Guten Tag officiers of die Rheinwehr und my superiors. I appologize for die delay of die transmission. Und everything should be in order.
To begin mein report. I recieved a transmission from an Eiseneber of die Rheinland secondary fleet. Upon hearing zhat he had successfully stopped a copper smuggler, I congratulated him. I zhen met up with die piloten und ve set up a small trap for any future ore smugglers. Unfortunately zhe only strange thing we came across vas die freelancer piloten who needed to fix his IFF papers.
Zhen vith Eiseneber in tow I met up with Herr Stamek over Planet Hamburg. Zhen ve all started our patrol in die Hamburg und later New Berlin systems.
Ve zhen caught twoore smugglers. Unfortunately ve vhere not successful in stopping either of die ships, as die small freighter managed to run vhile we attempted to stop die larger shipment. Und die piloten managed to hack die Hamburg ring und dock. Die guncam shots of die event vere lost due to die event I am about to show.
Die insane piloten und crew of die gunboat Pillar immediately fired upon Herr Stamek und myself upon entering die system. Zhere vas no varning, rhyme, or reason to die abrupt attack. Herr Eiseneber suggested(//ooRP stated he was freeman) he must have some form of relationship vith die vile smuggler {Freeman. All attempts at reasoning vith die deranged crew vere futile und I immediately requested support on die emergency channel. Luckily die RNC-Hawking arrived on die scene und ve were successful in destroying die Rogue gunboat.
Shortly aftervord die ore smuggler Freeman decided do show back up again, but he immediately docked not heading Herr Stamek's or mein vords.
After zhat round of pleasantries our small patrol received a tip from a Republican ship. After catching die piloten he decided zhat instead of complying he vould attempt to avoid capture in die void of space. Eventually die piloten saw reason und decided he vould be better off selling die cargo on Hamburg. I gave him a ten minute clock to vork by trying to find die highest buyer upon die planet. Und ve let die piloten go after he deposited die ore.
Soon ve found ourselves confronted by a Unioner pirate. Und not vanting to vaste die resources of Rheinland I stayed back from die fight und let Eiseneber und Herr Stamek take him on.

Vhat is this? Sorry about this mein superiors. It appears some of mein patrol record is corrupted.
Anyvays. I met up vith Feldwebel Braun und continued my patrol after Herr Stamek needed some sleep. Ve had heard reports of a Corsair battleship intruding in die New Berlin sector! Die ship vas destroyed after calling upon die assistance of die Battleship Henrich und die battleship Feldheim also appeared on die scene. Frau Braun ordered die Battleship to remain out of die engagement, but die Kapitan refused die order. After repeated questioning die Kapitan fled die scene und even threatened die Feldwebel!
To conclude mein report I reported back to die Braunschweig system und undervent multiple training exercises vith Admiral Landers. Who also procured debilitator class veapons for mein Wraith.

Guten tag mein superiors. I vill also be attaching die second patrol report to this transmission due to die delay.
After traveling out of die Braunshweig system I began mein patrol in Frankfurt. Zhere I found an IMG miner carrying Niobium. But shortly aftervords I vas contacted by a Rheinland Federal Police officer about a smuggler in Hamburg. I vas informed zhat die ship fired upon die officer und readied myself to take down die threat. I arrived und vaited outside die Hamburg Jump Gate. Und before I could even offer a chance to surrender die guns of die smuggler fired upon me. Somehow to mein dismay die trade lane held up to the full fury of mein guns und die trader escaped to dortmund After catching up vith die smuggler ve were joined by another RFP officer und engaged die smuggler, but using die very cargo it vas smuggling hacked into Dortmund's access und docked.
Right after this incident a strange vessel operated by vhat must have been a very advanced AI arrived at Dortmund. I greeted the ship warily, but before I could utter another vord mein entire ship froze up und everything except die emergency life support und recovery beacon vere unresponsive. Luckily due to mein close proximity to die Dortmund base die ALG piloten vere able to recover mein ship quickly und are looking into die damages.
