ze whole patrol was relatively quiet.
So quiet I participated in some lower cleanup tasks during ze patrol time.
I met ze Rheinwehr Vizeadmiral Houton in Frankfurt and informed him, zat my TLAGSNET was showing a pirate freighter powerplant for ze ship DSE)Standard.Shipping, which was at zis moment moving wizin Hamburg.
Ze Vizeadmiral explained, zat zis was caused by ze engine types of ze ships and not lower by ze power core itself.
After we had done some traffic monitoring, I asked if ze Rheinwehr does know somezing about Wismar (mentioned in patrol 8271026).
Meanwhile ze IDF-IFFed ship Clamency docked at ze Ring.
While I was busy wiz communicating to ze Vizeadmiral, it seems ze ship undocked. It was moving to Munich and TLAGSNET scan showed Black market munition.
I was following the ship to munich, but lost ze track.
I informed ze Vizeadmiral about it and he said, zat he was aware of him.
Personal Note: I sometimes miss ze criminal database.
In Munich I saw an MND base, which was probably constructed by ze Rheinland Kameraden during ze civil war.
Ze Ansbach station is also not listed in ze base registry. I docked and learned somezing about ze purpose of ze base.
I relocated to Essen due increased presence of hessian patrols in zat area.
Later ze Rheinwehr Kreuzer Emden was escorting ze Orbital Spa&Cruise Liner Breezewood to Planet New-Berlin.
I followed zem to ze Orbit and got some minutes of chat wiz ze Kreuzers captain, but zen I had to return to Essen, because TLAGSNET showed two Deep space engineering ships hauling restricted cargo (some light arms).
I was able to stop zem at Brandenburg and zey paid a fine for zeir violation of ze Rheinland wars. They tried also to change their destination to munich.
After telling zem (twice) zat zey aren't allowed to trade light arms wizin Rheinland, zey dropped ze cargo and continued to Stuttgart.
I wasn't able to forward ze fine to ze corresponding account. I'll include ze attempt in ze attachment.

[10.04.2021 01:28:18] DSE)Standard.Shipping: Dan: Above your paygrade.
[10.04.2021 01:28:47] DSE)White.Stone: Matt: Hmm. To be noted that I am not the one who took this decision and thus I am not liable for the loss of the cargo.
[10.04.2021 01:28:50] DSE)Standard.Shipping: Dan: Would you permit that destination officer??
[10.04.2021 01:29:02] DSE)White.Stone: Matt: I have plans with my cheque this month.
[10.04.2021 01:29:12] KPR|KP.Obt-R.Bommel: Well, as said, you're not going to trade ze arms wizin rheinland wizout a permission. A journey to Munich is a bit too far.

[10.04.2021 01:30:07] KPR|KP.Obt-R.Bommel: Don't make it more complicated as it is...

[10.04.2021 01:31:36] DSE)White.Stone: Matt: Done.
[10.04.2021 01:31:44] DSE)Standard.Shipping: Dan: Before we go, how would we go about gaining permission to move this cargo?
[10.04.2021 01:32:09] KPR|KP.Obt-R.Bommel: You've to request it through ze restricted cargo registry
[10.04.2021 01:32:17] DSE)White.Stone: Matt through his teeth, saying slowly so he could not be heard: Bringing some democracy here ...
[10.04.2021 01:32:18] KPR|KP.Obt-R.Bommel: pretty straight forward procedure.
[10.04.2021 01:32:43] DSE)Standard.Shipping: Dan: I'll get that done, I am very sorry for all the trouble officer.
[10.04.2021 01:32:52] DSE)White.Stone: Matt on normal voice and loud enough: What are our instructions now, Dan?
[10.04.2021 01:33:00] DSE)White.Stone: Matt: Continue to our destination?
[10.04.2021 01:33:15] KPR|KP.Obt-R.Bommel: Of course, safe skies meine Herren.
[10.04.2021 01:33:26] DSE)Standard.Shipping: Dan: Correct, pick up a new Cargo on the way, maybe Daumann has Diamonds available.
[10.04.2021 01:33:38] DSE)White.Stone: Matt: I wonder if that is legal...
[10.04.2021 01:33:53] KPR|KP.Obt-R.Bommel: Zere is a new daumann installation within Stuttgart, you may want to check it.
