DELIVERING MESSAGE...
Today's shift ist split into two parts, divided onto different daytimes. First I was flying in my Phantom, but later switched to the Geilenkirchen today.
Incident 01 is about a BOWEX-trader carrying military vehicles without permission. After informing him about Rheinland law, I ordered him to get the vehicles back to Munich. He responded to this without much complain. ***
Incident 02 is about an attack by two Reaver mercenaries, in this case Silver Reaver and Amethys Reaver, attacking Rheinwehr vessels in their Mamoru bombers near Dortmund station. As Silver Reaver is sentenced to death by the Rheinland criminal data base already, I informed all units of the kill on sight.
Despite this, they were able to inflict much damage on the cruiser Seydlitz and destroy the RFS~Darkedge. To my surpise a Bundschuh pilot named Volksritter attacked the two mercenaries and destroyed at least one of them. Silver Reaver escaped once more. ****
Other than this, I met Wachmann Daniel in orbit of Hamburg. We were hunting some embargo breakers, but unfortunately, these escaped and the guncam of my Phantom has no record of this. Therefor I took a break while the technicians had Hamburg had to look at my guncam.
Next part of my shift and stating with incident 03, I took the Geilenkirchen and supervised the traffic around planet Hamburg.
It was not long after this, when scanning of the vessel helly37 via TLAG showed us that he was flying with illegal weapons in his vessel. Somehow he broke the lines. Kadett Schmidt and I searched for him, but he had escaped into the Bremen system. Informing the Rheinwehr about this trespasser we were temporarily granted the right to enter Bremen. Five minutes later Kadett Schmidt recognized an explosion in a nearby nebula. Scans of derelict indicated that it was the trespasser Kadett Schmidt and I were looking for. After this we left Bremen to Hamburg again and informed Rheinwehr about the result. ***
Incident 04 just started after jumping in Hamburg system again. Officer Kugelblitz was chasing a possible smuggler vessel near Alster shipyard. Kadett Schmidt and I assisted him and we finnally tracked him down near a jump hole to Frankfurt. The kapitaen of the vessel Powder admitted he wanted to take a shortcut to Frankfurt, as he had business there. We ordered the vessel to take the regular lanes. After some complaining he complied to our orders, the rest of his documents was fine to us so we had to let him go. ***
While officer Kugelblitz, Kadett Schmidt and I had hoped for a little break, with incident 05we had to pursuit another vessel near Hamburg. A vessel with ALG-affilation did not respond to our orders to stop engines and be scanned. Neither me nor Kadett Schmidt were in range for a cargo scan, so the only violation of law was not compliying to our orders. I highly recommend informing ALG to this behaviour. Kadett Schmidt wanted to hunt the violator in Bering but I called him back, as the only Rheinwehr vessel, the RNC-Radical was on a mission and not really assisting us. We had to fly back to Hamburg. ***
We took a short break there where I let the ragnar get a repair. Engines system had malfunction which led to an embargo breaker escaping.
Later on, we encountered another trespasser entering Bremen system. TLAG-scan of CORBEN92 indicated that he was flying a corsair heavy fighter. I informed Rheinwehr again and they took this issue for themselves. Kadett Schmidt was a little bit to eager to hun this violator and followed him directly into Bremen. As we had no permission to enter this system again, I called him back immediatly.
From what I know by Rheinwehr officers, they tracked the violater down in Braunschweig, but he was able to hack into the docking procdures of a base there. ***
From there on, the Kadett Schmidt had some engines failures and had therefore to land on planet Hamburg. At least from what I know. Perhaps he can tell us more about it. Meanwhile, Kadett Becker showed up and with him, I set course to system New Berlin. And now incident 06:
A trade-vessel with the name (KS)-Garderal-(HS) was on its way from Hamburg to New Berlin. When ordering to stop for a regular scan, he did no comply, so Kadett Becker and I had chase him until Dortmund station. Although I odered all nearby stations to temporarily revoke the docking rights for the kapitaen, so we could get some answers from him, he somehow managed to land on Dortmund station.
So, this will be another possible entry for the Rheinland criminal data base. He could have avoided this if he had obeyed our orders. The scanning near Dortmund showed, that his documents were in order all the way. But we cannot tolerat such a behaviour! ****
We continued our patrol to Stuttgart, when Kadett Becker noticed a wanted criminal in our space. The vessel's name was Son.of.a.Badger (see registry here). He had to pay a fine of 7.5 million Sirius credits. We gave him a last chance to pay the fine, but he just told us that he had not enough to pay it right now.
As he already had entered Rheinland space, Kadett Becker and I activated our weapons and finally destroyed the mining vessel. **
On our last part of our patrol, Kadett Becker and I flew into Dresden system. Near Leipzig station we encountered a BOWEX vessel. The document for it were fine. During our interrogation we had to deal with minor Hessian presence. Kadett Becker engaged them and destroyed them quickly but by a mistake of the Bretonian kapitaen, the BOWEX vessel fired upon Kadett Becker's Mjolnir.
The capitaen apologized for his mistake, but I cannot see, why he should not have checked his scanners first. Therefore I levied a fine of 500.000 Sirius credits for the assault on Kadett Becker. After some complaint, the fine was paid. I have already forwarded it to RFP|Arsenal. *****
After this, both I and Kadett Becker set course to our home bases and let our shift end.
Last but not least I want to express my compliment for the good work that both Kadetten have shown today. Although they have to learn some things yet, they are on a good way from what I have seen today.
