Well, today was my first patrol. An eventful one, too.
I met up with Wachmann Olavsson and Inspekteur Putzkanner in New Berlin. From there we jumped to Hamburg and turned around a trading vessel called Hannes who was apparently oblivious to the existence of an embargo. Olavsson and I were then headed to Dresden to deal with a Hessian when a certain Jarek appeared in New Berlin. Suspicion arose when he started to ask if the police was around and where we were. Once he arrived in Hamburg we, along with the Inspekteur, set about trying to catch him. He proved most elusive, and through a private channel I demanded that he cut his engines and tell me where he was.
A wild chase ensued as he provided poor clues. In the meantime, Olavsson and the Inspekteur travelled to New Berlin to deal with the Joker and his thugs. At long last, I found Jarek at planet Hamburg, flying a Pirate Transport and transporting Black Market Munitions.
Jarek refused to drop his cargo, and began to fire on me. The RNC-Tirpitz was nearby, and its captain informed me the ship was not cleared to engage transports, leaving me to deal with the smuggler on my own. I slowly whittled down its shields, my Mjolnir never taking any significant damage, until he unwittingly came too close to the planet. Gravity claimed its prize and the ship was lost.
Returning to New Berlin, I moved towards the Stuttgart Jump Gate, where the Berlin-Tegel, Wachmann Olavsson and a Rheinwehr officer were fighting the Joker and one of his thugs, identified only as "Dorky". During the battle, "Spanky" also joined on the criminals' side. Eventually, the fight was lost. I myself barely managed to eject and reach Bonn Station, and I understand several crew members of the Berlin-Tegel perished.
