo again. Juncker decided to give me a bribe, what I would not interfere with their patrol, but I, like the incorruptible soldier demanded to drop his cargo again and said that if he does not do it, I will destroy his ship. To show my resolve, I opened fire on his ship. Nevertheless, I underestimated the enemy. It was not a transport . It was a combat frigate. Return fire fall shield of my ship and damaged hull. I had to retreat and this time, Juncker entered the trade lane.
It makes no sense to talk about how I was trying to catch up the enemy. He is rather cleverly hiding from me. Broke trade lane that I was losing a lot of time. So, I had to stop the persecution in Hamburg system when a pirate turned out very far off from me.
