Guten Tag officiers of die Rheinwehr und my superiors. You may be vondering vhy I am sending this from die Medical Bay of die Karlsruhe, but I assure you it will become apparent after my report.
*Clears throat*Achem. To start off my report I met up with Herr Gehlen shortly after arriving in New Berlin. I had recently returned from Hamburg und so Herr Gehlen decided to being our patrol in Stuttgart instead. En-route we encountered die Kruger Vessels KMS-Verder und KMS-Dietenhofen. Die Kruger vessels asked for our protection moving through die Stuttgart system und Herr Gehlen agreed. We followed them through to Frankfurt, but turned around once they hit the edge of Rheinland space.
In New Berlin we encountered twotraders both hauling Terraforming Gases.
After that we proceeded into die Hamburg system and ended our patrol at Planet Hamburg.
After leaving Herr Gehlen I returned to die Stuttgart system and took up position over die Karhsruhe. While there I found a very interesting cargo. The trader claimed to have simply found die software floating in space, so I stated that he vould not mind it returned to space. Die trader agreed und jetisoned die cargo. I recovered some for evidence and placed it on die Karlsruhe, die rest I destroyed in space.
That is not die end of illegal activities in Stuttgart. Unfortunately die guncam shots of die first slavers' 'cargo' were corrupted, but I did get die name of die fleeing ship. Presumably die slaver escaped to Omega-11 system.
In a short moment of respite I encountered a BowEx trader hauling H-fuel, presumably for Rheinland.
Shortly thereafter I caught a second slaverattempting to pass through die system. He made a few strange comments about die slaves being -for Rheinland-! I immediately ordered him to dock upon Planet Stuttgart und free die poor souls, which he complied. Unfortunately I detected an oxygen leak in mein ship und was forced to dock with die Karlsruhe before my ship depressurized so I cannot confirm he emptied out his ship, but I did see him dock und land.
A while later I contacted Herr Dermen und met up with him atBonn Station. There we encountered a junker Artifact smuggler who fled rather than respond to our demands. After repeated orders we were forced to engage und destroy die junker, with my guns landing die killing blow.
After this we met up with Frau Braun und waiting for Admiral Rall to lead our patrol. During our wait we encountered a suspected Ore Runner. However after discussion we let die trader go. Shortly thereafter we met up with Admiral Rall above planet Stuttgart.
From there we traveled to Freiburg Station und joined up with Lt. Schmitt. From there we moved into die Omega 7 system und begun our patrol.
Shortly after moving through die lane we discovered Hessians harassing a Republican trader, und from there we engaged und destroyed a Hessian Gunboat. There were some snubcraft as well, und one got the better of me with two mines.
From there I was recovered by die rest of mein patrol und returned to die Karlsruhe in Stuttgart for recovery. Which is why die transmission is originating from die medical bay.
