At about 22:00 hours on 28 September 2008, I had stopped at Alster Shipyard to refuel the Phantom LF and have a nagging coolant leak fixed. While waiting, I accessed the remote radar array in Sigma 13 and noticed a Wilde ship approaching the New Berlin jumphole.
I immediately sent a flash message to Elbe Station requesting backup and to notify the Rheinland Military of a possible Wilde incursion. Moments later, New Berlin control sent a system-wide warning that a Wilde ship of unknown type had entered New Berlin space. I made an emergency launch from Alster Shipyard and headed to New Berlin.
As I approached the Sigma 13 jumphole from the Brandenburg tradelane, ships scanner detected the vile Wilde.Abschnitt in a Scorpion gunboat. I along with two other unknown vessels engaged the Wilde ship. It was a furious battle but the combined efforts of our three ships forced the Wilde to flee. The alien vessel escaped back through the Sigma 13 jumphole and was not seen again.
Though sustaining moderate damage, I made a quick sweep of the area looking for any vessels that might have been damaged or possibly infected by the Wilde presence. I then returned to Elbe Station to file this report and enjoy a frosty ale and apple strudel in the bar before heading home.
