Guten Abend Officers,
i made a troubling discovery in the Ruhrfeld. During a routine patrol, i picked up a large energy reading coming from sector B4, heading to C4 and Kreuzberg Depot. Upon further investigation, it turned out to be a Coalition vessel of considerable size. It kept its comm channels silent, no reaction to me hailing it. I relayed my findings to the system fleet and an MND agent i met earlier - but help arrived too late to investigate further. I lost the Coalition vessel near Kreuzberg Depot.
[10.10.2022 19:25:40] [RM]Bmn.Trau.Habermeyer: Now what is this?
[10.10.2022 19:26:28] BDM|Agt.Franz_Mueller: I am very sorry, die Dame
[10.10.2022 19:27:19] [RM]Bmn.Trau.Habermeyer: No need to, Agent. You might want to relay some information ... we got Coalition in the Ruhrfeld...
[10.10.2022 19:27:40] 2022-10-10 19:27:46 SMT Traffic control alert: -Red-October- has requested to dock
[10.10.2022 19:30:21] [RM]RNC-Ostkantone: C: Gutentag Bootsman Habermeyer! Is it true? Coalition, here?
[10.10.2022 19:30:36] [RM]Bmn.Trau.Habermeyer: Ostkantone, Agent. The Coalition vessel docked at Kreuzberg depot.
[10.10.2022 19:30:42] [RM]Bmn.Trau.Habermeyer: It is true indeed.
[10.10.2022 19:30:57] [RM]RNC-Ostkantone: C: That is worrysome
[10.10.2022 19:31:16] BDM|Agt.Franz_Mueller: Any infos about the type of Ship and numbers ?
[10.10.2022 19:32:00] [RM]Bmn.Trau.Habermeyer: ... i refused to get closer, but it's size hints at a bigger cruiser ... or potentially even a battleship. I only got vague
[10.10.2022 19:32:07] [RM]Bmn.Trau.Habermeyer: visuals on it, before it was gone around these parts.
[10.10.2022 19:32:13] [RM]Bmn.Trau.Habermeyer: No reaction whatsoever to me hailing it.
[10.10.2022 19:32:52] [RM]RNC-Ostkantone: C: I suppose they aren't this far for a chat
[10.10.2022 19:33:09] [RM]Bmn.Trau.Habermeyer: Ja, i am afraid they are not...´
[10.10.2022 19:34:53] [RM]RNC-Ostkantone: C: Well, back to patrol duty i guess..
[10.10.2022 19:34:55] BDM|Agt.Franz_Mueller: I wonder what they are doing here. And how they got so deep into Rheinland space
[10.10.2022 19:34:57] [RM]Bmn.Trau.Habermeyer: I am concerned, to put it mildly. So many different factions reaching our core system here...
[10.10.2022 19:35:17] [RM]RNC-Ostkantone: C: There must be jumpholes we don't know about
[10.10.2022 19:35:45] [RM]Bmn.Trau.Habermeyer: Patrols have to be increased even more by the looks of it.
[10.10.2022 19:36:28] BDM|Agt.Franz_Mueller: I think it is time for me to visit Omega-54 again
[10.10.2022 19:36:55] [RM]Bmn.Trau.Habermeyer: I was on my way to Bering. Where is your respective routes or tasks leading you, meine Herren?
[10.10.2022 19:36:59] [RM]Bmn.Trau.Habermeyer: Omega-54?
[10.10.2022 19:37:12] BDM|Agt.Franz_Mueller: 52
[10.10.2022 19:37:15] BDM|Agt.Franz_Mueller: i am sorry
[10.10.2022 19:37:49] [RM]Bmn.Trau.Habermeyer: *Traudel blinks.* ... ah... eh, heh. In any way, too far for me to go anyway i am afraid. Suppose BDM can go quite a bit
[10.10.2022 19:37:52] [RM]Bmn.Trau.Habermeyer: further than little old me.
[10.10.2022 19:38:00] [RM]RNC-Ostkantone: C: I was on standard patrol until i got your report. I'll go back to patrol duty...
[10.10.2022 19:38:27] [RM]Bmn.Trau.Habermeyer: But i could at least follow to Omega-7.
[10.10.2022 19:38:37] [RM]Bmn.Trau.Habermeyer: Certainly, Ostkantone. Good seeing you again.
[10.10.2022 19:38:54] BDM|Agt.Franz_Mueller: Alright than safe flights to both of you
[10.10.2022 19:38:58] [RM]RNC-Ostkantone: C: likewise folks, safe skies to the both of you
[10.10.2022 19:39:20] [RM]Bmn.Trau.Habermeyer: Very well.
[10.10.2022 19:39:23] [RM]Bmn.Trau.Habermeyer: Auf wiedersehen.
Taking position at Essen Station, i decided to scan and question incoming or outgoing travelers for potentially helpful information regarding the sighting, without giving away troubling details. Nothing connected to the Coalition ship could be found out, however. I met a Bounty Hunter, a Freelancer, a Junker and a Kruger transport. All their cargo and equipment was in order. Even the slight damages on the Kruger vessel were nothing more but irradiated scratches from their last trip.
[10.10.2022 19:41:37] [RM]Bmn.Trau.Habermeyer: Welcome to New Berlin, Bounty Hunter.
[10.10.2022 19:41:52] Eila.I.Juutilainen: Hello. The gesture's appreciated.
[10.10.2022 19:42:05] Eila.I.Juutilainen: Rheinland's hospitable as ever.
[10.10.2022 19:42:22] [RM]Bmn.Trau.Habermeyer: We try our best to be that way. May i ask where you came from? Hamburg i take it?
[10.10.2022 19:42:32] Eila.I.Juutilainen: That's correct.
[10.10.2022 19:42:43] [RM]Bmn.Trau.Habermeyer: Anything out of the ordinary there by any chance?
[10.10.2022 19:42:44] Eila.I.Juutilainen: Any reason you ask, officer?
[10.10.2022 19:43:06] Eila.I.Juutilainen: I couldn't tell, I came from the border station.
[10.10.2022 19:43:17] [RM]Bmn.Trau.Habermeyer: Personal interest as well as duty. We had a few sightings of unwanted 'guests' there, let's put it that way.
[10.10.2022 19:43:25] [RM]Bmn.Trau.Habermeyer: Welcome to New Berlin, Freelancer.
[10.10.2022 19:43:41] Warhol: Greetings
[10.10.2022 19:43:54] Eila.I.Juutilainen: Hello, 'Lancer.
[10.10.2022 19:43:56] Warhol: This system is safe?
[10.10.2022 19:44:08] Eila.I.Juutilainen: And about the unwanted guests... haven't seen any.
[10.10.2022 19:44:15] [RM]Bmn.Trau.Habermeyer: Absolutely - the heart of Rheinland stands as secure and safe as ever.
[10.10.2022 19:44:31] Warhol: thank, good day sirs
[10.10.2022 19:45:31] [RM]Bmn.Trau.Habermeyer: Not seen any? Good news in that case, at least. I suppose work brings you here?
[10.10.2022 19:46:10] Eila.I.Juutilainen: A hope there'd be some, and some sentimental feelings.
[10.10.2022 19:46:32] Eila.I.Juutilainen: I used to be a part of a Hunters commune living and operating from Hamburg.
[10.10.2022 19:46:49] Eila.I.Juutilainen: It didn't last long but it was good times nonetheless.
[10.10.2022 19:47:01] [RM]Bmn.Trau.Habermeyer: ... sentimental feelings? *The Rheinwehr pilot tilts her head a bit - then nods* Ohhh, i see. Just developed into
[10.10.2022 19:47:06] [RM]Bmn.Trau.Habermeyer: different directions i hope?
[10.10.2022 19:47:19] [RM]Bmn.Trau.Habermeyer: Instead of ... well. It disbanding due to more serious reasons?
[10.10.2022 19:50:30] Eila.I.Juutilainen: Well, I am here now, and pretty much everyone got a comfortable amount of credits after... retirement, so that's one way to put
[10.10.2022 19:50:31] Eila.I.Juutilainen: it.
[10.10.2022 19:51:21] [RM]Bmn.Trau.Habermeyer: Fair enough, fine with me. This is in no kind any specific form of interrogation, i am just naturally nosy. Pardon me, Hunter.
[10.10.2022 19:51:55] [RM]Bmn.Trau.Habermeyer: Hah. *Amused.* You don't happen to know of another Bounty Hunter's Guild affiliated group called 'Hitmen'?
[10.10.2022 19:52:03] Eila.I.Juutilainen: Don't sweat it. Doesn't feel like an interrogation anyway...
[10.10.2022 19:52:20] Eila.I.Juutilainen: ...Hitman, huh? Never came across them.
[10.10.2022 19:52:40] [RM]Bmn.Trau.Habermeyer: Then i did everything right, glad to hear it. *Once more a short nod.* Mhhhhm, ja. Assumed as much. They apparently dwindled in
[10.10.2022 19:52:42] [RM]Bmn.Trau.Habermeyer: numbers.
[10.10.2022 19:53:09] [RM]Bmn.Trau.Habermeyer: I come across one of them quite regularly... say, are you going to stay a bit in Rheinland?
[10.10.2022 19:55:11] Eila.I.Juutilainen: Yes, I believe I will. Why?
[10.10.2022 19:56:19] [RM]Bmn.Trau.Habermeyer: Ahh, excellent. I believe meeting a fellow Hunter might cheer my dear friend up again.
[10.10.2022 19:56:31] [RM]Bmn.Trau.Habermeyer: Let's say ... he has quite a lot to come to terms with currently.
[10.10.2022 19:57:36] Eila.I.Juutilainen: Well, I'm definitely not the more cheerful person around, but I'll see what I can do if I meet... them.
[10.10.2022 19:58:27] Eila.I.Juutilainen: *not the most
[10.10.2022 19:58:42] [RM]Bmn.Trau.Habermeyer: Even better. *Amused.* Already sounds like a good fit. His name is Lock. Should fate deem it so, just tell him Traudel said
[10.10.2022 19:58:59] [RM]Bmn.Trau.Habermeyer: Hallo.
[10.10.2022 19:59:53] Eila.I.Juutilainen: Will do.
[10.10.2022 20:01:07] [RM]Bmn.Trau.Habermeyer: Wunderbar. Do tell me if i keep you from anything, wouldn't want to keep a potential bounty contract from happening now.
[10.10.2022 20:02:15] Eila.I.Juutilainen: Ah, no, no, I don't have anything important going on now. Hunters aren't all about running and hunting delinquents, you know.
[10.10.2022 20:02:56] [RM]Bmn.Trau.Habermeyer: There is always the public imagine... and then comes the reality. Very relatable, actually. Some say the times in between the
[10.10.2022 20:03:01] [RM]Bmn.Trau.Habermeyer: action are the real challenges along the way.
[10.10.2022 20:06:28] Eila.I.Juutilainen: Perhaps. I got a little stiff to relate...
[10.10.2022 20:08:42] [RM]Bmn.Trau.Habermeyer: Oh, tough topic? Didn't mean to open any unwanted memories. How about ... oh, yes. Once more, personal interest of mine. Seen
[10.10.2022 20:08:57] [RM]Bmn.Trau.Habermeyer: many of Sirius' systems, Hunter?
[10.10.2022 20:09:42] Eila.I.Juutilainen: Tau, Omega, Rheinland, Bretonia... you name it. Omegas and Rheinland for the most part.
[10.10.2022 20:11:00] [RM]Bmn.Trau.Habermeyer: Ohhhh, Bretonia! How's that? My experiences are limited to my home here, of course, as well as some of the Sigmas and Omegas.
[10.10.2022 20:11:02] [RM]Bmn.Trau.Habermeyer: Not many, though.
[10.10.2022 20:12:23] Eila.I.Juutilainen: Tea and gentlemen closer to the center, savages, rednecks and reds frequent on the outskirts. Cleaner than it was a while ago..
[10.10.2022 20:12:41] Eila.I.Juutilainen: ...but don't get a wrong idea. Scrap is just gathered in specific places.
[10.10.2022 20:13:45] [RM]Bmn.Trau.Habermeyer: Isn't it always like that? Put the less pleasing things a bit out of sight of most eyes. Only difference is how quick the
[10.10.2022 20:13:57] [RM]Bmn.Trau.Habermeyer: House in question is in moving said things.
[10.10.2022 20:14:57] [RM]Bmn.Trau.Habermeyer: Weeks ago i met a Bretonian, working for Liberty these days. The tea was... ja. The tea was a given. Hah.
[10.10.2022 20:15:08] Eila.I.Juutilainen: Bretonia was more in control before if you ask me.
[10.10.2022 20:15:54] [RM]Bmn.Trau.Habermeyer: I couldn't really tell to be honest. Never had that much to do with them. Neither back then nor nowadays.
[10.10.2022 20:16:12] [RM]Bmn.Trau.Habermeyer: Oh - guten Tag there, Junker.
[10.10.2022 20:16:20] VanGogh: Guten tag officer
[10.10.2022 20:16:53] Eila.I.Juutilainen: That's maybe for the best. Some can get so suave it makes you sick to your stomach. But I guess that's just a feat of theirs.
[10.10.2022 20:18:17] [RM]Bmn.Trau.Habermeyer: That silver tongue - heavily leaning on words? Only real contact i had was said Liberty officer, who was born in Bretonia. I -
[10.10.2022 20:18:40] [RM]Bmn.Trau.Habermeyer: kind of can see what you mean, now that i remember how that encounter went. Not unpleasent per se, but ... ja.
[10.10.2022 20:20:15] Eila.I.Juutilainen: It just leaves that odd sugary, velvet-y sensation on your tongue you can't quite explain.
[10.10.2022 20:21:18] [RM]Bmn.Trau.Habermeyer: I apparently have to converse more with Bretonians - i am always up for new experiences.
[10.10.2022 20:21:30] [RM]Bmn.Trau.Habermeyer: That does sound like one. Maybe one i don't want that often, but ... at least once.
[10.10.2022 20:23:56] Eila.I.Juutilainen: Everything's good in small doses. Especially, Bretonian gentelman mannerism.
[10.10.2022 20:24:10] [RM]Bmn.Trau.Habermeyer: Is everything in order there, Junker? I registered quite a lot of weapons fire.
[10.10.2022 20:24:58] [RM]Bmn.Trau.Habermeyer: Speaking about gentleman mannerisms, hah. Ah well, it is what it is....
[10.10.2022 20:25:47] Kruger|KTS-Ruhrpott: Guten tag!
[10.10.2022 20:25:56] [RM]Bmn.Trau.Habermeyer: Guten Tag, Kruger vessel. I register some hull damage - was your trip safe?
[10.10.2022 20:26:34] Kruger|KTS-Ruhrpott: Thats some Radioactive scratches! everything is fine!
[10.10.2022 20:26:45] [RM]Bmn.Trau.Habermeyer: Glad to hear - safe travels to Hamburg then.
[10.10.2022 20:27:48] VanGogh: mining weapons only ofiicer.
[10.10.2022 20:28:09] Eila.I.Juutilainen: Uh-h... I feel like I could use a soft bed now. Should probably hit some hotel on Neu Berlin.
[10.10.2022 20:28:16] [RM]Bmn.Trau.Habermeyer: Ah, now now ... where were we two again? Right, gentleman mannerisms and the right dosage.
[10.10.2022 20:28:25] [RM]Bmn.Trau.Habermeyer: How fitting - in this case the right dosage of sleep.
[10.10.2022 20:28:38] Eila.I.Juutilainen: Right dosage and proper timings, too.
[10.10.2022 20:28:55] [RM]Bmn.Trau.Habermeyer: Do take care, ja Hunter? I am sure you'll find a most pleasent place to stay on Neu Berlin. Until then - auf Wiedersehen.
[10.10.2022 20:29:16] [RM]Bmn.Trau.Habermeyer: Understood, just making sure.
[10.10.2022 20:29:33] Eila.I.Juutilainen: A-- Auf Wiedersehen. Do be safe, Traudel. Hope I got the name right...
[10.10.2022 20:29:43] [RM]Bmn.Trau.Habermeyer: Hah, that you did. That you did.
[10.10.2022 20:30:10] Eila.I.Juutilainen: What was that Hitman's name again? Remind me, please.
[10.10.2022 20:30:10] VanGogh: this toxic waste ist good opportunity for me.
[10.10.2022 20:30:47] [RM]Bmn.Trau.Habermeyer: Callsign Hitman-76, his name is Lock. Flies a gunboat.
[10.10.2022 20:31:16] [RM]Bmn.Trau.Habermeyer: By all means - take some of that weight from Rheinlands shoulders. Both parties will benefit. Just handle it with care.
Returning from Essen Station empty handed, i came across MND Agent Franz Mueller at Wildau Station once more. He had prepared for his venture into Omega-52, so i offered to follow along up to Omega-7, Elbe Border Fortress. For a second time now, the MND alluded to their restructuring.
[10.10.2022 20:33:40] [RM]Bmn.Trau.Habermeyer: Hallo again, Agent.
[10.10.2022 20:33:48] BDM|Agt.Franz_Mueller: Hello there
[10.10.2022 20:34:10] BDM|Agt.Franz_Mueller: Did anything happen to our friend ?
[10.10.2022 20:34:15] [RM]Bmn.Trau.Habermeyer: Met a Junker not long ago - sadly nothing to be gathered about that Coalition vessel in the Ruhrfeld.
[10.10.2022 20:34:58] [RM]Bmn.Trau.Habermeyer: A Bounty Hunter came from Hamburg, said the system itself was void of any unusual activity as well.
[10.10.2022 20:34:58] BDM|Agt.Franz_Mueller: Alright. Ill see what i infos i can get in Omega-52
[10.10.2022 20:35:26] BDM|Agt.Franz_Mueller: See if they are moving their Caps or anything else
[10.10.2022 20:35:36] [RM]Bmn.Trau.Habermeyer: Certainly, maybe we can get to the bottom of this.
[10.10.2022 20:35:44] VanGogh: True, its the Smell of profit.
[10.10.2022 20:35:55] BDM|Agt.Franz_Mueller: They arent here just for fun.
[10.10.2022 20:36:32] [RM]Bmn.Trau.Habermeyer: Without a doubt, they are not. Nein. Mind if i tag along up to a border system?
[10.10.2022 20:36:48] [RM]Bmn.Trau.Habermeyer: Depends what route you take, of course.
[10.10.2022 20:36:59] BDM|Agt.Franz_Mueller: Sure. Ill go to Elbe Border Station
[10.10.2022 20:37:12] BDM|Agt.Franz_Mueller: Fortress*
[10.10.2022 20:37:40] [RM]Bmn.Trau.Habermeyer: Wunderbar, i'm on your six.
[10.10.2022 20:38:03] BDM|Agt.Franz_Mueller: Alright than lets go
[10.10.2022 20:38:48] [RM]Bmn.Trau.Habermeyer: Maybe you can help me with a little issue of my own. I already relayed that information, perhaps you read that report.
[10.10.2022 20:39:22] [RM]Bmn.Trau.Habermeyer: Potentially cloaked ship in Frankfurt just the other day, callsign was not matching any of the entries in our registers
[10.10.2022 20:39:25] [RM]Bmn.Trau.Habermeyer: regarding this tech.
[10.10.2022 20:40:39] BDM|Agt.Franz_Mueller: I mean we use the Tech aswell. But all of our tech comes from AESIR. For sure Liberty Kusari and so on got this tech aswell.
[10.10.2022 20:40:52] BDM|Agt.Franz_Mueller: For sure there is someting available on the black market
[10.10.2022 20:41:28] BDM|Agt.Franz_Mueller: Was is more of a Fighter or something big ?
[10.10.2022 20:41:35] [RM]Bmn.Trau.Habermeyer: No doubt it is - what i am getting at is the possibility of one of those parties taking a greater interest in Frankfurt again.
[10.10.2022 20:41:46] [RM]Bmn.Trau.Habermeyer: Unknown, all we got was a few short transmissions
[10.10.2022 20:41:59] [RM]Bmn.Trau.Habermeyer: On short range comms, mind you.
[10.10.2022 20:42:07] [RM]Bmn.Trau.Habermeyer: It was not far from Battleship Schwerin.
[10.10.2022 20:45:02] [RM]Bmn.Trau.Habermeyer: Ahhh... wonderful Omega-7
[10.10.2022 20:46:30] BDM|Agt.Franz_Mueller: I never liked this System. Way to Cloudy for me
[10.10.2022 20:46:48] [RM]Bmn.Trau.Habermeyer: Feels like i can see as far as my own hand reaches...
[10.10.2022 20:47:09] BDM|Agt.Franz_Mueller: A paradies for bandits
[10.10.2022 20:47:45] [RM]Bmn.Trau.Habermeyer: That it is, one of the reasons i wished to accompany you, Agent. In unity there is strength against all odds. Not ... that i
[10.10.2022 20:47:52] [RM]Bmn.Trau.Habermeyer: assume you'd have problems with bandits and the likes.
[10.10.2022 20:48:43] BDM|Agt.Franz_Mueller: I am always happy to get company. Since the conflict here in Rheinland. i spend most of my time on my Desk
[10.10.2022 20:49:10] BDM|Agt.Franz_Mueller: You could say that i am a bit rusty.
[10.10.2022 20:49:20] [RM]Bmn.Trau.Habermeyer: Sometimes desk work appears very attractive - i am out and about more often than i can count. A good balance is all it needs.
[10.10.2022 20:50:26] BDM|Agt.Franz_Mueller: I would rather patroll at the Hudson Gate than doing desk work
[10.10.2022 20:50:50] BDM|Agt.Franz_Mueller: But BDM is still undergoing some changes which require a lot of paper work
[10.10.2022 20:51:12] [RM]Bmn.Trau.Habermeyer: Hah... i've been there ... two weeks ago, i think. Rogue encounter, attacks on OS&C vessels... and unexpected cooperation with
[10.10.2022 20:51:16] [RM]Bmn.Trau.Habermeyer: a Liberty cruiser.
[10.10.2022 20:51:55] [RM]Bmn.Trau.Habermeyer: Does it? I ... assume due to the Federal and Imperial conflicts of interest from that dark part of our past?
[10.10.2022 20:53:07] BDM|Agt.Franz_Mueller: Yes. we are still struggeling getting all of our things together
[10.10.2022 20:53:51] [RM]Bmn.Trau.Habermeyer: It certainly was a time that shook all of us to our very core. *Clears her throat.*
[10.10.2022 20:54:29] BDM|Agt.Franz_Mueller: Not to talk about the personal deficiency
[10.10.2022 20:55:01] BDM|Agt.Franz_Mueller: I am just glad that this is all over and rheinland can finnaly get back to its old glory
[10.10.2022 20:55:29] [RM]Bmn.Trau.Habermeyer: Rheinland lost good men and women during that time... indeed. But the past is the past - our future is ahead of us. Only forged
[10.10.2022 20:55:35] [RM]Bmn.Trau.Habermeyer: by our own doing.
[10.10.2022 20:57:05] BDM|Agt.Franz_Mueller: I still cant get the pictures from Rheinl?nders shooting each other, out of my head
[10.10.2022 20:57:39] [RM]Bmn.Trau.Habermeyer: Which, at least in my book, is a good thing. It shows yourself how wrong this situation was. So wrong in fact, that your mind
[10.10.2022 20:57:56] [RM]Bmn.Trau.Habermeyer: still cannot let go of it. A good reminder to never repeat it. But that is just my take on it.
[10.10.2022 20:58:51] [RM]Bmn.Trau.Habermeyer: Guten Tag there, Freelancer. Safe travels.
[10.10.2022 20:59:05] BDM|Agt.Franz_Mueller: I see it the same way. But this happened and we cant change it. Lets look into our future.
[10.10.2022 21:00:59] [RM]Bmn.Trau.Habermeyer: What we can do is ensure it does not happen again - which i find to be a very central and important pillar of new
[10.10.2022 21:01:04] [RM]Bmn.Trau.Habermeyer: Rheinland's future.
[10.10.2022 21:02:22] [RM]Bmn.Trau.Habermeyer: Even if it means to face stacks upon stacks of documents during desk work hours... *Amused*
[10.10.2022 21:02:45] BDM|Agt.Franz_Mueller: I just started to like you "smiles".
[10.10.2022 21:02:54] BDM|Agt.Franz_Mueller: But now i hate you.
[10.10.2022 21:03:33] [RM]Bmn.Trau.Habermeyer: *Traudel chuckles a bit.* Sorry, Agent. I have a habit of ruining great moments apparently.
[10.10.2022 21:04:02] BDM|Agt.Franz_Mueller: Anyway. i think it is time for me to go on my way. I hope to see you again sometime. I really enjoyed your company.
[10.10.2022 21:04:40] [RM]Bmn.Trau.Habermeyer: Ja, right. This is where it ends for me - won't follow further out than here. Glad we work well together, Agent.
[10.10.2022 21:04:57] [RM]Bmn.Trau.Habermeyer: Until our paths cross again - stay safe out there.
[10.10.2022 21:05:14] BDM|Agt.Franz_Mueller: Have a good day Frau Habermeyer. Safe flights!
[10.10.2022 21:05:35] [RM]Bmn.Trau.Habermeyer: Likewise, Herr Mueller. Auf Wiedersehen!
On my way back from Omega-7, i took the long route over Omega-11 in order to secure Daumann interests there. Offer potential aid if required and ensure safe passage to anyone in need. I did encounter a Gaian transport in medium proximity to Solarius Station and kept my eyes on it for an extended period of time, but no attempts on any nearby transports took place.
[10.10.2022 21:28:53] [RM]Bmn.Trau.Habermeyer: Now what is this?
[10.10.2022 21:29:10] Mucor.Mucedo: Need my help to guess?
[10.10.2022 21:29:35] [RM]Bmn.Trau.Habermeyer: Heh - depends.
[10.10.2022 21:29:59] Mucor.Mucedo: I reckon that may be a 'no'.
[10.10.2022 21:30:57] [RM]Bmn.Trau.Habermeyer: You may be right with this. But please - go ahead. Let us entertain the thought of me requiring help in a little guessing game.
[10.10.2022 21:31:16] Mucor.Mucedo: Don't think I will.
[10.10.2022 21:31:31] [RM]Bmn.Trau.Habermeyer: Nein? Ahhh, don't be like that. Yet you offered it at first!
[10.10.2022 21:31:46] Mucor.Mucedo: Oh, I'll need some scans of that station.
[10.10.2022 21:32:25] [RM]Bmn.Trau.Habermeyer: Scans, mh? What is so interesting about that all of a sudden?
[10.10.2022 21:32:57] Mucor.Mucedo: Just a stepping stone for Daumann exploitation.
[10.10.2022 21:33:04] Mucor.Mucedo: Better have it all catalogued.
[10.10.2022 21:33:27] [RM]Bmn.Trau.Habermeyer: 'Exploitation' is such a harsh word. Progress never goes without sacrifices.
[10.10.2022 21:33:28] Mucor.Mucedo: Who knows when that'll come handy.
[10.10.2022 21:34:13] Mucor.Mucedo: Sure is a harsh word. Up until the point they cause some 'unfortunate accidents'.
[10.10.2022 21:34:25] Mucor.Mucedo: I'm sure exploitation will sound closer to home, then.
[10.10.2022 21:35:18] [RM]Bmn.Trau.Habermeyer: That requires a lot of 'ifs'. Had your negative experiences with Daumann in the past to come to this view?
[10.10.2022 21:36:01] Mucor.Mucedo: Don't have any.
[10.10.2022 21:36:10] Mucor.Mucedo: I just know how these corporations operate.
[10.10.2022 21:36:37] [RM]Bmn.Trau.Habermeyer: Sounds a lot like generalisation here to me. Clearly all of them can't be the same...
[10.10.2022 21:36:49] Mucor.Mucedo: You'd be surprised.
[10.10.2022 21:37:12] Mucor.Mucedo: An opportunity here, some goverment funding there.
[10.10.2022 21:37:15] [RM]Bmn.Trau.Habermeyer: What now? Do i have to prepare for a potential conspiracy theory of all companies being run by a select few?
[10.10.2022 21:37:47] Mucor.Mucedo: They could be ran by Lizards for all I care.
[10.10.2022 21:37:55] Mucor.Mucedo: As long as the results are the same.
[10.10.2022 21:38:15] [RM]Bmn.Trau.Habermeyer: Which, to you, are exploitation in the end?
[10.10.2022 21:38:37] Mucor.Mucedo: You'll get yourself a carbon copy of Leeds.
[10.10.2022 21:38:41] Mucor.Mucedo: Minus the glassing.
[10.10.2022 21:39:44] [RM]Bmn.Trau.Habermeyer: The glassing is a topic in itself... but i see, i see. A hub of production. Industry.
[10.10.2022 21:40:03] Mucor.Mucedo: Or, something closer to home.
[10.10.2022 21:40:11] Mucor.Mucedo: Stuttgart.
[10.10.2022 21:40:37] Mucor.Mucedo: You could call it a Synth production plant too.
[10.10.2022 21:41:16] [RM]Bmn.Trau.Habermeyer: ... mmhhhm. Synth Foods paid for it, under Imperial rule things are changing again.
[10.10.2022 21:41:42] [RM]Bmn.Trau.Habermeyer: And ... it continues to do so even after this dark chapter of Rheinland's internal struggles.
[10.10.2022 21:42:50] Mucor.Mucedo: Give it a year and it'll trickle back to the same pockets.
[10.10.2022 21:43:25] [RM]Bmn.Trau.Habermeyer: Such a drab and bleak outlook on things...
[10.10.2022 21:43:39] [RM]Bmn.Trau.Habermeyer: Proper control is required... that is all.
[10.10.2022 21:43:55] Mucor.Mucedo: You are content with your illusion of control.
[10.10.2022 21:44:30] Mucor.Mucedo: Unless you act, nothing changes.
[10.10.2022 21:44:50] [RM]Bmn.Trau.Habermeyer: My illusion of control? Please, be my guest. Shatter said illusion then.
[10.10.2022 21:46:43] Mucor.Mucedo: You already believe your government will do something about Stuttgart.
[10.10.2022 21:46:47] Mucor.Mucedo: Sure, they will try.
[10.10.2022 21:47:03] Mucor.Mucedo: And Synthfoods will keep up the act for a little while.
[10.10.2022 21:47:24] [RM]Bmn.Trau.Habermeyer: Believe? I know. They did so in the past. What the future brings, on the other hand, is not for me to judge. An educated guess
[10.10.2022 21:47:30] [RM]Bmn.Trau.Habermeyer: is all anyone is able to muster.
[10.10.2022 21:47:34] Mucor.Mucedo: Until something gets between the cogwheels.
[10.10.2022 21:47:44] Mucor.Mucedo: Perhaps a famine.
[10.10.2022 21:47:48] Mucor.Mucedo: Or something unexpected.
[10.10.2022 21:48:03] Mucor.Mucedo: Blamed on 'regional terrorists'.
[10.10.2022 21:48:14] Mucor.Mucedo: But for once, they'll have no hand in it.
[10.10.2022 21:48:23] [RM]Bmn.Trau.Habermeyer: And i am supposed to just believe that?
[10.10.2022 21:48:34] Mucor.Mucedo: No, you don't have to.
[10.10.2022 21:48:39] Hitman-76: Lock: Hmm.... interesting...
[10.10.2022 21:48:51] Mucor.Mucedo: But something like that will eventually happen.
[10.10.2022 21:49:05] [RM]Bmn.Trau.Habermeyer: Ups and downs, as always....
[10.10.2022 21:49:15] [RM]Bmn.Trau.Habermeyer: Oh - Lock. Welcome to this unexpected ... exchange.
[10.10.2022 21:49:16] Mucor.Mucedo: Well.
[10.10.2022 21:49:34] Mucor.Mucedo: There may not be ups after a while.
[10.10.2022 21:49:37] Hitman-76: Lock: I was on mission, what is this ship doing out here?
[10.10.2022 21:50:06] [RM]Bmn.Trau.Habermeyer: Ups are as sure as downs. It is an eternal cycle. Ah and ...shattering my illusions, apparently.
[10.10.2022 21:50:19] Mucor.Mucedo: Those are your own words.
[10.10.2022 21:50:30] Mucor.Mucedo: I never promised to shatter any pre-conceptions.
[10.10.2022 21:50:39] [RM]Bmn.Trau.Habermeyer: Yet you entertain the thought, nein?
[10.10.2022 21:50:46] [RM]Bmn.Trau.Habermeyer: Else ... why bother?
[10.10.2022 21:51:05] Mucor.Mucedo: Entertain is the word exactly.
[10.10.2022 21:52:35] [RM]Bmn.Trau.Habermeyer: So ... nothing but good use of your time then. Well, what can i say. I do enjoy a thought provoking conversation.
[10.10.2022 21:53:03] Mucor.Mucedo: The seed is sowed.
[10.10.2022 21:53:35] Mucor.Mucedo: After all, we plant trees, but we do not expect to sit in the shade they provide.
My patrol ended hours later in Stuttgart, as i was investigating something with the Bounty Hunter 'Lock'. Two Unioners, a gunboat and a bomber, ambushed us not far from Ulm Border Station and the Omega-7 jump gate. My flight recorder was damaged at this point, the majority of data ruined.
[11.10.2022 00:18:43] UN]-Noah.Doltenberg: Guten tag!
[11.10.2022 00:18:44] Leipzig: contact

[11.10.2022 00:19:36] UN]-Noah.Doltenberg: weapons ready
[11.10.2022 00:19:42] Leipzig: pls leave the system
[11.10.2022 00:19:49] [RM]Bmn.Trau.Habermeyer: Certainly not, Unioner
[11.10.2022 00:19:53] Leipzig: or die
[11.10.2022 00:19:53] Hitman-76: Lock: Moving in the defend Rheinwehr vessel!
[11.10.2022 00:19:58] UN]-Noah.Doltenberg: FIRE!
[11.10.2022 00:20:09] [RM]Bmn.Trau.Habermeyer: Target acquired - weapons hot!
[11.10.2022 00:22:49] [RM]Bmn.Trau.Habermeyer: All Rheinwehr Vessels - Unioners in Sector B4!
[11.10.2022 00:23:11] Nina,Rodriguez[TBH]: Eh. Guess the unioners ar busy with the hunter.
[11.10.2022 00:24:13] Death: Hitman-76 was put out of action by UN]-Noah.Doltenberg (Gun).
[11.10.2022 00:24:48] UN]-Noah.Doltenberg: wanna help?
[11.10.2022 00:25:15] Nina,Rodriguez[TBH]: Why would I help if you are assisted with a gun boat, amigo?
[11.10.2022 00:25:23] UN]-Noah.Doltenberg: hahahaha
[11.10.2022 00:26:13] Nina,Rodriguez[TBH]: Leipzig, you should let your mate taking care of the military.
[11.10.2022 00:26:33] Nina,Rodriguez[TBH]: I have some addiction of rheinlanders.
[11.10.2022 00:26:55] Death: [RM]Bmn.Trau.Habermeyer was put out of action by Leipzig (Gun).
Für den Kaiser! Für das Volk! Für Rheinland!
