Two incidents to report today, but both were routine and without violation.
INCIDENT REPORT - 001
I spent some time in VR training to become more comfortable with my flight controls that were adjusted after my Initial Patrol as per recommendation by Wachmann Krupp. After some time patrolling the New Berlin system without incident, I picked up a possible Rheinland Gunboat being piloted by non-registered crew on TLAGS. I suspected it was not a registered vessel as the ship had no tags appended to its callsign "Manticor", but it could have just been a new vessel without a properly configured callsign. I moved to investigate, but the ship disappeared from TLAGS so I declined to investigate further, as there was potentially no incident at all.
I then encountered a Republikanische Großspedition (Republican Shipping subsidiary) vessel "RGS)Quickborn" near Brandenburg. I did not immediately recognize the name of the subsidiary, so my communications with the vessel were brief as I focused attention to my console in an attempt to research the tag, which was not successful until writing this report. I quickly scanned the vessel and found that everything was in order. The RGS vessel reported that it had encountered a pirate vessel during its travels. I inquired if it was a gunboat, with hope of resuming investigation of the previous TLAGS contact, but was informed it had a different callsign "JuneJade" and was not of gunboat size. I had not seen the reported vessel on TLAGS since I began my patrol, so I declined to investigate further and resume a standard patrol as the RGS vessel was leaving the area. I declined to offer escort to the vessel, as I was more concerned with encountering either two suspected violators on my patrol route at this time.
Note that my previous employer at ALG, "Captain" Rolann Werfel II unofficially reported to me that he encountered the vessel "JuneJade" the day before, but declined to file an official report.
(Appended 08.09.823: Upon review of previously submitted patrol reports, specifically the report on 21.08.823 by Detektiv Wolfram Kruppstahl, I have learned that the identity of the gunship "Manticor" is confirmed as belonging to the Polizei Reserve Department, and is not a suspected violator.)
[07.09.823 19:56:00] RGS)Quickborn: Daniel: Gut day, police officer.
[07.09.823 19:56:12] RFP|Kadett.K.Taran: Guten tag Quickborn
[07.09.823 19:56:17] RFP|Kadett.K.Taran: Mind if I scan you real quick?
[07.09.823 19:56:31] RFP|Kadett.K.Taran: Everything checks out here, proceed
[07.09.823 19:56:42] RGS)Quickborn: Daniel: Go ahead. There is nothing to...ah, already done?
[07.09.823 19:56:57] RGS)Quickborn: Daniel: In that case we will head for Freiburg station.
[07.09.823 19:57:11] RGS)Quickborn: Daniel: Can you tell us if the lanes are free from pirates?
[07.09.823 19:57:19] RFP|Kadett.K.Taran: Roger that, we've got our eye out on TLAGS, haven't noticed any recently
[07.09.823 19:57:52] RGS)Quickborn: Daniel: *sighes in relief* Gut to know. We had to face a Hessian cruiser right on the other side of the jumpgate
(Note that I missed that the RGS vessel referred to the pirate's ship class, as I was occupied with my console at this time)
[07.09.823 19:58:00] RGS)Quickborn: Daniel: Believe me, it was no pleasure.
[07.09.823 19:58:05] RFP|Kadett.K.Taran: Did you? A gunboat, perhaps?
[07.09.823 19:58:16] RGS)Quickborn: Daniel: *shakes head* I am afraid, no.
[07.09.823 19:58:39] RFP|Kadett.K.Taran: Understood, I picked up a suspicious gunboat earlier, but it slipped me, may have been Military ID
[07.09.823 19:58:40] RGS)Quickborn: Daniel: The Hessian cruiser was called JuneJade...or something like that.
[07.09.823 19:59:01] RFP|Kadett.K.Taran: Ahh, I am familiar with the vessel, my previous employer at ALG reported a run in with that one yesterday
[07.09.823 19:59:03] RGS)Quickborn: Daniel: Aha...nun, we will keep an eye out for any pirates and inform you.
[07.09.823 19:59:29] RGS)Quickborn: Daniel: Nun, safe flight, police officer. My crew and I have to get these chips delivered.
[07.09.823 19:59:42] RFP|Kadett.K.Taran: You as well, stay safe
INCIDENT REPORT - 002
I spent apx 20 minutes patrolling without incident, watching TLAGS scans. One returned a possible ship mounting restricted weaponry, but on local scan was a Polizei officer of a different department, callsign "Wiese" for future reference. The vessel declined to communicate when hailed, and as it was Polizei I let it go about its business.
I returned to Planet New Berlin, as I was informed Wachmann Krupp was launching to space for a limited-duration patrol. TLAGS returned scan of a Junker heading toward New Berlin from Frankfurt, and we opted to intercept the vessel to determine its motives, as even though Junkers are allowed freely in Rheinland space, they are an organisation that is suspected of routinely violating the law. The Junker vessel was intercepted at the Frankfurt jump gate, scanned (see guncam footage below), and found to not be in violation of the law. During our communication, the Wachmann detected a potential violator on his scanners, but opted to not press investigation to assist me with the escort. The vessel claimed that it was heading to the Puerto Rico system, so I asked if it needed an escort through Rheinland space. The Junker said it was not necessary, but did not decline, so I decided to escort it to the Hudson jump gate in Hamburg to ensure that it stayed within the bounds of the law, and to impress upon it the authority of the Rheinland Federal Polizei. The vessel was escorted to the Hudson jump gate without incident. Wachmann Krupp and I both opted to RTB to end our patrol.
[07.09.823 20:22:47] RFP|Kadett.K.Taran: Hailing just_some_junker, this is Rheinland Police. Please halt for a cargo scan and submit your destination.
[07.09.823 20:23:03] just_some_junker: I am heading home to puerto rico
[07.09.823 20:23:15] RFP|Kadett.K.Taran: I dont see anything out of order here... Puerto Rico eh, one moment please
[07.09.823 20:23:17] RFP|Wach.A.Krupp: Allright Kadett
[07.09.823 20:23:25] just_some_junker: thank you officer
[07.09.823 20:23:29] RFP|Wach.A.Krupp: Tell me what the Junker's done wrong
[07.09.823 20:23:48] RFP|Kadett.K.Taran: Nothing, of course. Would you like an escort through Rheinland space?
[07.09.823 20:24:03] just_some_junker: its not necessary but if you like...
[07.09.823 20:24:07] RFP|Wach.A.Krupp: That's precisely right Kadett.
[07.09.823 20:24:16] RFP|Wach.A.Krupp: You go on ahead, I want to get a look at something...
(At this point, the Wachmann moved to investigate another vessel)
[07.09.823 20:24:23] RFP|Kadett.K.Taran: We will follow you to the Hudson system where you may proceed
[07.09.823 20:24:28] RFP|Kadett.K.Taran: correction, I will
[07.09.823 20:24:33] RFP|Kadett.K.Taran: proceed ahead
(We proceeded to travel to the Hudson jump gate without further incident or communication)
(TLAGS scans of trade lane travel removed, available upon request for proof of escort.)
[07.09.823 20:30:31] RFP|Kadett.K.Taran: We'll leave you at the jump gate, Junker.
[07.09.823 20:31:13] just_some_junker: thank you!
[07.09.823 20:31:35] RFP|Kadett.K.Taran: Thank you for your cooperation Junker vessel, it has been noted and appreciated. Have a nice day.
