Case Number #372010 - The Macro Miner's Missing Mare
*THEME*
Ladies and gentlemen, the story you are about to read is true. The names have not been changed to protect the innocent.
On the evening of March 7th, 2010, our offices were alerted to activities of various criminals at the criminal lair known only as "Bigoud's." A team headed by our agent Hemperor conducted a sting on Bigoud's. A number of wanted individuals were apprehended but only through the use of deadly force.
Having taken down a number of the shard's leading criminals, we next moved our operations to the dungeon known as Destard. We dispatched three criminals before becoming outnumbered. At that point, we retreated knowing that justice would best be served another day. We next dispatched a known thief at the [$$$] tower, a hangout for local gangs of skinheads.
Our final eventful destination was Justice Island whose name has been perverted by the worst kind of brigands. Cleaning up this cesspool is our number one priority.
The night presented two notable arrests.
Chaos
First, we stopped the thief, PK, and scammer known only as Chaos cold in his tracks at Justice Island. He filed official complaints with the Department for violating the No-Fun-on-Justice-Island Rule. The Department, of course, is the law and as such is not constrained by such rules.
From #secondage:
<Chaos> hey just to let you know if you have any others chars i cA pls let me know before you try and come to roadkills .. as i plan on banning any cA I see that I don't know

<Chaos> i just want to let ya know why i'm now anti cA when i was totaly for it
Concerned about possible by misconduct by our officers, I took the initiative.

01[23:13] <chumbucket> We rob from the rich and give your mare to the poor.
[23:13] <Chaos> hell sad thing is i would have given cA 100k for nothing cause i'm rich .. i think hug could tel ya that
[23:13] <Chaos> hell i've given cA 5k just to leve my rune alone cause i'm rich and drunk
01[23:14] <chumbucket> Our Motto: We're not in it for the loot.

The mare in question killed two of our more inattentive members during an attempt to sequester it for the sake of public safety. Truly, these were proud and half-asleep public servants who gave their all so that we might live in a society of law and order.
Dagon the Macro Miner
Earlier in the night, we apprehended the PK known as Dagon. Our associates in the Department of Sheep Husbandry had had dealings with him before in which he was very, very rude and used much foul language. A routine search of his belongings conducted later that night indicated that he might be running an illegal mining in a river near Minoc. Our operative chumbucket set out to inspect the river.
The agent in question met armed opposition on a boat loaded with illegal goods. An energy vortex was called out to dispatch the criminal. Fellow agents arrived to confiscate the illegal goods.
While impounding the several boats, a town thief by the name of Harry Potter hijacked a boat off the coast of Jhelom. A rogue energy vortex killed both our agent and criminal. While ghosts, they fought for control of the boat with the only known key lying on our officer's body. Eventually, other agents met the boat in the waters behind Jhelom bank. The boat was then properly impounded.
Contact was eventually made with the suspect. We conducted a sting operation in which we confirmed that he was responsible for the macro mining operation and in which we claimed 60,000 illegally obtained gold pieces. We arranged for an agent to meet his partner Theron with ship keys for non-existent ships. He was reluctant, but eventually made the trade.
*ACTUAL AUDIO FROM THE OPERATION*
Epilogue
*THEME*
The story you have just read is true. The names were not changed to protect the innocent.
In the case of Chaos, his mare was apprehended along with various other minor goods. Operations will continue on Justice Island.
In the case of Dagon, the operation netted his mare (pure), sixty-thousand gold pieces, five ships four of which are placed in a prime mining location, approximately 320,000 gold pieces worth of ore, and a great deal of goods of small but not inconsequential value. Proceeds will be used to fund the Department of Justice.
