I come bearing troubling and unfortunate news. On a patrol in the Thuringia system, I came across an unknown transmission, stating the vessel was lost in an unknown system. Cruising to the estimated location of the transmission, I came across a damaged Liberty gunboat, the LNS-Slayer. Belonging to the First Armada. The gunboat claimed to have been lead here by a Rogue smuggler. His proof being the remains and cardamine in front of me. I took him with suspicion, due to his presence in the classified Thuringia system. I called an alert, and waited for reinforcements to arrive. He tried to ask questions as to where our location was, but I made sure not to give away anything. Sure enough, the RNC Hamburg and some fighter escorts came to my signal. After we interrogated him on his intentions in the area, we escorted him out of the system. However, we made sure to wipe all navigational data, recordings, and anything else that could lead to knowledge of the system.
This encounter has been very concerning, that a Liberty vessel, no less a Gunboat, could stumble into the system randomly. The logs of the encounter has been set down below.
Für den Kaiser! Für das Volk! Für Rheinland!

[12.09.2022 18:28:53] 1st|LNS-Slayer: We have followed a Cardamine smuggler through an unknown jumphole
[12.09.2022 18:28:56] [RM]Fl.Jurgen.Schmidt: Do you have any idea of this space?
[12.09.2022 18:29:01] 1st|LNS-Slayer: Negative
[12.09.2022 18:29:11] 1st|LNS-Slayer: The jump hole was uncharted, we merely followed the dangerous smuggler
[12.09.2022 18:29:21] 1st|LNS-Slayer: As you can see there is evidence left after the vessel
[12.09.2022 18:29:35] 1st|LNS-Slayer: Where might we find ourselves presently please?
[12.09.2022 18:30:13] [RM]Fl.Jurgen.Schmidt: We will wait for the others, "The Hamburg" will arrive, and it shall decide upon our next actions
[12.09.2022 18:30:21] 1st|LNS-Slayer: And our location is?
[12.09.2022 18:30:29] 1st|LNS-Slayer: I am assuming with your presence we are near Rheinland?
[12.09.2022 18:30:33] [RM]Fl.Jurgen.Schmidt: That is classified, as I said
[12.09.2022 18:30:47] 1st|LNS-Slayer: :lifts hands: no need for us to know, we got the smuggler
[12.09.2022 18:31:05] 1st|LNS-Slayer: You may collect the Cardamine and Liberty Rogues as Evidence for your files
[12.09.2022 18:31:34] [RM]Fl.Jurgen.Schmidt: Hey
[12.09.2022 18:31:41] [RM]Fl.Jurgen.Schmidt: Do not move your vessel
[12.09.2022 18:32:11] [RM]Fl.Jurgen.Schmidt: Stay put, we will help you soon enough
[12.09.2022 18:32:39] 1st|LNS-Slayer: Excellent, we lost our navigational array in the hard fought battle
[12.09.2022 18:32:51] [RM]Fl.Jurgen.Schmidt: Well, that makes my job a lot easier
[12.09.2022 18:33:08] 1st|LNS-Slayer: Well, we cannot get back without you, so we are in your hands
[12.09.2022 18:33:22] 1st|LNS-Slayer: It was an unknown jump hole previously uncharted we followed the Rogue through
[12.09.2022 18:33:26] [RM]Fl.Jurgen.Schmidt: Guten tag, Hamburg
[12.09.2022 18:33:30] [RM]KKS-Hamburg: K: Guten tag, Flieger your reinforcements arrived.
[12.09.2022 18:34:02] [RM]Fl.Jurgen.Schmidt: Sehr gut, this libertarian said he was following a smuggler
[12.09.2022 18:34:07] 1st|LNS-Slayer: CO: Good day! May I please speak to the Commanding Officer
[12.09.2022 18:34:55] [RM]KKS-Hamburg: K: Just continue the comm with Herrn Schmidt.
[12.09.2022 18:35:08] [RM]Fl.Jurgen.Schmidt: Guten tag, Herr Habermeyer
[12.09.2022 18:35:12] 1st|LNS-Slayer: I believe we have given the encounter recorded
[12.09.2022 18:35:25] 1st|LNS-Slayer: We have engaged a Liberty Rogue Heavily Armed Frigate in Bering
[12.09.2022 18:35:41] 1st|LNS-Slayer: The battle continued through to us an unknown uncharted Jump Hole
[12.09.2022 18:35:54] 1st|LNS-Slayer: We have emerged victorious as you can see, with our navigational array damaged
[12.09.2022 18:36:06] 1st|LNS-Slayer: Present is evidence of the dispatched smuggler, Cardamine and Liberty Rogues
[12.09.2022 18:36:27] 1st|LNS-Slayer: By your presence I assume we might have entered unknowingly Rheinland space mid battle
[12.09.2022 18:36:56] 1st|LNS-Slayer: Cardamine and Liberty Rogues are present, to be collected for evidence
[12.09.2022 18:37:16] 1st|LNS-Slayer: We are awaiting your instructions, we have been briefed that we will not be told what system this is
[12.09.2022 18:37:31] [RM]KKS-Hamburg: K: Checking Cargo.
[12.09.2022 18:37:57] 1st|LNS-Slayer: As you can imagine, we just couldn't let him flee with this stuff
[12.09.2022 18:38:07] [RM]Fl.Jurgen.Schmidt: What concerns me is the smugglers knowledge of this system...
[12.09.2022 18:38:10] 1st|LNS-Slayer: Thousands of people could become addicted or worse
[12.09.2022 18:38:32] [RM]Fl.Jurgen.Schmidt: Not Libertonian intelligence, simple smugglers...
[12.09.2022 18:38:35] 1st|LNS-Slayer: Well, seems like it, the jump hole was uncharted - we disabled the smuggler, now we just want to get back
[12.09.2022 18:38:50] [RM]KKS-Hamburg: K: I think this Navy guy speaks the trueth
[12.09.2022 18:38:56] 1st|LNS-Slayer: And we still do not know where we are...and let's face it, our job is done, we don't need to know
[12.09.2022 18:39:06] [RM]Fl.Jurgen.Schmidt: How far did you get into the system?
[12.09.2022 18:39:07] 1st|LNS-Slayer: Our patrol path is Bering
[12.09.2022 18:39:17] [RM]Fl.Traud.Habermeyer: Sector D4 around Bering Jump Hole is secure. No further contacts there. Standing by.
[12.09.2022 18:39:20] 1st|LNS-Slayer: We entered it and the battle ended here
[12.09.2022 18:39:32] 1st|LNS-Slayer: So wherever the uncharted hole is to this area where we won the hard fought battle
[12.09.2022 18:40:02] [RM]Fl.Jurgen.Schmidt: How far did you get into the system?
[12.09.2022 18:40:14] 1st|LNS-Slayer: Right here
[12.09.2022 18:40:22] [RM]Fl.Jurgen.Schmidt: I don't like the fact that they could RP a discovery of the system
[12.09.2022 18:40:32] 1st|LNS-Slayer: Where we fought the Frigate, as you can probably tell by the Debris, evidence and damage done to our vessel
[12.09.2022 18:41:02] 1st|LNS-Slayer: Where the jump hole is, we do not know, our navigational array was damaged
[12.09.2022 18:41:06] [RM]Fl.Jurgen.Schmidt: Thoughts, Hamburg?
[12.09.2022 18:41:21] 1st|LNS-Slayer: We traversed the distance from it to here as the Rogue Smuggler Frigate was fleeing mid battle
[12.09.2022 18:41:39] [RM]KKS-Hamburg: K: Also, for my knowledge this sounds all clear.
[12.09.2022 18:42:08] 1st|LNS-Slayer: We apologise if we over stepped our boundaries, the jump hole was uncharted, and this much cardamine could do a lot of damage
[12.09.2022 18:42:09] [RM]Fl.Jurgen.Schmidt: I would be inclined to run a scan through the navigational array, then let him go
[12.09.2022 18:42:22] [RM]Fl.Jurgen.Schmidt: With, of course, a watchlist on the sector in Bering
[12.09.2022 18:42:24] 1st|LNS-Slayer: We will require an escort to Bering or Hudson if possible
[12.09.2022 18:42:25] [RM]KKS-Hamburg: K: With a small Strafe you can get your way home.
[12.09.2022 18:42:32] [RM]Fl.Jurgen.Schmidt: And increased patrols for the time being
[12.09.2022 18:42:37] 1st|LNS-Slayer: Our navigational array has been damaged
[12.09.2022 18:42:46] 1st|LNS-Slayer: Feel free to keep the present evidence for your files
[12.09.2022 18:42:52] [RM]KKS-Hamburg: K: You will be escorted, for sure.
[12.09.2022 18:43:05] [RM]Fl.Traud.Habermeyer: Sir - if i may suggest? What little nav-data the array may have gathered. It should be wiped, before we depart ways.
[12.09.2022 18:43:05] [RM]Fl.Jurgen.Schmidt: Very well then
[12.09.2022 18:43:14] 1st|LNS-Slayer: We do not know where we are
[12.09.2022 18:43:19] 1st|LNS-Slayer: but the little we do know can be wiped
[12.09.2022 18:43:26] 1st|LNS-Slayer: We are not opposed to being boarded if you deem so necessary
[12.09.2022 18:43:47] 1st|LNS-Slayer: I may also suggest not to leave the cardamine in space to be found by other stray criminals
[12.09.2022 18:44:07] [RM]Fl.Jurgen.Schmidt: Evidence taken, we will terminate it after, libertonian.
[12.09.2022 18:44:26] 1st|LNS-Slayer: Excellent, standing by for orders.
[12.09.2022 18:44:29] [RM]Fl.Jurgen.Schmidt: Permission to authorize a navigational wipe?
[12.09.2022 18:44:37] 1st|LNS-Slayer: You are free to board the vessel
[12.09.2022 18:44:39] [RM]Fl.Traud.Habermeyer: To ensure proper wiping of any and all related nav-data to this system - Rheinland personal should be present to oversee.
[12.09.2022 18:44:43] 1st|LNS-Slayer: If you wish to do so yourself
[12.09.2022 18:45:14] [RM]KKS-Hamburg: K: Feel free you are following to Rheinland law's.
[12.09.2022 18:45:35] [RM]KKS-Hamburg: K: Herr Schmidt.
[12.09.2022 18:45:45] 1st|LNS-Slayer: Very well, data files wiped
[12.09.2022 18:45:59] NirFoo: H: *keeps a close eye*
[12.09.2022 18:46:09] 1st|LNS-Slayer: Do we have permission to log this conversation or should the records be wiped also
[12.09.2022 18:46:18] [RM]Fl.Jurgen.Schmidt: Hamburg?
[12.09.2022 18:46:26] 1st|LNS-Slayer: ]For our internal files of course
[12.09.2022 18:46:38] [RM]KKS-Hamburg: K: Everything you have seen here has to be termited.
[12.09.2022 18:46:55] [RM]KKS-Hamburg: K: Comms, Video materials. Everything.
[12.09.2022 18:47:07] [RM]KKS-Hamburg: K: If not, we have a problem.
[12.09.2022 18:47:10] NirFoo: why was he here?
[12.09.2022 18:47:15] 1st|LNS-Slayer: Very well - wiping all records :::erasing databanks and conversation logs:::
[12.09.2022 18:47:18] 1st|LNS-Slayer: :::recording off:::
[12.09.2022 18:47:21] [RM]Fl.Jurgen.Schmidt: chasing a smuggler
[12.09.2022 18:47:40] [RM]Fl.Jurgen.Schmidt: Shall we escort him out of the system, Hamburg?
[12.09.2022 18:47:41] [RM]KKS-Hamburg: K: And be sure, if we will find somewhere something from here.. well better dont ask.
[12.09.2022 18:47:43] 1st|LNS-Slayer: We are in the dark
[12.09.2022 18:47:50] 1st|LNS-Slayer: understood
[12.09.2022 18:47:53] NirFoo: H: Next time there is a smuggler in our territory, report to us bitte.
[12.09.2022 18:48:04] 1st|LNS-Slayer: Of course, as you can see, he was hard to take down
[12.09.2022 18:48:13] 1st|LNS-Slayer: And we had no idea we where the uncharted hole lead
[12.09.2022 18:48:22] [RM]KKS-Hamburg: K: Sure if the Liberatonian can pay a small escort payment of 500.000 S.C.
[12.09.2022 18:48:24] 1st|LNS-Slayer: And as we are deleting the logs, we will not know
[12.09.2022 18:48:44] 1st|LNS-Slayer: Fee transferred
[12.09.2022 18:49:06] NirFoo: H: Danke fur your coorperation LNS-Slayer
[12.09.2022 18:49:12] [RM]KKS-Hamburg: K: Got it, Herr Schmidt you can Escort this vessel out of here!
[12.09.2022 18:49:17] 1st|LNS-Slayer: We thank you
[12.09.2022 18:49:18] [RM]Fl.Jurgen.Schmidt: Very well then
[12.09.2022 18:49:23] [RM]Fl.Jurgen.Schmidt: Follow us
[12.09.2022 18:49:29] 1st|LNS-Slayer: Understood
[12.09.2022 18:49:33] [RM]Fl.Jurgen.Schmidt: Herr Habermeyer, you may also come
[12.09.2022 18:49:34] 1st|LNS-Slayer: All logs are purged
[12.09.2022 18:49:47] NirFoo: und ich?
[12.09.2022 18:49:57] [RM]Fl.Jurgen.Schmidt: Well, all escorts may come aswell
[12.09.2022 18:50:07] [RM]KKS-Hamburg: K: Give Schmidt a hand.
[12.09.2022 18:50:56] 1st|LNS-Slayer: This we know! Thank you for the assistance
[12.09.2022 18:51:09] 1st|LNS-Slayer: We have detected large Smuggling rate increase in Liberty
[12.09.2022 18:51:14] [RM]Fl.Jurgen.Schmidt: Sehr gut. You shall proceed then to the Texas system
[12.09.2022 18:51:14] 1st|LNS-Slayer: It is well possible Bering is affected
[12.09.2022 18:51:32] 1st|LNS-Slayer: Of course, we require repairs after the battle
[12.09.2022 18:51:34] [RM]Fl.Jurgen.Schmidt: If there are any reports of smuggling, please report them to us.
[12.09.2022 18:51:40] [RM]Fl.Jurgen.Schmidt: Guten abend, Libertonian!
[12.09.2022 18:51:42] [RM]Fl.Traud.Habermeyer: We'll keep an eye on this among our own borders.Your compliance has ben noted.
[12.09.2022 18:51:44] 1st|LNS-Slayer: We are trying tro catch them in California mostly
[12.09.2022 18:51:51] NirFoo: Safe skies, Libertonian
[12.09.2022 18:51:51] 1st|LNS-Slayer: But they must come from *somewhere*
[12.09.2022 18:51:58] 1st|LNS-Slayer: Thank you for the assistance!
[12.09.2022 18:53:07] NirFoo: *Returning patrol*
[12.09.2022 18:54:11] [RM]Fl.Traud.Habermeyer: Herr Schneider? *The woman sounds thoughtful* ... this is concerning for several reasons.
[12.09.2022 18:54:21] [RM]Fl.Jurgen.Schmidt: Very...
[12.09.2022 18:54:28] [RM]Fl.Jurgen.Schmidt: I did not like that at all.
[12.09.2022 18:54:44] [RM]Fl.Traud.Habermeyer: Have you already read a former report of mine from the Hamburg incident?
[12.09.2022 18:55:02] [RM]Fl.Jurgen.Schmidt: I found the document, yes
[12.09.2022 18:55:15] [RM]Fl.Traud.Habermeyer: ... LSF presence in Hamburg. Now Navy here.
[12.09.2022 18:55:19] [RM]Fl.Jurgen.Schmidt: I found the report of LSF patrol in Hamburg disturbing, at least
[12.09.2022 18:56:08] [RM]Fl.Jurgen.Schmidt: This will be required to be handed to the higher-ups, although increased patrols we be in order, I assume
[12.09.2022 18:56:36] [RM]Fl.Traud.Habermeyer: I even encountered Bundschuh with Herr Klein yesterday in New Berlin. Something might be amiss.
[12.09.2022 18:57:27] [RM]Fl.Jurgen.Schmidt: That aswell as the increase in Bering patrols
[12.09.2022 18:57:35] [RM]Fl.Jurgen.Schmidt: And... the unfortunate leaked documents...
[12.09.2022 18:57:57] [RM]Fl.Traud.Habermeyer: Le-... *She cuts herself off.*
[12.09.2022 18:58:08] MFN|Michael: M:Guten Tag [RM]Fl.Traud.Habermeyer!
[12.09.2022 18:58:10] [RM]Fl.Jurgen.Schmidt: Aswell as the Insurgency campaign, this has all been very disturbing. And will require further investigation by the MND.
[12.09.2022 18:58:12] [RM]Fl.Traud.Habermeyer: Guten Tag, Daumann vessel.
[12.09.2022 18:59:03] [RM]Fl.Jurgen.Schmidt: Liberty appears to be attempting to amount itself to a superpower
[12.09.2022 18:59:35] [RM]Fl.Traud.Habermeyer: Who doesn't? But they seem to be doing that in the wrong direction. This is our space.
[12.09.2022 18:59:56] [RM]Fl.Jurgen.Schmidt: It very much is. It would be the equivalent of our vessels entering Zone-21
[12.09.2022 19:00:15] [RM]Fl.Jurgen.Schmidt: However, I must report it
[12.09.2022 19:00:22] [RM]Fl.Jurgen.Schmidt: Guten abend, Habermeyer
[12.09.2022 19:00:27] [RM]Fl.Traud.Habermeyer: The evidence was there, granted. I scanned it. Yet that could've been fabricated.
[12.09.2022 19:00:33] [RM]Fl.Traud.Habermeyer: Guten Abend, Herr Schmidt.
Hochachtungsvoll,
Jurgen Schmidt
