Sorry about the false location, turns out this thing was a Daumann storage satellite and the computer is scrambling up my log location, so it thinks it's still where it was. It's gonna take me a minute to upload the data so bear with me. You may see some of the boot process but no worries. I'l upload the flight personal log entry first.

This is Lt. Ernst Eisenhower of Patrol 99. I am currently captive aboard Weimar station in Omega 15 and people need to know what happened here. If your reading this then it means that you have found either the transmission on Daumann Outpost X44TR or you have traced it to there via my onboard flight computer. Also if you are reading this, then I am dead.

There is alot to know but I don't have much time so I will be brief. Weimar station is a GMG base, they were planning to outflank Rheinland with the amassed forces they had accumalated here. No-one knew of this stations existence except for high positions in the GMG and a few nosy pirates who got too close. This is how Rheinland got wind. I was an agent on Leon when I overheard a corsair and a zoner murmering about it. I reported it to my CO and a civilian ship was sent behind planet Skagen to confirm the location of the base.

A undercover mission was immediatley scheduled for three civilian transports, a train and a single escort (me) posing as a GMG convoy with a trusted Bounty Hunter escort to infiltrate the station to see what the GMG were up to.

Well we managed to infiltrate the station but the GMG were wary of us, there were not expecting us until another two hours which definatley was a very bad mistake for us. When we got onto the station the civilian pilots posing as GMG operatives went to the commodities dealer to keep the charade up, I however stated I was going to the Pilots bar as an excuse to leave.

Using the hacking equipment i was supplied, I hacked the mainframe from a small security console in the dock and discovered what the GMG had planned. They had shippind hundreds of transports full of Military Vehichles and Light Arms here for an Assault on Dresden and then onto New Berlin. It showed aswell that they had few pilots stationed here to avoid detection and suspicion. I could not tell what their long term plan was but I could guess that they were planning to take control of Rheinland space. I also discovered that several experimental tests were being run on Equipment I had never seen before, the technology was...alien. Like nothing I'd seen.

I transferred all of this info onto my flight computer as you will see in the other file I uploaded beside this one. I met up with the transport crew and told them a brief about what this was all about. I told them to buy as many military supplies as we could offering good prices to deprive the GMG of as much military power as we could. I told them to wait for me in the docks. I had to get to those labs and retrieve some of the technology that they were researching to let Rheinland know what they were up against. I managed to get to the labs and get some weird crystal like things that were definatley a sample of whetever they were researching. I loaded up three trollies and carted them to the dock. Just as we were loading them onto the Transports a security alert went off. The transports launched but my ship was already seized. So I hid in a small supply, that's when somthing fell on my head, I was knocked unconcious. I hope to hell the transports got away.

I woke up some time later but the alarm had stopped. I slipped out of the cupboard and no-one was in sight, not a single person. I headed for my ship, it was still there but no-one was watching it. The place was deserted. I got in the cockpit and began launching precedures, the hangar doors were locked down. That's when I heard a loud female automated voice say. SELF DESTRUCTION OF WEIMAR T MINUS 5 MINUTES. On My scanner i could see multiple Rheinland Military Ships outside and a few GMG fighters. The GMG had fled Weimar and taken as much military resources as they could carry.

That was when I wrote this, I just hope Rheinland never get to see whatever the GMG had in store for them. I will jettisson my flight computer because the transmission to the Daumann satellite is not complete and the station will blow up before it's finished.

I hope those Rheinland Ships get clear of the station or they will be as dead as me. Whoever you are Rheinland must know of GMG and their technology, make it your highest priority or this war will last for at least 80 years.
