The afternoon patrols were almost entirely uneventful, death was approaching me in the form of boredom, then an entire Rheinland Military Fleet showed up ravaging the LN forces in Texas. I took the HFGB-Myrmidon out for a Force Recon mission to observe the strengths of the Rheinland and Liberty Navy fleets, and to assess the threat level they presented. As it turns out, an old friend of mine was flying with the Rheinland fleet, informing them that I meant no immediate harm to them, allowing me to observe in relative peace. As the Rheinland fleet was reforming in California my old friend asked me to neutralize a few Rogues who were harrying their forces along the way; upon discovering the Rogues, we were able to negotiate an agreement: today we fight together, in semi cooperation with the Rheinlanders against the government, today we will show the weakness of the Libertine fleet - and when we next meet, Rogues, RM and Legion - we will fight again. And so we did, the Rheinlander fleet jumped into New York, straight into a bastion of no less than eight LN capital vessels, myself and the cadre of Rogues that agreed to a temporary ceasefire were close in toe, our purpose was to eliminate Navy fighters and assist in damaging un-shielded capitals. The battle was of a standard I have never seen before, the Rheinlanders fought in perfect cohesion with both a force of expert snubfighters and capital command teams - they tore through the Navy capitals as the Rogues, RM fighters and myself burned a hole through their fighter corps, losing no snubs and only minor damage to the Myrmidon. In the chaos, between dodging flak from Liberty Capitals, watching crossfire and unleashing wreathes of fire among the Navy, I only was able to grab a shot or two of a small portion of the battle {|P-1| , |P-2|}.
I realize what I am about to say might sound like treason...but I believe we should look into a potential relationship, neutrality perhaps, with Rheinland, they hate the war as much as we do and want to see the current government gone - in addition, they are capable warriors far superior to the Navy, and in a world like this a few friends is invaluable. Further information on today's battle can likely be parsed from our operatives within Liberty.
