Captain Uemura Sukejuro on-board heavy unit Shirayuki speaking.
Battle-group Shirayuki departed from Honshu system and headed towards Helgoland station, where an IMG convoy was encountered. The personnel of the convoy appeared to be afraid of an unconfirmed threat, while several ships belonging to criminal organizations such as the Order were roaming in the vicinity.

As the area seemed to be all clear, the battle-group then moved to Frankfurt jump-gate, acknowledging its disrupted state, despite no apparent damage visible to the superstructure.

Course was set towards Frankfurt jump-hole. Jump lead us right into a battle between Rheinland Military and a very large Alien vessel. The battle-group assisted Rheinland Military in its destruction. Battle-cruiser Shirayuki was significantly damaged in the process, forcing us to move to planet Holstein gravity well to request emergency repairs.

We could exchange shortly with members of Rheinland Military, who have been quite reluctant to answer our inquiries regarding the incident reported in Frankfurt system, as seen bellow :

[KNF]KDS-Shirayuki: Hail. May we have a word?
[RM-RNC]Fredegunde: Radio Operator: Das ist das Fredegunde. Guten tag... With the kapitan?
[KNF]KDS-Shirayuki: Hai. If possible.
[RM-RNC]Fredegunde: RO: Ein moment...
[KNF]KDS-Shirayuki: Thank you.
[RM-RNC]Fredegunde: Kossuth: This is Kapitan Klemens Kossuth to the Shirayuki. Ja?
[KNF]KDS-Shirayuki: Well met, Captain Klemens. Kusari Admiralty would like to inquire about the events which occured in Frankfurt system lately. We heard reports of an attack..?
BDM|Kvt-H,Lichthammer: Guten tag Naval forces
[KNF]KDS-Shirayuki: Konbanwa.
Karasu.no.Kage,(KNI): Good day agent.
[RM-RNC]Fredegunde: Kossuth: Give me your rank, name and surname before we continue, bitte.
[KNF]KDS-Shirayuki: Naturally. I am Captain Uemura Sukejuro.
BDM|Kvt-H,Lichthammer: It is Korvettenkapetan now,I have seen Order presence in the area.
[KNF]KDS-Shirayuki: So did we in Sigma 13 as well. Several fighter class vessels.
[RM-RNC]Fredegunde: Kossuth: Danke, Captain Sukejuro.
BDM|Kvt-H,Lichthammer: I have green light to engage them ,but we better stay idle until nomad threat is dealt with.
[KNF]KDS-Shirayuki: My apologies, Sukejuro is the firstname. Uemura it is then.
BDM|Kvt-H,Lichthammer: We are thankful for your support.
[RM-RNC]Fredegunde: Kossuth: Captain Sukejuro, I expected you to know that I cannot share such information with anyone outside of the Rheinland Military.
Karasu.no.Kage,(KNI): Then it is not to you who we need to talk to.
[RM-RNC]Fredegunde: Kossuth: Nein.
[KNF]KDS-Shirayuki: I can understand your reservations. However if events were caused by organizations having a presence in House Kusari, it would probably be wise to let us know.
[RM-RNC]Fredegunde: Kossuth: I was clear. There is arbeit to do. Have a nice day. Auf wiedersehn.
[KNF]KDS-Shirayuki: Very well. Thank you for your time, Kapitan.

The battle-group then headed to Fulda station for further investigation. A peculiar but not never heard of green mist could be seen. Shirayuki proceeded with quick scans of the area before heading back to Sigma 13.
It is to note several hostile contacts engaged the battle-group in the vicinity of Fulda border station. Those ships were of Gas Miner Guild design. Several prisoners have been captured and will be interrogated very soon.

Those details are quite strange. What could trigger GMG to attack House Rheinland? Furthermore, if they did such a bold move, wouldn't that be wiser to not be identified as the aggressor?
All this might be an operation undertaken by foreign powers to destabilize the region, using the GMG as scapegoats.

I do hope the questioning of our prisoners will allow us to understand better the situation at hand. That said, I do believe agent Karasu no kage of the Kusari Naval Intelligence will send his own report regarding this operation.
