Guten Tag,

Yesterday, I underwent my first proper 'patrol', as it were. It was a little more eventful than I'd expected, especially from a first outing - but that isn't to say it didn't go well. Following reports of a disturbance in the Frankfurt system, I was dispatched there in my newly-assigned Wraith. As was en route, though, it became clear that the 'disturbance' was resolving into something decidedly more serious. I was patched into a comms channel with four other Primary Fleet pilots: Marco Schulz, Sam Hauser, Kaitlyn May and Heinrich Ritter. At this point, I became aware that the exact nature of the reports concerned a minor Bundschuh patrol, numbering around five or six vessels in total.

The patrol was intercepted in close proximity to Holstein, between the planet and the Taunusfeld. After a brief, terse exchange of dialogue, the Bundschuh pilots decided to engage our wing. A brief and explosive skirmish followed, during which both sides took losses. My flight recorder reports that three takedowns were scored, the records of which are listed below:

During the battle, my Wraith's systems indicated only minor damage sustained. Nevertheless, I had it listed for a full systems check upon my return to the Strausberg, just in case any vital systems had sustained malfunctions - or at least, for anything that the onboard maintenance nanites could not patch up by themselves.

Hochachtungsvoll,
Flieger Erika Winter
