Operations Room, Vogtland, Dresden
Operations Officer Klinken in duty
"Listen up all! We have received a report from bomber Red Autumn piloted by Hautpmann Farb."
"The bomber wing sent by Vogtland to dispatch the RNC-Prometheus ultimately has failed in it's task. The Battleship was able to escape to Planet. You can see the ship escaping in the video1a, video1b and video2"
"The forces dispatched to take care of the problem consisted pilots of the most fine caliber Major Gryneus flying his famous Arado and Hautpmanns Herman Schnitt in Komet and Johannes Farb in Red Autumn. The report indicates that at first everything seemed to be going according to well rehearsed battle plan. There seems to have been present RNC|Tirpitz and a rag-tag bunch of fighters, Behemoth and other ships adding their firepower to the fray, but it is not unexpected given the fact that anything involving The Red Hessian Army seem to be a free-for-all occasion."
"Here you can see the photos included in the transmission."
"From the communication logs attached in the trasmission the battleship had been driven to dock and situation seemed to be well under control right upto the when Major Gryneus' ship computer crashed and he was out of the fight leaving him using all the auxiliary power directed to the engines to maintain control of the ship. After that the wing's situational communication seems sparse and more frantic. The fragmentary conversations indicate that RNC Tauren came and opened up. Given the new situation things were still controllable and RNC Tauren was going down, but alas Komet soon seems have experienced a mine hitting a critical temperature and have exploded right after Hauptmann Schnitt has released it taking his ship down."
"The report continues that Red Autumn faced insurmountable odds and phrase 'retreating with Herr Schnitt in hold' can be read here, but that's the end of the communication. We are currently launching search and rescue operation and are asking for volunteers."
*Almost all the hands of the pilots present in the room raise their hands*
"Good. Get suited up and we'll give orders when you are in the space."

"This is Vogtland control to S&R wing Kappa-2: Gute Nachrichten alle! Good news all! I have just received a word from Major Gryneus from Kreuzberg that they are safely there. Major had managed to fix the controls and pick up Farb and Schnitt and limp to Kreuzberg. You are cleared to return to base. Major Gryneus told to tell you guys who launched the S&R that a drinks on him tonight."
