I forgot to report an incident that occurred a few days ago. I was just setting out from Vogtland, when I picked up a Wilde (Wolfram.Manfred) on my long range scans. I moved to intercept immediately. I caught up to it within the vicinity of Bautzen.

The thing proceeded to try and tell me that we humans were invading its space, and that we should leave. It was unable to listen to reason, saying that its kind were here first, and ignored all my communications, up until the point where I pointed out that it was merely a parasite. An infestation of a human host. That's when the talking ended and the fight began.

He was a tricky one, for sure. I could take his shields down easily enough, but as soon as that happened he went evasive. My firestalker was next to useless in the asteroids, so I called on Shimada for assistance. When he appeared on the scene, the Wilde quickly ran for the diamond fields, where he was able to evade our cruise disrupters.

However, as we were passing Bautzen again, we ran across the Daumann mining vessel, D203. Shimada was loathe to engage at first, worrying about the loss of innocent Rheinlander lives that destruction of the ship would cause. Once I pointed out that they new the risks when they signed up, and that they had every opportunity to join or support us, rather than work for the vile corporations, his resolve was fortified and we made short work of the vessel. Shimada's guns did most of the damage, but I was able to take the killing shot.



Given that the vessel was so close to Bautzen, I am confident that the crew would have been rescued. Let us hope that their misfortune prompts some of them to reassess their motivations in working for Daumann.

Florian out.
