Guten Abend Offiziere.

It is with some chagrin that I must admit to the failure of executing my duties. Early during my first official patrol post-reinstatement, I detected a cluster of ships loitering sunward near the trade lane between Wildau and New Berlin. Upon more detailed scans, I determined that one was a member of the Buro Der Marineintelligenz, seemingly engaging in a standoff with two hostile military vessels (a member of the Coalition and the Corsairs). After a brief conversation and my aborted attempt at humor, we engaged the enemy. Unfortunately, I was slowly but steadily outmatched by the Coalition pilot, while the BDM pilot and the Corsair seemed to be evenly matched. This engagement was witnessed by a pirate, who seemed unwilling to declare a side.
After the destruction of my ship, the combatants were kind enough to ignore my escape pod as it coasted toward Wildau. All neural net logs were lost, and the black box was destroyed by my own mine.

I have forwarded my simulator schedule to Oberleutnant Habermeyer in order to rectify this shortcoming, and am awaiting punishment if that is deemed necessary.


Hochachtungsvoll,
Elias Beist
Bootsmann der Kaiserlichen Rheinwehr
