COMM ID: Sub-Leutnant Walter Steiner
LOCATION: Zhukovski Station
SUBJECT: Report about reconnaissance of Omicron 74
Yesterday I just woke up on Freeport 2 in Bering system. A day earlier I made an emergency dock there with my heavy damaged Insurget. Poor ship was scap than a ship. The maintaince section of Freeport made a damn good job, because when I saw my ship next time, it was almost as good as it came out from the factory. I just made pre-launch check when I got an encrypted message. I got my job: I must go into Omicron 74, the home of the Omicroners and making some photo about important things. A recon mission what I must do fast and silence. After I paid out the service and loaded up with ammo, I took off from Freeport 2. When I flew towards from the lanes a little bit, I started planning the way to Omicron 74. Because I wanted to be invisibile I thought better if I use the jump hole network. So I adjusted the auto pilot to Hamburg Jump Hole. Seems like the normal Rheinland Border Patrol took a rest because the whole Hamburg system was quiet. I just took a look at Hamburg Planet and continued my way to Frankfurt Hole. Because I wanted avoiding the Border Station, I used again the jump hole into Sigma 13. There was all quiet so I just flew in peace to Sigma 17 hole. After I arrived into Sigma 17, I just kumped into arms of 2 corsair. They don't cared with me, just jumped to Sigma 13. I followed them because I can't let an eyewithness living when I'm on a secret mission. I tracked them until Yanagi, when they landed, but luckily just rearmed, so I catched them close to the station. The 1st was a titan, while the second was an eagle. Two corsair cannot mean any problem for an Insurgent pilot. 1st the titan destroyed, and shortly the eagle blew up. Sadly the radiatin in the area caused a lesser error of the recorder.
Because I lost some ammo, I needed reloading 1st, because I dont wanted entering into the lion's mouth with a half ready ship. After I jmped back to Sigma 17, I jumped to Theta, then Omega 41, finally Omega 11 where is our friends base, Freital. After the fast reload, I returned to Theta where my mission started. When I reached Omicron 74 jump hole, I took a deep breath and jumped into the hostile system. When I just arrived I was in a heavy crossfire of hostile weapon platforms, what protected the hole. Luckily noone took off from the nearby base so I just switched on the recorder and focused for evading. The following pictures show all important:
After I finished with the photos I just headed to the Theta hole and jumped into this friendlier system. I chose again Omega 41 hole. I flew trough the system as fast as possible, because I feared the radiation will cause more error in the ship systems. In Omega 5 the well know Cadiz awaited me, so I turned my ship's noise fast to Omega 52 hole. In our home system I just headed to Zhukovsky Station where I finished this longer flight.
