Guten Abend Offiziere.
Please find attached the neural net logs of my assigned areas as pertaining to mission AX76NG (Codename = Blumen).
Sigma-15 (Luneberg).
The grid in this system was split into two outbound legs, both passing through Freeport 8, where I was directed to land in order to acquire up-to-date intelligence about Core activity in-system (Path 1, Path 2). Due to adequate coverage of the Core zone of influence, I was directed to avoid this area during my patrol.
Overall, both legs of the patrol were uneventful. The ongoing construction of the Redline Depot E seems to be proceeding on schedule - please find attached the neural net node for additional information on the subject.
Munich.
After confirming my mission with Passau, I was directed to avoid all nebulae sectors within this system as much as possible. For this reason, I once again decided on creating two legs, one ending at New Augsburg, and the other starting from there and ending at Passau (Path 1, Path 2).
At the beginning of the first leg, I encountered a Freelancer vessel performing live-firing exercises (designation: Nobber). In the course of a brief exchange with this individual, I detected another transmission from another Freelancer, carrying helium to New Augsburg (designation: M!n3R_ApeX. WARNING: neural net data unavailable). Further communication with these individuals seemed unnecessary, and I proceeded with the rest of my patrol. As outlined in the mission parameters, I did not approach Ingolstadt directly, though I made sure to take detailed drone scans during the outbound leg (drone footage). I did not detect any vessels around the station, and alloy concentration seems to be unchanged from the last report. Augsburg did not have anything new to report either. This was turning out to be another uneventful patrol.
Upon my approach to Passau, I received a coded transmission to further investigate the aforementioned vessel Nobber. Upon a detailed scan, I detected a potentially unregistered Cloaking Device mounted on the vessel (scan infocard). As I was on the last leg of my patrol, Passau advised me to land and confirm any special equipment registries containing this vessel in the neural net. However, my search failed to discover any record of the sort. Unfortunately, by this point in time, both Passau and Augsburg reported no vessels on their long-ranged scans. I recommend that a detain&interrogate order be placed on the vessel Nobber in order to obtain more information from its captain. As I gave no indication of hostile intent, I believe the vessel may eventually return to Munich in order to conduct more live-fire exercises. At this point, the administrator at Passau has been instructed to forward the last known location of this vessel to currently-active members of the Kaiserliche Rheinwehr.
Für den Kaiser! Für das Volk! Für Rheinland!
