Incoming Transmission To: RepEx HQ Pilot: Erich Alfred Hartmann Subject: Report No.1 Ship: RepEx-Shipping|223 Location: Ingolstadt Station, Munich System
After loading cargo of Aluminum, I went to the Stokes Mining Station. Near Frankfurt Gump Gates two Unioners. I tried to run to Frankfurt system, but they caught me there. After several conversations, I tried to escape through Trade Lanes, but without success. They asked me to drop my cargo and then they will save my life. After my few attempts to escape, they opened fire. I defended myself, but the advantage of maneuverability was on their side. My ship was on fire. I drop cargo. They wanted to destroy it, but I did it first. They have kept my life and left. Later, my damaged ship was discovered by a patrol police. They brought me to the nearest Republican Shipping station, where I was hospitalized. Soon after I returned at the helm of the ship.
