Guten Abend Officers,
during a routine patrol in Frankfurt i came across a familiar callsign, Carlos-Benitez.
Not having learned any lesson whatsoever, this time carrying 1500 units of Artifacts and heading towards the restricted Westerwald nebula. The pilot cut their engines and returned from the zone, but refused to cooperate. Before i could take action a Hessian battlecruiser showed up on my scanners, the Verderber, which was previously responding to the messages broadcasted system-wide. A Corsair, callsign Cesar`Gutierrez[TBH], appeared as well and allowed Benitez to leave by hindering me in my pursuit. Apparently Benitez was known to Gutierrez, but i could not find out more. Schuberger, a soldier arriving from New Berlin, pursued Gutierrez while i coordinated with the Wodan, which kept eyes on the Hessian capital vessel until reinforcements arrived. I, at this point, was headed for a nearby blip on radar very close to where Benitez had initially attempted to head to and kept watch for a potential ambush.

[27.01.2023 23:45:29] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: Freelancer - you are heading to a restricted area -while carrying illegal goods-. Cut. Your. Engines.

[27.01.2023 23:45:45] Carlos-Benitez: how the...
[27.01.2023 23:46:07] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: We got our eyes everywhere.
[27.01.2023 23:46:31] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: Now hold it there.
[27.01.2023 23:47:10] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: Seems we are not in favor to comply. What a shame.
[27.01.2023 23:47:16] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: are we now?
[27.01.2023 23:47:31] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: Good.
[27.01.2023 23:47:36] Carlos-Benitez: #######static#####
[27.01.2023 23:47:47] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: Hnf. 'Convenient' comms issue.
[27.01.2023 23:48:03] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: Drop the contraband. 1.5 million SC fine. [27.01.2023 23:49:23] Carlos-Benitez: At our last meeting your agent took 50 million of my credits. How should I trust I'll be treated reasonably this time?
[27.01.2023 23:49:57] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: I may remind you that you paid too much. The fine was and still is 1.5 million SC.
[27.01.2023 23:49:59] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: Not 50.
[27.01.2023 23:50:32] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: But seeing as you have not learned and continue to smuggle, you should not expect particularly fair treatment. [27.01.2023 23:51:40] Carlos-Benitez: What a profitable business this is for you
[27.01.2023 23:52:00] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: You need not broadcast for the entire system, Freelancer. [27.01.2023 23:52:04] Verderber: ?: Propoganda propoganda! Read all about it!
[27.01.2023 23:52:12] Carlos-Benitez: lurking in the shadows near... where are we... Manheim Station.. threatening businessmen.. guns to their heads.
[27.01.2023 23:52:13] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: And this is not a business. You were fined for 1.5 million. You are fined so again. [27.01.2023 23:52:16] Verderber: ?: Free yourselves from the clutches of the Imperials!
[27.01.2023 23:52:18] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: That you overpaid is on you.
[27.01.2023 23:52:28] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: You are smuggling illegal contraband. [27.01.2023 23:52:34] Carlos-Benitez: lurking in the shadows near Manheim Station... guns to our heads....
[27.01.2023 23:52:35] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: No respectable business would do such. [27.01.2023 23:53:04] Verderber: ?: Huh? Nein that is not acceptable!
[27.01.2023 23:53:47] Carlos-Benitez: Re-state your demands and I'll consider them
[27.01.2023 23:54:12] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: This is not a negotiation. Drop your illegal goods now and pay the fine of 1.5 million SC. [27.01.2023 23:54:16] Carlos-Benitez: I said re-state your demands and I'll consider them. This situation is causing a great deal of distress
[27.01.2023 23:55:09] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: Mhmf ... in league with him, i take it. [27.01.2023 23:55:17] Verderber: ?: Demands? we have no demands!
[27.01.2023 23:55:18] Cesar`Gutierrez[TBH]: Rheinland Military, I have some business to sort with you
[27.01.2023 23:55:18] Carlos-Benitez: I wonder if you know the profit margin of a ship like this... legal cargo or no..
[27.01.2023 23:55:29] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: Business? I am busy right now, Corsair.
[27.01.2023 23:55:38] Cesar`Gutierrez[TBH]: Indeed, with me.
[27.01.2023 23:55:46] Carlos-Benitez: Oh no! Not Corsairs as well!
[27.01.2023 23:55:55] Carlos-Benitez: Now none of us will get out of this alive
[27.01.2023 23:56:00] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: You are smuggling their goods, Freelancer.
[27.01.2023 23:56:05] Verderber: ?: Many hostiles on radar!
[27.01.2023 23:56:10] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: Wh-... eugh.
[27.01.2023 23:56:12] Cesar`Gutierrez[TBH]: That faulty IFF'd vessel is also my business. I need them to have it fixed
[27.01.2023 23:56:32] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: What faulty iff'd vessel?
[27.01.2023 23:56:39] Cesar`Gutierrez[TBH]: Oh, mierda. A Red Hessian warship
[27.01.2023 23:56:54] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: Hmf.
[27.01.2023 23:56:58] Verderber: ?: Ja!
[27.01.2023 23:57:01] Carlos-Benitez: what the....
[27.01.2023 23:57:04] Cesar`Gutierrez[TBH]: Si... that one, seems to be carrying a name very familiar to me
[27.01.2023 23:57:11] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: Does it now ... [27.01.2023 23:57:14] Verderber: ?: Where is the mighty fleet?! we are still bored!
[27.01.2023 23:57:29] Carlos-Benitez: Well rhinelander, it seems you have bigger fish to fry.
[27.01.2023 23:57:42] Verderber: ?: Hah! Rheinland will be fried not the Verderber!
[27.01.2023 23:57:53] Cesar`Gutierrez[TBH]: I can't take on this maldito in this ship....
[27.01.2023 23:58:37] Verderber: ?: Eh... who here wants propoganda papers?
[27.01.2023 23:58:51] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: And where do you think you're going?!
[27.01.2023 23:58:53] Cesar`Gutierrez[TBH]: I ran out of toilet paper, it should be useful
[27.01.2023 23:59:11] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: Bah.
[27.01.2023 23:59:15] Verderber: ?: Good luck Freelancer! stay free!
[27.01.2023 23:59:23] Cesar`Gutierrez[TBH]: You are not going after that ship
[27.01.2023 23:59:48] Cesar`Gutierrez[TBH]: You have some bigger problems, perhaps me
[27.01.2023 23:59:53] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: Shouldn't have done that.
[27.01.2023 23:59:55] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: 'Perhaps'?
[28.01.2023 00:00:22] Cesar`Gutierrez[TBH]: Or Red Hessian capital ship. It is about to take agression any time soon
[28.01.2023 00:00:25] Sven.Schuberger: Hostile contacts on scanner.
[28.01.2023 00:00:35] Sven.Schuberger: Moving to intercept.
[28.01.2023 00:00:44] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: It may do so....nothing i am equipped to deal with.
[28.01.2023 00:00:57] Sven.Schuberger: Coward.
[28.01.2023 00:01:08] Cesar`Gutierrez[TBH]: I'll deal with you later
[28.01.2023 00:01:12] Sven.Schuberger: Deal with me now.
[28.01.2023 00:01:22] Verderber: ?: Ahhh... a Cruiser!
[28.01.2023 00:01:25] Cesar`Gutierrez[TBH]: Negative. I have a higher priority
[28.01.2023 00:01:31] Verderber: ?: Wait.. no that is a gunboat!
[28.01.2023 00:01:32] Sven.Schuberger: Running is your priority.
[28.01.2023 00:01:38] [RM]KKS-Wodan: S: Visuals on a hostile battlecruiser
[28.01.2023 00:02:10] Verderber: ?: Pah... a tiny gunboat so scary!
[28.01.2023 00:02:48] Verderber: ?: You want to die now Military?
[28.01.2023 00:03:14] Verderber: ?: Or read my propoganda first? *hehehehe*
[28.01.2023 00:03:26] [RM]KKS-Wodan: S: Crew, red alert. Hostile battlecruiser is inbound
[28.01.2023 00:03:59] [RM]KKS-Wodan: S: I assume you have propaganda for your cause?
[28.01.2023 00:04:01] Verderber: ?: Men! Fry anything that gets close!
[28.01.2023 00:04:09] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: I wont be much help here, Wodan. I advise caution.
[28.01.2023 00:04:24] [RM]KKS-Wodan: S: Copy that. Maintaining distance
[28.01.2023 00:04:37] Verderber: ?: Ja! a cause more important than a corrupt government!
[28.01.2023 00:05:01] [RM]KKS-Wodan: S: You will see soon. Rheinland shall not be contaminated with socialist ideals
[28.01.2023 00:05:18] Verderber: ?: Bah! Nein you are a fool to believe that!
[28.01.2023 00:06:49] Preparing to cloak...
