Guten Abend Officers,

During a routine patrol aboard the RNC-Sprotte through the Hamburg system i came across something that, quite frankly, left me with more questions than answers.

Initially i conversed with an Orbital Spa and Cruise liner, the 'Red Velvet Club', under command of Frau Caitlyn Cross near Planet Hamburg. Nothing out of the ordinary there, scans showed various quality goods associated with luxury liners as well as countless travelers. The transcript of the conversation between Frau Cross and me can be added if requested.

An unidentified vessel approached quickly, maintaining radio silence while doing so. Its distinctive shape that of a Liberty Defender on closer yet unfortunately short inspection.
It passed both the Red Velvet Club as well as the RNC-Sprotte and proceeded to take the trade lane to Alster Shipyard, where i lost it. I checked the jump gate to New Berlin, but there were no traces.

Returning to the Red Velvet Club in order to ask for any potential footage from their side, the unidentified craft showed up again. After being instructed to halt, it instead proceeded to head for the Nordheide. I gave chase and ordered it to identify itself - which it refused.
I then opted to keep the pilot engaged in conversation with me, while the flight trajectory was being analyzed. Its course led to a jump hole - fearing it could escape before any useful intel could be secured, i decided to continue the pursuit despite the navigational challenges of the Nordheide.

As, at that time, interim kommandant of the RNC-Sprotte, i take full responsibility for potential damage to Rheinwehr property during this maneuver. Our shields withstood the barrage of asteroids and first damage reports turned up negative, while the sensor array managed to get a clear scan shortly after the first sign of compliance.

Now confirmed to be an LSF vessel armed with experimental Nomad technology, our conversation was suddenly cut short. Allegedly the mission had to be continued - so it jumped. We reluctantly followed - the jump hole connects to the Bering system. Once again, there were no traces of the LSF vessel in immediate vicinity of the jump hole. With no further option to reliably follow the target, we returned back to Hamburg and monitored the conventional jump gate for an extended period of time. For a third time the Red Velvet Club crossed our path, a chance i used to inquire about the LSF vessel. It had not been spotted by the cruise liner in my absence, therefore chances are said vessel left Rheinland space for the time being.
The occasional Freelancer aside, nothing noteworthy turned up on our scanners afterwards.

After the gathered data had been sufficiently compiled, i immediately filed this report.
I wish to point out Orbital Spa and Cruise's excellent cooperation during this encounter, as well as refer to Flieger Hans Klein and something he told me during an earlier patrol.
Hamburg seemed, according to Flieger Klein, uncharacteristically quiet.
This and the recent sighting of an LSF vessel in Hamburg might correlate.

Compiled intel

Code:
[10.09.2022 22:24:14] RNC-Sprotte: Traudel: *The woman listens - intently. Nodding here and there.* I ... did in fact, yes. Was one of the longest campaigns.

[10.09.2022 22:24:57] Classified.: *maintaining radio silent*

[10.09.2022 22:25:05] RNC-Sprotte: Traudel: Nothing to repair and cut off from the main fleet. We... 

[10.09.2022 22:25:52] RNC-Sprotte: Traudel: Excuse me a short moment, Frau Cross. I better double check.

[10.09.2022 22:26:45] OS&C|TE~Red~Velvet~Club: Cait: Sure no Problem.

[10.09.2022 22:27:00] OS&C|TE~Red~Velvet~Club: *she smiled as she Listens to her Ship and the sounds it makes*

Code:
[10.09.2022 22:30:50] RNC-Sprotte: Traudel: Say, Frau Cross, you don't happen to have footage of the radio silent vessel, which passed here a bit ago?

[10.09.2022 22:32:16] OS&C|TE~Red~Velvet~Club: Cait: not realy, did it have something iligal?

[10.09.2022 22:32:42] OS&C|TE~Red~Velvet~Club: Cait: we dont scan other ships if we are not oposed by a Enemy.

[10.09.2022 22:32:54] RNC-Sprotte: Traudel: Unknown, was gone too fast. We-... halt.

[10.09.2022 22:33:13] Classified.: *silent*

[10.09.2022 22:33:37] RNC-Sprotte: ?: Unkown Vessel - identify yourself.

[10.09.2022 22:33:49] Classified.: "Negative."

[10.09.2022 22:34:30] RNC-Sprotte: ?: Reason for denial of identification request?

[10.09.2022 22:34:51] Classified.: "That's classified intel."

[10.09.2022 22:35:31] RNC-Sprotte: ?: Of course it is. You are in Rheinland space - i ask you once again. Identify yourself.

[10.09.2022 22:36:13] Classified.: "I can be wherever i'm required to be. Classified remains classified regardless."

[10.09.2022 22:37:21] RNC-Sprotte: ?: Interesting. Prepare to be scanned...unless you refuse that as well. Then it get's really interesting.

[10.09.2022 22:37:50] Classified.: "I suppose you can have that, at least."

[10.09.2022 22:38:03] RNC-Sprotte: ?: ... cooperation. Excellent. Commencing scan...

[10.09.2022 22:39:04] RNC-Sprotte: ?: ... captivating choice of weaponry. 

[10.09.2022 22:39:40] Classified.: "Huh."

[10.09.2022 22:40:45] Classified.: "Right, i must go on with my mission."

[10.09.2022 22:41:15] RNC-Sprotte: ?: That makes this a peculiar situation. Nomad technology is restricted in Rheinland space. I have to insist on escorting you -

[10.09.2022 22:41:25] RNC-Sprotte: out of the system.

[10.09.2022 22:41:41] RNC-Sprotte: ?: ... vessel has left scanner- range.
