SUBMITTER:Feldwebel Adrian Wiesen RECIPIENT:Rheinwehr Secured Comm-Link SUBJECT:Patrol Report [14]
Today, I joined Admiral Weissman in a routine patrol, which turned out to be something other than what we usually deal with during such patrols. Deciding to start the patrol from our northern system, Hamburg, and moving toward the southern ones, we moved to planet Hamburg but before starting the actual patrol, we received words from one of the close-by Polizei patrols regarding the TLAGSNET logs of a =LSF= vessel using the Bering gate in Hamburg.
Being the closest ships to the gate, we moved out immediately, managing to intercept the vessel in Bering. After being questioned, the =LSF= pilot claimed to have come to Hamburg system to destroy a "blockade-runner", but his faked reason being too obvious, Herr Admiral issued an order to arrest said pilot. Of course, the pilot tried to make a run for Texas but managing to cut him off again before he could use the lanes in Texas, I was ordered to destroy the vessel to make sure any and all intel that lone scout might have collected in our space does not make it to their HQ.
As the vessel was nearly destroyed, the pilot retreated back to Bering. His motives at first seemed rather unclear but soon after, as a Guardian-class Navy vessel arrived at our location, it was obvious enough the =LSF= was just trying to buy some time until his backup arrives. However, petty backup they had sent him turned out to be of no real threat and both ships were neutralized before they could make it back to Liberty space.
Returning to Rheinland space, I returned to Strausberg immediately to resupply my craft and submit this report.
