***Incoming message*** CommID: Rheinland Military Pilot Conrad Quentin RE: Patrol
To: RM High Command
The patrol started with a bang today, as I clocked into my fighter and undocked from Planet New Berlin. As soon as I cleared the ring I began scanning the four or five traders that were all around me and all were clear but one. This one was flying a Borderworlds Transport with a Freelancer class transponder. I immediately told him to vacate Rheinland space, him not responding. I hailed him by name this time, which I cant remember now, and he finally spoke up. We spoke for some minutes and whilst I was convincing him to leave Herr Krieger clocked in.
With the Freelancer booted out of Rheinland, we were clear to check the other systems for pirate activity, and we didnt need to check long. We immediately spotted and followed a Bundschuh fighter into Frankfurt. As we pursued him down the tradelane on his way to his home base it was suddenly taken down by an unidentified pack of low level Unioners. The Bundschuh pilot panicked and turned towards us to apparently flee. We quickly disrupted his cruise and shot him down, as he made a foolish move in his Very Heavy Fighter, he was obliterated nearly instantly.
After dealing with the pirate we moved back to Planet New Berlin for normal duties. No sooner had we arrived and began our routine scans on traders we noticed a few people gathering in Stuttgart and moved there to check out the situation. As we arrived we spotted a pirate vessel undocking from the planet with no shielding nor weaponry to speak of. As Hans spoke to him on private channels I halted Jinx and scanned the ship, allowing it to move on at will.
At that very moment, we spotted something that shocked us both. There was a gigantic Blood Dragon cruiser headed our way from the Omega systems in the trade lane. We quickly started evasive maneuvers, as we were both in Wraths, but he ignored us and docked on the planet. This was extremely peculiar to us both. We didnt particularly feel like dealing with this fool in our fighters, and he wasnt responding anyhow.
Immediately following this another Blood Dragon undocked from Planet Stuttgart and began his assault on us in his gunboat. We quickly reacted and shot back, destroying him with little effort since he had no nanobots or shield batteries on board. The pirate vessel previously mentioned then began shooting at us with his one operable weapon and he was also destroyed.
There was a bit of talking and conversation between us and the dead pilots, which was strange, but we went back to New Berlin anyhow.
We went ahead and scanned a dozen or so more traders and then moved out to Frankfurt and Hamburg to check out one pilot in each respective system.
Hans went to Hamburg and cleared that pilot, and I did likewise in Frankfurt.
There was little activity after this other than one interesting pilot who was running weaponry to the Junkers, but no real issues. From there on while I was on duty there was nothing else notable that occurred.
