SUBMITTER:Fähnrich Adrian Wiesen RECIPIENT:Rheinwehr Secured Comm-Link SUBJECT:Patrol Report [22]
We received a report from a nearby RFP patrol regarding the TLAGSNET data on three hostile vessels in Stuttgart system, so Leutnant Austerlitz and I (Later on joined by Gefreiter Fuchs) enrouted to the reported location to investigate. However, soon as we got to Stuttgart system we received reports of said vessels moving to Koeln system, which needless to say, is out of Polizei's TLAGSNET coverage, as there are no fully constructed lanes in said system so far.
Once we got to Koeln, we had to spread out to check all the known locations for possible unlawful activity, and finally found the unlawful group consisting of one LWB transport, one LWB bomber and one SCRA bomber, in the northern part of the system. As Leutnant Austerlitz decided to offer them a chance to surrender, there was a short conversation afterwards, which wasn't something I'd personally consider fruitful, as the LWB were more interested in advertising their horrible raw fruits rather than saving their own lives first, and so we engaged the unlawful vessels at last. Even despite the heavy armor upgrade installed on the transport, it proved to require no real effort to get rid of the three unlawful ships, as their bombers clearly weren't aces and the transport, being one of those so-called "Pirate transport" vessels, is harder to miss than hit.
After the unlawful vessels in Koeln were taken care of, we received reports from a trader regarding a Hessian cruiser pirating near Planet Stuttgart, so Gefreiter Fuchs and I enrouted to intercept the Hessian capital ship. We found the cruiser at the lane to New Berlin jumpgate, and the vessel was engaged by our two bombers. Soon after, a second Hessian cruiser arrived, trying to assist the other Hessian, but the second cruiser was easily taken care of. From that point on, it was a pure mess as more and more Hessians kept coming, and my bomber was destroyed in the end, but gladly, Leutnant Austerlitz was there in time to recover my pod. By the time I went down, we had 2 Hessian cruisers, 1 Hessian battleship, 1 pirate gunboat, 1 Hessian bomber, 2 Hessian fighters and 1 LWB fighter in the fight against me and Gefreiter Fuchs, 1 cruiser and 1 bomber of which got destroyed before my ship was disabled.
