*** MESSAGE STARTS ***
While on patrol today, me and Gefreiter Fuhrmann were informed by long range sensor stations that a Liberty vessel with LSF signature was identified in Rheinland space, more precisely in the Hamburg system. We went to investigate.
As we entered the system we demanded that the vessel explained it's presence in Rheinland space and reported to Planet Hamburg for inspection. The captain of the vessel claimed to be a trading in Rheinland. As ordered by command he was ordered to leave Rheinland space. He tried to intimidate us stating that he was an Admiral in the LSF, but that was promptly dismissed by us stating we didn't recognize such authority from an uninvited Liberty admiral in Rheinland space.
He made another attempt of pulling ranks on us, but gave up and proceeded to the trade lanes.
As we were escorting him out of Rheinland he suddenly disengaged the trade lane sequence and engaged his cruise engines back to Planet Hamburg. Gefreiter Fuhrmann followed suit as I took the TLs back to the planet to intercept. I once again opened frequencies and ordered him to explain his actions. He then started with such an absurd account that I feel unable to reproduce or explain it, so I'll just copy the registries as they figure in my ship's logs.
By that time, Hauptgefreiter Krupinski had joined us in pursuit, but as we all converged to the escaping vessel it suddenly disappeared from our sights.
This left us startled as the ship completely vanished from both our short and long range sensors.
Liberty must be secretly working on some sort of cloaking device or some strange new weapon or reactor able to completely consume a ship that size in a matter of instants.
As such I advise we act with extreme prejudice in future such encounters.
