Guten Abend Offiziere.
As Kapitanleutnant Klein is now assigned to guard the Hudson gate, I performed a preliminary scouting run of our borders within the Husdon system (Path 1, Path 2). In brief, no strange phenomena or indeed other vessels were detected. Indeed, old wrecks from our combats with the Navy during the war seemed untouched (gun cam footage: o o ), which implies the scavengers have not frequented the system.
I spent the next hours conducting live-firing exercises out of Bettleship Schwerin. After a resupply, I was made aware of CIC chatter, confirming the posting of Kapitanleutnant Klein to Hamburg. Soon after, the comms officer of the newly appointed task force confirmed my request for re-location to Soltau.
Upon my arrival to Soltau for re-supply, Kapitanleutnant Klein himself has made an appearance near the jumpgate in RNC-Pinneberg. After a brief communication, I requested my flight crew to transfer the Revenant-class to Soltau for easy access. Upon swapping vessels, I almost immediately ran across a transport acting with some suspicion (designation: KeyRoft). A scan of his cargo and hardpoints did not offer any unusual information, and I avoided disrupting its engines. A few moments later, Kapitanleutnant Klein ordered the transport to halt, but it did not do so, instead proceeding directly through the jump gate. I was not ordered to pursue. It is the recommendation of Kapitanleutnant Klein that this vessel be detained on sight, and its Kapitan interrogated about the failure to follow a lawful order.
Meanwhile, a well-known nuisance has been making himself felt in the wide-band system channel (designation: Omega.01). Kapitanleutnant Klein invited the pirate to visit us near the gate, and the scoundrel showed up on schedule. Kapitanleutnant Klein order me to engage, while he remained in the vicinity to keep watch on the trade route. Unfortunately, I was bested yet again, though covering fire from Soltau prevented any major damage to my ship. Omega, having made what I assume was his point, proceeded in the direction of Hannover, likely to refuel and resupply at Vierlande. As I waited for minor repairs, I once again engaged in simulator training.
Later that day, I and a number of other volunteers were quickly loaded onto a fast packet towards Gran Canaria in Omega-48. There, I took control of the Faust, a Roc-class, and proceeded to the developing combat scenario. Upon arriving on scene, I was ordered to engage the coalition cruiser, which I did to the best of my ability while receiving enemy fire from at least two sources. In the end, my ship was disabled, though I managed to do enough damage to the enemy vessel for it to be overpowered by the cruisers KKS-Adm.Graf.Spee and KKS-Weltundergang.
