Today I have met a familiar, if unwelcome, cruiser at the Stuttgart jump gate in the New Berlin System. The trader he was pirating managed to escape through the jump gate, with my signal jamming the frequency right after he completed the sequence. Not able to follow his prey, the cruiser decided to attempt to put a bounty on my head, while I transmitted system wide that the jump gate was off-limits and attempted to contact someone for assistanse. The only vessel capable of carrying out the bounty wisely declined, wishing to remain neutral, and left the scene.
After assistance arrived, the cruiser escaped into the Ruhrfeld, presumably to replenish cloaking supplies. After the sweep of the field, the last confirmed location of the cruiser was B-4, presumably before he turned off all but the most vital systems and started floating in space (// i.e. dc'd). The lack of any logs is an oversight on my part, as I did not record anything before switching vessels and thus resetting the neural net data.

Some time later, we encountered and quickly dispatched an Outcast vessel. It seems I was not even required on the scene, although my assitance assured an efficient destruction.

Close to the end of my patrol, I encountered two hostile contacts, a Thor and a Mjolnir. Immediately after sending a call for assistance to Herr Bauer, I approached closer in order to get a better reading. They engaged while I finished scanning, forcing me to retreat. With both of them on my "six", I managed to sustain only minimal hull damage while making my way towards the Karlsruhe. At this point, the Mjolnir broke off, leaving me to engage the Thor. After a short combat, the Thor retreated toward the Mjolnir, who was already engaged by Herr Bauer. With our combined fire and herr Bauer's efficient aim with the Rheinland Antimatter Cannon, the Mjolnir was dispatched in short order. The Thor, deciding the odds too large for survival, cloaked and presumably made his way into Ostenbel. My Mosquitoes were unable to track his signature.

Before terminating, I would like to commend Herr Bauer on his performance. He not only managed to place the last location of the cruiser, but demonstrated his combat effectivenes on two other occasions.

Elias out.
