My patrol today began with the interception and destruction of a transport pretending to be a Hessian |{L-1}|, he had no ID no IFF and no actual signs of affiliation with Hessian forces, I kid you not, he had somehow gotten an AI ID and was flying a Rheinland Armored Transport; after not responding to my demands and trying to flee I was forced to destroy him taking minor damage in the process unfortunately all I could photograph with my gun cams was the former report as they were damaged and I applied bots to them after the fight. This is where it gets interesting, I was at Darmstadt Depot in Stuttgart when three or four apparently independent Hessians approached me (One or two gunboats, a Thor, an Odin), though they are not affiliated with the RHA as evidenced by their IFFs and not even knowing what the RHA was somehow; I digress, they claim that the transport I destroyed was a friend of theirs running goods to Omega-54 and that they represented not only Omega-54 but general Red Hessian interests which is obviously not true. They then tried to extort money out of me for attacking their friends empty transport and threatened to destroy me if I turned out to be a 'threat to the Hessians'. The log is in the following data store |{L-2}|. The last part of my report is a simple encounter with a Rheinland Military Gunboat, the captain appeared to be intoxicated. I was forced to flee but made it out with minimal damage. |{L-3} {P-1}|
