Guten Abend esteemed Representatives,
i have to forward the findings of Herr Schmid, owner of Mining Factory Neuss, to your attention.
During an earlier situation close to his station he asked me and other present company whether or not we knew of a complex consisting of several modular bases under Freelancer control. I had no knowledge of such and found nothing of the sort in our entries, but made a mental note nonetheless.
Herr Schmid contacted me roughly an hour after we took care of a smuggler in Thuringia, informing me he his company had found the location of said complex and offered to show it to me. As the installation's defenses acted hostile against him, i opted to bring Richards as well as Agent Lock with me to ensure sufficient security should forces be scrambled from within.
Upon arrival we were greeted by an impressive array of weapon platforms as well as bases, clumped together closely. Three of those hostile towards everyone present, Freelancer included. The location was, as Herr Schmid mentioned, somewhat tricky to find at first. Far away from typical routes. I made sure to properly document my positional data
[08.01.2023 00:02:30] MFN|Helmut.S.-Mining: H:MFN has found the Complex. The Officer wishes to take a look at the Complex?
[08.01.2023 00:02:45] MFN|Helmut.S.-Mining: H:Complex is shooting DHC Vessels. [08.01.2023 00:02:55] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: Outstanding - indeed. I need coordinates for that. [08.01.2023 00:03:20] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: I did indeed. I hear right now - but will leave for something soon. [08.01.2023 00:03:29] MFN|Helmut.S.-Mining: H:You can meet me a Neuss Officer, and we can fly together
[08.01.2023 00:03:36] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: Acknowledged - en route.
[08.01.2023 00:03:47] MFN|Helmut.S.-Mining: H:A little bit tricky with the Coords [08.01.2023 00:03:55] Richards.-[Fae: Would I be able to join you, or is it Military related? [08.01.2023 00:04:03] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: Makes sense if they want to hide. [08.01.2023 00:04:18] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: Go back to the Mining Factory. I will be there.
[08.01.2023 00:09:38] Richards.-[Fae: Ah, Traudel.
[08.01.2023 00:09:45] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: Pardon the delay...
[08.01.2023 00:09:52] Richards.-[Fae: No worries.
[08.01.2023 00:09:57] MFN|Helmut.S.-Mining: H:Good to see you.
[08.01.2023 00:10:06] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: Likewise.
[08.01.2023 00:10:24] MFN|Helmut.S.-Mining: H:Powering Engine
[08.01.2023 00:10:30] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: One moment
[08.01.2023 00:10:40] MFN|Helmut.S.-Mining: H:yes?
[08.01.2023 00:10:54] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: I'll have someone come in as well, you said the complex was hostile to you?
[08.01.2023 00:11:04] MFN|Helmut.S.-Mining: H:positive
[08.01.2023 00:11:32] MFN|Helmut.S.-Mining: H:Its like a Castle is shooting at you Officer, Scary moment [08.01.2023 00:11:34] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: Lock? I could need you for a little something. Meet me at Mining Factory Neuss.
[08.01.2023 00:11:47] Hitman-76: Lock: ... Alrighty, I am on the way.
[08.01.2023 00:11:48] MFN|Helmut.S.-Mining: H:You will see it when we arrived.
[08.01.2023 00:12:09] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: This alone is already highly concerning. A base should not be firing upon a Rheinland corporation.
[08.01.2023 00:12:24] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: This will lead to a proper investigation. We shouldn't wait long, by the way.
[08.01.2023 00:12:54] MFN|Helmut.S.-Mining: H:Yeah, 1 Base is neutral and not shooting, but the other 3 are shooting, and not less.
[08.01.2023 00:12:59] Hitman-76: Lock: I have arrived, what is the matter?
[08.01.2023 00:13:09] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: Our mysterious base complex, Lock. It was found...
[08.01.2023 00:13:13] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: And we are going to have a look.
[08.01.2023 00:13:15] Hitman-76: Lock: ... Here?
[08.01.2023 00:13:32] MFN|Helmut.S.-Mining: H:50k Far away
[08.01.2023 00:13:43] Hitman-76: Lock: Here as in this system... but still interesting.
[08.01.2023 00:13:56] Hitman-76: Lock: I really could only think of the Freelancer Haven.
[08.01.2023 00:14:21] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: Well then ... Herr Schmid it is, i believe? You said you were the owner of MFN?
[08.01.2023 00:14:33] MFN|Helmut.S.-Mining: H:Thats correct.
[08.01.2023 00:14:40] MFN|Helmut.S.-Mining: H:That is my Company
[08.01.2023 00:15:00] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: Pleasure to meet you in person, heard that name a few time at the barracks. Traudel Habermeyer. Well ... let us begin, nein?
[08.01.2023 00:15:16] MFN|Helmut.S.-Mining: H:Lets go, time is Money.
[08.01.2023 00:15:25] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: That it is.
[08.01.2023 00:15:54] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: Was it anyone in particular that first started these rumors?
[08.01.2023 00:16:16] MFN|Helmut.S.-Mining: H:The Crew of Neuss has informed me about that.
[08.01.2023 00:16:30] MFN|Helmut.S.-Mining: H:I got only the System, not more.
[08.01.2023 00:16:44] Hitman-76: Lock: What in the...
[08.01.2023 00:16:52] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: Yet you found it - quite the demonstration of integrity. I must admit.
[08.01.2023 00:16:52] MFN|Helmut.S.-Mining: H:Contact.
[08.01.2023 00:17:03] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: ... indeed... i do not believe it...
[08.01.2023 00:17:10] Hitman-76: Lock: How long has -that- been there?
[08.01.2023 00:17:13] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: Showing up as hostile - ... correct...
[08.01.2023 00:17:36] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: Hold -
[08.01.2023 00:17:42] Richards.-[Fae: Ah, there they are. Yes, hostility confirmed.
[08.01.2023 00:17:43] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: They even have weapon installations!
[08.01.2023 00:17:48] MFN|Helmut.S.-Mining: H:Watch out.
[08.01.2023 00:17:54] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: And not just one or two...
[08.01.2023 00:18:00] MFN|Helmut.S.-Mining: H:yeah
[08.01.2023 00:18:15] MFN|Helmut.S.-Mining: H:Thats the reson why i have contact you.
[08.01.2023 00:18:17] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: What in the Kaiser's name ... *She exhales sharply.*
[08.01.2023 00:18:18] Hitman-76: Lock: This has been here for quite some time then.
[08.01.2023 00:18:32] MFN|Helmut.S.-Mining: H:What is CWW?
[08.01.2023 00:18:45] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: They fire upon Freelancers... Hitmen ... Daumann and even the Rheinwehr....
[08.01.2023 00:19:01] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: I am not familiar with that term i believe. CWW ... mhhhm.
[08.01.2023 00:19:12] Hitman-76: Lock: I have heard of it..
[08.01.2023 00:19:15] MFN|Helmut.S.-Mining: H:Shipyard...
[08.01.2023 00:19:25] MFN|Helmut.S.-Mining: H:Interesting
[08.01.2023 00:19:26] Hitman-76: Lock: Damnit I knew it...
[08.01.2023 00:19:34] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: What does it stand for, Lock?
[08.01.2023 00:19:35] Hitman-76: Lock: These I bet are Coalition instalations!
[08.01.2023 00:19:46] MFN|Helmut.S.-Mining: H:What?
[08.01.2023 00:19:50] MFN|Helmut.S.-Mining: H:Holy....
[08.01.2023 00:19:51] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: The Coalition? They ... how have they managed to sneak in this much material?
[08.01.2023 00:19:53] Hitman-76: Lock: I have seen that tag with them before.
[08.01.2023 00:20:05] Hitman-76: Lock: Tag on something but what I don't know...
[08.01.2023 00:20:15] Hitman-76: Lock: Was some odd IFF alright.
[08.01.2023 00:20:26] Hitman-76: Lock: This has to be their work... hostile to all of us
[08.01.2023 00:20:28] MFN|Helmut.S.-Mining: H:And my Company cannot Construct Defense Plattforms, not enough Space
[08.01.2023 00:20:45] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: The difference is ... they over there have not asked. They just did.
[08.01.2023 00:20:49] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: And for that they'll pay the price.
[08.01.2023 00:21:30] Hitman-76: Lock: They must be destroyed...
[08.01.2023 00:21:48] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: I urge you to keep knowledge of this to yourself for the time being, Herr Schmid. We do not need interested tourists taking
[08.01.2023 00:21:54] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: a detour or ... others supplying it.
[08.01.2023 00:22:02] MFN|Helmut.S.-Mining: H:Good to have RM and the Military here to protect us for that Scum.
[08.01.2023 00:22:18] MFN|Helmut.S.-Mining: H:Sure, np.
[08.01.2023 00:22:25] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: And that is precisely what will happen. I'll thorougly document this and pass it up to my superiors.
[08.01.2023 00:22:58] MFN|Helmut.S.-Mining: H:Good to hear that.
[08.01.2023 00:23:06] Hitman-76: Lock: Fleet command will hear of this...
[08.01.2023 00:23:16] Hitman-58[B]: ?: Hey, Lock, what was so urgent?
[08.01.2023 00:23:20] Hitman-76: Lock: Look...
[08.01.2023 00:23:25] Hitman-58[B]: ?: What the...
[08.01.2023 00:23:27] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: Coalition installations, 58.
[08.01.2023 00:23:38] Hitman-76: Lock: Unconfirmed, but I bet that is what they are.
[08.01.2023 00:23:38] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: And quite a lot of them...
[08.01.2023 00:23:48] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: Most likely, indeed.
[08.01.2023 00:23:53] Hitman-76: Lock: How the hell have the managed to sneak this through I don't know...
[08.01.2023 00:24:08] Hitman-76: Lock: Quite an effort I must admit... but very naughty.
[08.01.2023 00:24:11] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: Herr Schmid? I can only express my utmost thanks for the invaluable service you have provided Rheinland with by this.
[08.01.2023 00:24:33] Hitman-58[B]: ?: Sounds like you could use some big guns
[08.01.2023 00:24:40] MFN|Helmut.S.-Mining: H:No problem, i do my best to help the Goverment/Military.
[08.01.2023 00:24:57] Hitman-76: Lock: Tis a shame -we- don't have big guns, we can't make a dent in any of that.
[08.01.2023 00:25:03] MFN|Helmut.S.-Mining: H:And nobody want scum near the own Company.
[08.01.2023 00:25:16] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: No one wants problematic neighbours indeed.
[08.01.2023 00:25:23] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: And yes, heavy ordnance will be required.
[08.01.2023 00:25:34] Hitman-76: Lock: I doubt even The Bastion could make a dent in that.
[08.01.2023 00:25:45] Hitman-58[B]: ?: Quite the citadel...
[08.01.2023 00:25:55] Hitman-76: Lock: Indeed...
[08.01.2023 00:26:01] MFN|Helmut.S.-Mining: H:That sounds like a big Operation.
[08.01.2023 00:26:14] Hitman-76: Lock: The Bastion is our flagship.
[08.01.2023 00:27:16] Hitman-76: Lock: Traudel... where is the Rheinland fleet when you need it?
[08.01.2023 00:27:20] Hitman-58[B]: ?: No doubt the Coalition will come for us when they hear about our knowledge of this...
[08.01.2023 00:27:31] Hitman-76: Lock: No kidding...
[08.01.2023 00:27:41] Hitman-58[B]: ?: I'd prefer to live.
[08.01.2023 00:27:47] Hitman-76: Lock: 58, if you find other hitmen please inform them of this.
[08.01.2023 00:27:56] Hitman-76: Lock: Rheinland may need our services more than ever now.
[08.01.2023 00:27:57] Hitman-58[B]: ?: That goes without saying
[08.01.2023 00:28:03] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: In that regard however...
[08.01.2023 00:28:11] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: Treat this with caution. Only to Hitmen.
[08.01.2023 00:28:13] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: No one else.
[08.01.2023 00:28:24] Hitman-58[B]: ?: [sigh] Better be getting some big stacks of credits for this...
[08.01.2023 00:28:28] Hitman-76: Lock: Is understood.
[08.01.2023 00:28:43] Hitman-76: Lock: Don't forget, that isn't our bais.
[08.01.2023 00:28:48] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: And the Flotte? Stretched thin to all corners. But i suppose Kampfgruppe Pinneberg will be recalled...
[08.01.2023 00:29:04] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: The audacity...
[08.01.2023 00:29:31] MFN|Helmut.S.-Mining: H:Top level of secrecy on my part about this Officer.
[08.01.2023 00:29:45] Hitman-76: Lock: You have our word too, silence is key.
[08.01.2023 00:29:46] Hitman-58[B]: ?: No one else hears a word about this
[08.01.2023 00:30:26] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: Wunderbar, this is how it is supposed to go.
[08.01.2023 00:30:39] Richards.-[Fae: I will say nothing.
[08.01.2023 00:31:00] Hitman-58[B]: ?: It seems so far you have already said nothing. If that continues I trust he won't...
[08.01.2023 00:31:35] Hitman-76: Lock: *sighs* So much, all so much...
[08.01.2023 00:32:01] MFN|Helmut.S.-Mining: H:Im heading back to Neuss, Paperwork to do, glad to help you. Call me when you need everything.
[08.01.2023 00:32:16] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: Certainly, Herr Schmid. Take care and enjoy your evening.
[08.01.2023 00:32:29] MFN|Helmut.S.-Mining: H:You too.
[08.01.2023 00:32:36] Hitman-58[B]: ?: Not to get risky but... [grins]
[08.01.2023 00:32:36] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: Danke schoen.
[08.01.2023 00:32:44] Hitman-76: Lock: 58...
[08.01.2023 00:32:53] Hitman-58[B]: ?: I'll be fine, don't worry
[08.01.2023 00:32:56] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: And no worries about Richards. He can be trusted. Else i wouldn't have taken him with me.
[08.01.2023 00:33:12] Hitman-76: Lock: There is about ten of the weapon platforms... don't want yourself getting killed.
[08.01.2023 00:33:28] Hitman-58[B]: ?: I never do
[08.01.2023 00:33:42] Hitman-76: Lock: Well being one of our tops considers why your still not dead.
[08.01.2023 00:34:19] Hitman-58[B]: ?: Those are some pretty hefty defences
[08.01.2023 00:34:28] Hitman-58[B]: ?: One of those stations isn't firing though...
[08.01.2023 00:34:29] Hitman-76: Lock: *sighs* Traudel, sometimes I wonder when all the fighting will ever end.
[08.01.2023 00:34:41] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: For whatever reason, yes.
[08.01.2023 00:35:01] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: I ... am not sure we will ever see the end of fighting.
[08.01.2023 00:35:26] Hitman-58[B]: ?: Could say that again. Hah! [08.01.2023 00:35:36] Position -6722 -26437 31565 Orient 143 48 -179
[08.01.2023 00:36:06] Hitman-58[B]: ?: Ah.... theres one station that is not acting aggressively to me, think I can get on it?
[08.01.2023 00:36:10] Richards.-[Fae: Yeah, fighting, can't wait for that to end.
[08.01.2023 00:36:17] Hitman-76: Lock: ... I doubt it...
[08.01.2023 00:36:35] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: Should you actually make it ... that would be quite valuable. But do not endanger yourself. It might have restricted docking
[08.01.2023 00:36:36] Hitman-76: Lock: You alreayd taken hits on that hull.
[08.01.2023 00:36:37] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: clearance...
[08.01.2023 00:36:54] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: I will need a short moment to properly document my position... i won't be long. *She cuts comms*
