Sirs,

I have two encounters to report. Firstly, whilst patrolling Dresden a few days ago I came across a strange pilot in the vicinity of Bautzen station. He seemed to register on my scanners as a vigilante of all things. As I moved closer to investigate I was able to determine him as some kind of freelancer, and he was piloting a Falcon. I knew the ship was no match for my Loki, but as soon as he was in range he engaged! Foolish behaviour, and I soon punished him by removing his ship from under him.



I was unable to retrieve his escape pod and bring him in for questioning, as a military patrol appeared on my scanners, along with a number of Wilde vessels. I quickly removed myself from the area, preferring to let our two enemies blast each other.

Today I decided to venture into Berlin. From the comms chatter I was able to identify 2 military vessels only, one an RM pilot, Johann Brunhild, the other from a different wing, Gerhard Weisse. I crossed Weisse's path near the jump hole to Sigma 13, and we engaged. He quickly fell to a well placed missile, yet my computers seemed to malfunction at the time. Checking the logs it appears that the destruction of his ship has been accredited to one of the DarkWing hunters, yet I have it on extremely reliable authority that at the time of my battle with the military pilot, the DW member was in the New York system! I include the data dump from my computers. Perhaps the technicians can isolate the fault and repair my computers.



Shortly after my destruction of Weisse, Brunhild appeared on my short range scanners, and we engaged. The fight was evenly matched, mainly due to the unbelievable ineffectualness of our trusted Natterturns. Despite repeated hits, they were barely able to scratch his shields, and I had to rely on my mini razor to remove them. This was effective, but as soon as his shields were down, he went evasive, rendering my mini razor, mines and missiles ineffective. Slowly, but surely, I was worn down, and when several Wilde ships appeared, I decided to withdraw from the fight, jumping to safety in Sigma13, from where I was able to return to Vogtland via Bruchsal base. It was there that I learned that the RM are apparently using graviton shield systems more frequently, which our Natters find particularly hard to penetrate.

For this reason I would like to request permission to mount Bundschuh Lugers to see how they fare.
