last week I contacted ze owner of ze Stuttgart station wizin ze Hamburg system about zeir debt and I gave zem a final warning to eizer pay off or to face ze consequences. Ze Versorgungsschiff Schwaben was at zis moment also in Hamburg to patrol ze area, while I was at ze Lübeck Border station to coordinate ze operation. Ze deadline for Herrn Katzenbauer ended on Monday morning and he did not manage to clear ze outstanding amount of credits. I was already organizing ze siege, when I received a message from ze governor of Hamburg. Seems he was not willing to spend ze funds needed for zis siege. Zis is kind of ironic, because he was ze one who pushed ze situation before. Furzer information has revealed zat Mr. Katzenbauer is no longer at ze station and apparently took almost everyzing wiz him. Ze remaining, innocent workers will be evacuated to ze Altona station wizin ze next days. We will declare zis installation as abandoned and let it rot away like ze Vierlande prison.
Since zere wasn't anyzing more for me to do in Hamburg, I joined ze Schwaben crew on zeir way back. However, ze moment we entered ze trade lane to ze Essen station, an ion storm hit us. We were catapulted out of ze trade lane sequence, some crew men were injured and 4 of zem died unfortunately but zanks to my new shampoo, at least my hairstyle held. After everyone recovered from ze shock, we found ourselves in a razer dark area of New-Berlin. A few minutes later, our sensors reported ze arrival of a big number of unidentified ships. Of course zey were attacking us...
After I pushed ze lifeless body of ze gunner from his chair, I was able to defeat ze first wave of zem. However, due ze movement during ze combat we came near to an unknown object. Ze closer we got to zis unknown object, ze more enemies appeared. Wiz our supplies running low and ze ship and its crew definitely not suited for such a mission, I ordered a strategic retreat. Based on ze weapons used by our opponents and ze prisoners we took, I believe ze attacker is ze Wild. Zeir presence in ze system is worrying. We delivered ze remains to ze Arnsberg Research Institute yesterday for furzer examination and I am curious to find out what ze unknown object is. I also have to find a safe place for ze prisoners. Somehow I don't want to send zem to Mecklenburg.
Speaking of, first I should check, whezer ze Gallic Gendarmerie finally started ze promised delivery of required workforce for Hammersee.
