SUBJECT: Patrol Report
Wachmann Schönau here. I'll try to keep it brief, there's a lot of traffic on the lanes right now I need to get back to, but this can't wait.
Following the incident with Terroruk, the vessel hauling supplies to an unlicensed station mentioned in Wachmann Müller's report three days ago, and the recent request the captain made to the registry, I conducted a few repeated sweeps of the Omega-7 system. After a hefty amount of time on autopilot, I discovered a suspicious installation to the relative stellar north of the Stuttgart jump gate, sector 3H, bordering 3G.

Since I've got the opportunity, I'll run down two other major incidents that happened the day prior. The first was, and it sounds a little ridiculous writing this but bear with me, a Libertonian carrier coming out of the lane near Brandenburg Base right in front of me, designation "Andre_SD." I didn't have any Military or Polizei vessels in-system to assist, so I managed to keep things calm and explain to him that orbiting a massive foreign warship near major Rheinland installations is a problem, and that he had to leave. He was cooperative, and I escorted him back into Hudson without incident, but I'm pretty sure the guy and his crew weren't actually Navy personnel, based on how clueless the captain was. Consider ringing up the Libs and telling them someone stole their carrier, maybe?

The other incident was comparatively tame and routine. Caught some Junker mooks in a frigate, designation "Leon_Nettoyeur", moving artifacts in the direction of Liberty at the Dortmund-Essen bend. He refused to give up his artifacts and booked it. I chased him through the Hamburg gate and on to Alster Station where I locked him down with disruptors. He then proceeded to fire on me, and I engaged. Eventually the polizei SEK gunboat Weser arrived on-scene to assist. We gave him a final chance to surrender and were more than accommodating, but the vessel was unresponsive and continued firing, so we destroyed it. [Scan results + stills included: ------------ ]
