The Stuttgart jump gate in New Berlin was a site of another clash today. While on patrol, I encountered the familiar Hessian and someone I thought was his accomplice. Both had cloaking devices equipped and no doubt functional, so I steeled myself for another long "bug hunt". In my good fortune, the RNC-Pandora was performing recon in the Hamburg system. I contacted its captain and shortly after, engaged the Hessian, upon his denial to be taken into custody. While the Transport urged that he was not hostile and did not want to fight, I already marked him for arrest, to be taken care of after the Hessian. In a sufficiently close battle (Ja, this might signify some improvement of my flying), the transport jettisoned a part of his nanobots and shield batteries, which were immediately picked up by the Hessian. At this point, I called in the Pandora to eliminate it. Its captain claims that he almost managed to destroy the transport before it, and the bomber, cloaked.

Some time later, we received a system-wide transmission from the familiar cruiser, Carrick's.Shadow, in which he taunted the Rheinland Military. Switching to the Bergelmir, I proceeded to his usual location - the Stuttgart jump gate. Him and the Thor were both there, waiting for me. I hailed them from sufficient distance to keep them busy while assistance arrived. What proceeded was a relatively close battle, until the arrival of the Admiral, on the Pressburg. The cruiser swiftly cloaked and abandoned the Thor to our weapons. I had a chance to only get off 2 RAC shots, which I both missed. The Gefreiter did his best to eliminate the Hessian as well, but only managed to damage approximately four fifths of the hull. The Thor did manage to dock with the Junker installation inside the field. A subsequent sweep of the field yielded no additional contacts.
