After a weekend full of paperwork I was finally ready to start my first official patrol in years.
Ze first part was a round wizin ze New-Berlin system and patrolling to all jump gates, ze Kreuzberg depot and Battleship Kolleda.
After ze first stop at ze Frankfurt gate I was moving to Wildau, some traders where greeting me at New-Berlins orbit when I spotted a base in ze suns direction.
Regarding my task to familiarize myself wiz ze newly constructed bases wizin ze empire, I decided to inspect zis Kruger base.
I don't know what annoys me more, to find a Rheinland corporation base in front of our capital planet which isn't registered in ze modular base registry or ze fact zat I'm ze first one who questions zis...
However, I continued my patrol to Wildau, ze Dresden gate, Bonn and ze Stuttgart gate.
On ze way to Kreuzberg I was able to see ze Handelsdepot, which was relocated and is now a Junker base located in Sector 4C.
I insisted on doing a routine inspection just for ze case.
On ze way to Essen, I noticed somezing red on my scanners. It was just a recon pair of hessians coming from ze Ruhrfeld, but removing zem before zey cause any trouble seems necessary.
I was finally moving to ze Hamburg gate and finished zis round at Kolleda.
At least I thought I finished. Zey had a minor incident wizin ze Aachenfeld.
Of course I was a good Polizist and offered my help. Some minutes later I was facing ze mission target and finally destroyed it.
After I finished zis little round, I returned to common duty tasks, traffic patrol near Essen.
It didn't take long when a trader in ze TLAGSNET (moving in my direction) showed up.
I stopped ze trader at ze Essen-Hamburg lane. He was carrying Helium.
And asked him, where he was heading to. He said Munich, and later Fort Augsburg but he was almost sure it's a Rheinwehr station.
I granted him access to proceed and continued to Bonn.
On ze way to Bonn, I remembered, what Herr Beckendorf from ze kaiserlichen Büro für Öffentlichkeitsarbeit once said.

In my case of doubt I followed ze trader to ze munich system and stopped him when Fort Augsburg was showing as Federalist base on my scanners.
Wiz almost no resistance, ze freelancer returned to Planet New-Berlin and rerouted ze Helium to Omega-3.
I escorted ze trader to ze border gate.
When we were moving through Stuttgart a strange visual reading was flashing through my neural net. Anozer freelancer, who was greeting us, was ze cause of zis, but my priority was ze escort of ze trader. So we moved to ze Omega7/Omega3-gate.
I returned to ze Stuttgart system, ze Freelancer wiz ze callsign Jean.Bart, a Corvo-explorer was found at ze lane between Planet Baden-Baden and Planet Stuttgart. He was in possesion of a cloaking device. After some ignorance of ze Rheinland laws, I escorted him to ze Zurich gate.
Patrol summary:
inspected two modular bases wizin New-Berlin
stopped Helium transport Isidorak.Vik from supplying ze federalists
escorted Isidorak.Vik from Munich to Omega-7
removed Corvo Jean.Bart from Rheinland space (unfined) for possession of illegal cloaking device according to Article 2 §2.2.4.
