Guten tag
It feels good to be back on solid ground. I am also looking forward to fly with my new wraith. After this hell trip in Sigma-13 I had a lot time to think about it. It was my first foreign mission and i failed at an ion storm, what a shame.
My Wraith is totally destroyed and I had luck that i am still alive.
The doctor said I have suffered dehydration and a shock.
I also have to stay a few days for observation in the clinic. This gives me some time to write my report:
Patrol Report - 01:
About two days ago i had the order to meet with a squadron at Fulda in Frankfurt.
Previously we had salvaged an unusual artifact. I was not informed about what exactly it is, only that the KNF would be interested in it.
We jumped to Sigma-13, directly into an massive ion storm. The first wave was harmless. I and Flieger Julia Maur took the trade lane, as another ion storm reached the jump gate and caught the rest of the squad.
We lost the contact with the squadron and waited at Naha for further orders, as suddenly another ion storm hit us.
My radar was immediately useless and I saw Fräulein Maur flying into the nebula.
I decided to follow and help her, but then we were separated in the fog.
Regrettably I realized later, that my primary power relays are overcharged.
So I had no radar and no navigation systems.
As if that were not bad enough, I also flew into a gas bubble. The main power failed and i had to switch to emergency power. I also tried to recover the lost systems ... unsuccessfully. The computer refused all my commands and one system after another fell out. At least I had enough energy to keep up the life support a few days.
After two days I was able to call help via the com systems.
Fortunately, one KNF officer named Sk.Yuji.Kobayakawa found me and forwarded my coordinates to a rescue team. Gefreiter Albert.Holst and Gefreiter Geoff.Enfield came first and tried to
encourage me.
Shortly thereafter I must have lost consciousness by the heat and lack of oxygen in the ship.
When I woke up, I saw that the primary energy, live support and the engines were online again.
However, the computer still refused my commands, so the repair ship DHC-Repair_Ship_001 had to pull me out of that bubble via a tractor beam.
After we reached Frankfurt, I was taken directly into a hospital where I was examined by a nurse.
