Good Evening Gentlemen

I bring a report of activity from the Omega 3 system and (to a lesser extent) the Cambridge system. You will have to forgive me, but due to the unorthodox nature of today's activity I am unable to provide full and accurate times. Suffice to say that our patrol began at 5 bells (10:30 PM) and ended at 2 bells the next morning (1 am).

Our members were:
Myself (Lt Cdr Victor Steiner)
HMS-Black Claymore
HMS-Poseidon
BPA) Officer Waldorf Salad
BMF|FS The Anvil (Name of Pilot still unknown).

The patrol started as any normal day would, we were keeping the Corsairs down in Omega 3 when we received a message from the Poseidon (Who was in New London at the time) that a Hessian had somehow managed to sneak its way into New London. It did not take us long to chase it out into the border worlds. At that time an Ion Storm was expected so I called off the hunt and all ships to dock. Following the Ion storm we returned to space and were immediately greeted by the sight of another Hessian (Cruiser) legging its way past Planet Sprague. We gave chase, but unfortunately the hessian had too greater lead on us and we lost it.

A moments peace was broken when the HMS-Black Claymore reported that there was a BDM Vessel by the Freeport. As the ranking officer I went over to have a word with our Rhineland friend. He argued that he was in Omega 3 for the purposes of tracking and killing Hessians. He also Believed that the Hessians may have a base in either O-3 or Cambridge. I informed him that such activity would need to be cleared by either the Bretonian Government or by a ranking member of BAF High Command. He gave me some line about ''The process of doing which may void the element required in spotting the convoys that will lead me to their installation.''
Oddly, as soon as he said that a Hessian undocked from the Freeport and we gave chase, HMS-Poseidon and HMS-Black Claymore were sent into Cambridge to deal with the Hessian cruiser who came back. After a brief chase, the BDM and I had a short skirmish with the Hessian before he retreated into the Omega 9 system. The BDM gave chase and destroyed the hessian soon after. He returned to O-3 where I took his details.

Name: Operative Nachteule (Last name Unknown/not given)
Rank: Special Agent.
Gender: Male
Shortly after the Rheinlander left, the HMS-Black Claymore came across an arms smuggler by the name of ''Plymouth''. I made contact with the vessel and ordered him to drop his cargo, twice. He refused, twice, and was therefore shot down. Credit for the Kill goes to the HMS-Black Claymore.
The claymore and I then re-joined our fellows HMS-Poseidon and the BMF ship. No sooner had we done so, our radar showed the Hessians back in O-3. I called in support to track their movements by contacting BPA) officer Waldorf Salad who came out from New London. When he arrived he managed to locate the Hessian Cruiser ''Vandal'' but was promptly destroyed. The rest of us, including a FL-ER pilot by the name of Jethro Gibbs engaged the target, killing him (Killed by HMS-Poseidon). Pilot Gibbs was given payment for his assistance. Sometime later, the other Hessian, going by the name of ''Huligan'' was located by the Black Claymore and Killed as well.
Following these events Omega-3 is quiet. Although I am somewhat concerned that such activity happened all at once. But I leave this knowledge of events in your care.

Yours in service:
Lt Cdr Victor Steiner.
