Good morning, comrades!
Today I am happy to report that I have successfully completed the Kursk's first shakedown run since her return to active duty with the Revolutionary Army's fleet!
We began our patrol mission in the New Moscow system, where we came across a Pilgrim Liner, The CPS Apana, bearing Coalition transponder codes. The crew of that ship transferred an escape pod to us that contained a humanoid life-form that we got some very strange readings from. With that in mind, I elected that it would be best for the safety of The Kursk and her crew, as well as any other Coalition citizens, to simply destroy the pod, and so that's what was done.
After some time, we made our way into the Stuttgart system, where we ran across a Freelancer transport by the name of Monta Selene. We let them know that their protection was our duty, the duty of all Coalition Military officers, and explained that the House military couldn't be trusted. A brief audio transcript follows:
After this, we made our way to the New Berlin system where a Red Hessian capital ship, The RHC Yggdrasil commanded by Brigadegeneral Liang Meng was keen to greet us. She also passed on something of a warning about a woman called Marry Dross, which I thought it prudent to share here as well, for review by High Command, even if it turns out to be nothing.
After monitoring the tradelanes and conversing with General Meng for quite some time, I ordered The Kursk to proceed back to the New Moscow System, in order to conclude our patrol mission.
This concludes my report.
For The Coalition, For The Red Dawn!
Lieutenant Vaschenko, signing off.
