-( For Major Gunther Hoerst only

[color=#FFFFFF]Major, your concern regarding my well-being is noted. I headed to medical this morning and had a check-up done. There's nothing worth a mention aside from a mild concussion, and except for the occasional headache in the near future it shouldn't be affecting me much if at all.

As for the surprise, it is much appreciated. I didn't exactly expect you to hand me the keys to an Odin, along with a wide selection of weaponry, and you have my thanks. To be honest, I'll be missing flying that Eagle as it's a gift from, well you can guess who, but I'm positively surprised about the Odin. I'm more used to flying a little more agile ships, but from my first run it I can say I like it, and take no offense, but I actually find it hilarious that it beats the half-Maltese and half-Borderworld crap I used to fly in the Navy by a mile in most areas.

Regards,

[color=#DFFF00]Viva

Guten Abend, Kameraden der RHA

I just leaved the Bar on Vogtland as my after-patrol-beer just got empty and I`m not in the mood to drink more today after I read Viva`s story yesterday. She really is a nice person and a hell of a pilot but she even is a better drinker, though he doesn`t really know when it`s time to stop. She just entered the bar and our Flieger Fischer pays her every wish she has. (I doubt his pay is high enough for that.)

However, those aren`t things concerning the Army or the Volksrevolution or Rheinland.


Thing`s that should concern Rheinland is a wing of LSF pilots travelling through Stuttgart with Nomad Brains in there cargo pods I met yesterday. [)(]-Punisher accompanied me, but before I could ask them what they were doing in our Vaterland an local ionstorm hit my ship so I was completely blinded. As far as my ship wasn`t harmed by the storm anymore and my systems started to work again I saw all the LSFs attacking Punisher. One Guardian Very Heavy Fighter, one Liberator Light Fighter and one Upholder Liberty Bomber are a tough enemy for a single Odin so I didn`t waste much time and engaged them too.

During the intense battle Punisher`s Odin was hit by a Nuce and was destroyed, I tractored his Pod and then I had to face the Libertonian pigs alone. Thank god not for a long time. Shaf Hauzen appeared in his Heimdall and joined the fight. Hi`s ship didn`t survive the struggle too but his appearence gave me the chance to weaken the Libertorian Bomber so I could eliminate him soon.

I don`t know why but the 2 LSF Fighters decided to flee after they saw their friend dying. At this time I was out of Cruise Disruptors so I couldn`t stop them.

Though I survived and killed one of them it was a black day for the Hessians. One Odin and one Heimdall were lost only to win ... Nothing. I couldn`t gather any information or prevent all of them from reaching their home.




Today I wanted to train with Flieger Niklas Reingerin Omega 47, he just aquired a brand new Thor . Punisher had a new ship and accompanied us with Obermann Hans.
Soon our way crossed the one of a very special little fleet consisting of one Farmer Alliance Pilot, a Freelancer and a Corsair Gunboat. This fleet wasn`t a very communicative one, they only opened fire on us. Well if they want to die, they shall die, I think. The Corsair died after I think it were 3 minutes and the Freelancer didn`t last much longer. However during the battle another Cannibal called A.Manneti (I think I shot him already a few days ago) appeared. While the Kursari attacked Niklas in his bomber Manneti chose my Thor as his target. I could eliminate him after some time with my good old SuperNova. Too bad the Kursari could flee from us.

This one's just in, we've come back from it a couple minutes ago and I'm sending this from Ronneburg.

About an hour ago I received a distress call from Major Hessler. And before you make any jokes, he wasn't caught out in Gamma pants-down flying a pink Odin. Hessler had found Nomads wandering around Omega-5, but that wasn't the worst part. I'll get to it later.

I scrambled from Vogtland and moved my damn pretty ass over to Five as fast as I could. As I entered Omega-5 I got joined by Leutnant Jones, she had already been preparing the Elster for a launch and took off from Ronneburg as I passed by. And then we moved on, towards the Hammen Hole.

[size=small][color=#DFFF00]☭

That was the first thing I saw as I picked up Hessler on the radar. He was busy at work already, and we joined in. What we found a moment later was a handful of Nomads, one of them a... I don't know, I think you call them "Scorpions". You know what contraption I'm talking about. After a while we got reinforced by Oberleutnant Dresner, flying the Volkspistole, and Flieger Reiniger, flying his Falcata.

The Scorpion itself didn't pose that much of an issue, but we were facing a more difficult problem. I'm sure you all remember comrade Shaf Hauzen? Right? Comrade Hauzen was present, commanding his Vidar. The issue was that somehow the Squiddies had done their dirty work, trying to take over Hauzen's mind from what I gathered. Our comrade fought back, tried to resist, the ship's whole crew tried to resist, but to no avail. Unfortunately the Nomads had managed to get Hauzen to discard his Cruiser's Battery and Bot supplies, somehow... "feeding" the Nomads. I'm not exactly sure how they can use supplies like that, but it worked as it does with our own ships. You can guess how that went.

[color=#DFFF00]☭

We ultimately managed to trash the Scorpion however, but before we did, we lost Flieger Reiniger. Not the Nomads, mind you, but to some really wicked kind of Ion Anomaly. Hell I don't know, maybe the Squids did it, I'm not sure, but his ship suddenly got vaporized. His pod, from what I've heard, made it safe to Ronneburg however. Things seemed alright as we started to fight the smaller Squids, wearing them down slowly, bit by bit. Unfortunately at some point Hauzen couldn't resist anymore, nor could his crew, and they sporadically started firing on our own ships while slowly making for Omega-55. We didn't want to risk our comrades' lives, but we were faced with that or them possibly ending up infected.

[color=#DFFF00]☭

So Major Hessler issued the unfortunately necessary order. From there on we kept fighting, joined by a passing-by Mercenary, known as "Fantasme". While he... she... too much static back then, while Fantasme wasn't exactly talkative, he did help us out as we chased the Squids to the Fifty-Five hole. And beyond. Oberleutnant Dresner, engaged in a duel with one of the creatures, opted to stay behind in Omega-5 while we gave chase.

[color=#DFFF00]☭

One got fried. The other seemed too difficult to hit, as if it was shrouded in Ion... come to think of it, given what happened to Reininger, might've just been that way. That left one. Dresner was still fighting it in Omega-5 for a while, telling us to stay back, opting to take advantage of the duel-situation and hurting that thing as much on his own as he could before it would, inevitably, run.

[color=#DFFF00]☭

And run it did. Into our guns. With the last remaining Squid hovering close to... some kind of installation, asteroid-base, don't exactly remember, but with it hovering near that installation, under protection from its artillery, we decided to return to base. We fought the Squids back today, but at a steep price. Oberleutnant Dresner will tell you more about the whole ordeal, I'm going back out to see if I can't help find more of the Vidar's crew. I heard Hauzen is safe and survivors are coming in every minute, but another pair of eyes won't hurt.

Comrades, it seems that the recent events with the so called Wilde bring doubt on the motives of herr Hauzen. Even though preliminary reports indicate that herr Hauzens mind was not "his own" when he engaged our forces and sided with the Wilde in the last battle, there is still a shred of doubt.

Even though we are familiar with this strange "influence" the infected can put on people, herr Hauzen was still aboard a heavily armored and outfitted Vidar type cruiser, so even though the infected influence is strong, herr Hauzen was not alone on that massive ship. Adding to that, not only did his crew fire upon our own forces, the Vidar was destroyed in the process and many lives of its crew were lost.

I received word that Hauzen managed to survive, and that he is "well" for the time being. A rescue operation for the crew was also launched, and it succeeded in finding some survivors. However, herr Hauzen is not to be trusted for the time being until the doctors examine him thoroughly. We do not yet know the state of his mind, so until we manage to question him for his actions you are to show extreme caution around him. He will, after all, have to answer for the lives that were lost because of him.

Fur das Vaterland comrades!

Greetings Comrades. Today I caught a DHC miner attempting to steal our Diamonds... Again. Have they not learned their lesson? Although, I soon found out he was new to the DHC and was unaware of the severity of his crimes. I went ahead and asked for a donation anyways, as ignorance was no excuse.



Despite my efforts, he refused to pay any credits, and continued to mine our diamonds. This annoyed me. I demanded he pay me, or he would pay with his life. His response was... Baffling to say the least. He gave me the green light to end his life. No fight in this one. I had no choice but to engage.



The DHC coward was not interesting in dying by the hands of the RHA. After one direct hit of my SNAC, he proceed to drive directly into the sun, ending his own life.



Overall, it's been a productive day. I collected at least 10 000 000 Credits worth of donations to the Volksrevolution.

Reinger singing off.

Guten Tag, Kameraden der RHA


Few days ago me Lukas Fauler and the Kameraden of the RotFront managed to harm Corsair`s economy hard. On my patrol through Omega 41 I met a Corsair Barge called The Abundance near Omega 47 JH. I ordered him to pay me and to drop the ore he had loaded. He refused to drop the ore though he payed me a small amount of 30.000 SC. That wasn`t enough for his live so I engaged him. Soon the Kameraden arrived and we slowly tore it down.

The Abundance

During the battle an Order Geb Cruiser called [SEG]Malashenko appeared. Alexey on board of the [RF]Stakhanov started a conversation with him talking about the Orders hostility to the Hessians. Alexey demanded an apology but Malashenko wasn`t willing to do so and opened fire on the [RF]Stakhanov.



Plus I had a short skirmish with a Rheinland Bomber in Stuttgart. He stopped a Molly trader and wasn`t willing to let him leave. I appeared there to solve the situation and the Bomber opened fire on me. I could eliminate him with two Nukes hitting him together.

Now I`ll leave Freital and go for another Patrol im Vaterland.

Red Hessian Reporting Facility - Roter Frontkämpferbund - 03-07-2011

******************************************
Message to: RHA Command
Message from: Rotfrontkampferbund



******************************************

Guten tag. Yesterday we had two encounters of interest, the Gamma raid and the Omega-5 battle.

After Stakhanov carrier has finished patrolling Omegas in search for Corsair capital ships, the forces present, consisting of one carrier, two bombers, [RF]Ergaster and [RHA]Hans-Gukel, and one LWB Loki light fighter AGS-L|H.Schuschnigg, moved into gamma for a quick anticapital raid to test the Zoner battleship turrets which were installed on the carrier recently.

Everything went well from the beginning, when right outside the nebula on our way to Tripoli we have detected one Legate guarding the way into system. Snubs intercepted while Stakhanov started to shell him from reasonable distance with mortars and newly aquired Zoner battleship turrets, until its hull dropped low enough to initiate a frontal assault. It fell really fast.



Poor cannibal didn't order to hit the bots reserve until the mortar hit, setting the engine to blow. Too little too late. Some little ramming helped the deal, too.

Death: LTfighter was killed by [RF]Stakhanov (Collision)

From there we proceeded to Tripoli. It was guarded by one cruiser, the captain of which became so scared when he saw us that in haste of trying to dock right now he opened fire on Tripoli itself. Shame they still let him in. Here you can see his light mortar impact on the shipyard.



We moved along and found a Legate in the open. So the usual routine followed, with bombers shelling it with snacs, Stakhanov mortaring him from the safe distance and Loki being around supporting everything. Sadly, this one decided to run and cry like the little girl instead of fighting the very moment he realized he's not going to land any hit on Stakhanov, and his dodging abilities were akin those of a train on rails, so he cruised to Tripoli. Lucky for him, TCDs failed to stop his engines.

While we were at it, some bomber attacking the carrier came too little too close.

Death: -=AfroJack=- was killed by [RF]Stakhanov (Gun)

More and more capital ships were arriving on the field, so we needed to finish our mission quickly. We took one cruiser down fast.

Death: zenz was killed by [RF]Stakhanov (Gun)

Then the snubs engaged a gunboat while one Legate and one Osiris started to shoot on Stakhanov, and that was time, so we called it over and went out. Sairs were too slow, as it always happens, so all forces left gamma in one piece.

Corsairs_Leon-Benitez: Can someone stop this Zephyr?

Not really.


However, not everybody made it to Omega-11 flawlessly. The LWB fighter didn't manage to get enough distance and was CDed by bunch of angry sairs in Omega-5.

AGS-L|H.Schuschnigg: Getting attacked by sairs but I'll be fine

We did what we had to do, dispatching all the free VHFs around to Omega-5 to help him out. Carrier required resupply and some repairs... of scratched paint, but as no sair caps except for one puny gunboat were around it was left near Freital without remorse.

So, Vladimir Lenin was in Omega-5 first, and, trying to stall for time, called corsairs to a duel. One of them agreed, while others decided to stay and watch instead of following LWB fighter, which, being the Loki, was almost impossible to hit.

In the meantime, more forces arrived. Mostly RHA pilots, of course, but there were some RF pilots too, and even two mercenaries, one Mandalorian and Viva Velasques, well-known among sairs, and somewhere around the middle of the fight we got support from SCRA, in form of two more fighters, and some other pilot called M.Agricola. The enemies mostly consisted of Corsairs of different kinds, HAF, Benitez, Sails, you name it. There was also some weird Hogosha around. Also, one Osiris was detected in the system at some point, and Stakhanov was ready to come and take it down, but Osiris captain decided to stay out of it.

While the battle raged on, the duel came to an end, and even despite the Berny|Sails interruption, the outcome still was in our favour.

Death: Corsairs_Leon-Benitez was killed by [RF]Vladimir.Lenin. (Gun)

By that time, the gunboat already exploded.

Death: -=ExOdIsIoN=- was killed by an NPC

Sadly, the LWB comrade had the Loki engines blown up by the passing missile, but such is life in Omega-5.

Then, more shooting ensued.

Death: Corsair-Ronaldo.Benitez was killed by [RHA]VoIsung (Gun)

Death: enrico was killed by Viva.Velasquez (Gun)

Well, we lost one more ship by that point, the one M.Agricola was piloting.

But we quickly returned the favor.

Death: Corsairs-Carlos_Benitez was killed by [RF]Vladimir.Lenin. (Gun)

Death: Corsair~Aaron_Benitez was killed by an NPC

We lost another fighter, piloted by Hans Gukel, but he was probably just tired after sucesseful mission in Gamma.

Death: Benito.Juarez was killed by Viva.Velasquez (Gun)

Death: Berny|Sails killed himself (Mine)

Death: Mandriva was killed by [RHA]VoIsung (Gun)

Mandalorian guy was pretty sad that he didn't get any kills yet, and that's what he's paid for, but there were a lot of sairs to land a finishing blow at least once.

Death: Liutuks|skraiduolis was killed by MM~Silent:threat (Wasp/Hornet)

Cesar.|Sails docked to Cadiz with ship burning, only to appear later to repeat the trick.

Lalo, the hogosha one, ran away to Omega-41 and we had better things to do than follow. With any luck, his almost destroyed fighter would bump into something, finishing the job.

Explosions didn't cease, anyway.

Death: *=stardom=* killed himself (Mine)

Death: HAF|Gen.Silent_Bob[TF] was killed by SCRA|Sayoko.Kato. (Gun)

Death: Elevada was killed by [RHA]Gunther.Hoerst (Gun)

That was it.

[RHA]Gunther.Hoerst: I guess we can leave now.
[RHA]Gunther.Hoerst: Unless.... any of you wants Vito?
Vito'|Sails: just go shoot some rocks or something
[RF]Vladimir.Lenin.: Well, hello there, rock.

Death: Vito'|Sails killed himself (Mine)

That was it. 2.5 hours of blowing sairs up.

AGS-L|H.Schuschnigg: Ah screw it, I'm tired. I'd better see all of you alive at the victory feast tonight, got it?

Ja, we got it. That was the reason this paperwork got ready a bit late, in fact.
