Kaiserliche Rheinwehr [RM] - Message Dump

[Zig]

Incoming Transmission: Feldwebel Holger Just

Having practiced some fighter combat with Hauptgefreiter Botzler in Braunschweig (a skilled pilot, the Rheinwehr is better for him), I formed up with Flieger Fischer and set off to patrol the Dresden system. Dresden seemed fairly peaceful, up until we arrived at the Battleship Altenburg - shortly afterwards, all hell broke loose.

The Flieger and I encountered a Corsair warship battling a lone Red Hessian Army fighter pilot, Dennis Koppe - the Corsair proved more intelligent than most of his kind and fled as we made our presence known. A further Red Hessian Army pilot, Ernst Neurath, cropped up on close-range scanners; Herr Koppe and Herr Neurath launched a joint attack against us. I dispatched Herr Neurath with a Mini Razor shot, Flieger Fischer detonated a torpedo on Herr Koppe's hull.



I ordered the Flieger to continue our patrol after the above interlude; it never came to that, however, as a massive Hessian Tears cruiser, escorted by RHA pilot Adolph Hessler, emerged from the Giftnebel and opened fire on us without further ado. Herr Hessler, at any rate, was somewhat talkative, but The Flying Dutchman's comms remained completely silent. Herr Fischer and I began dodging cruiser missiles and gunning Herr Hessler's hull down while Leutnant Engels arranged for bomber reinforcements in New Berlin; Federal Police and Military pilots came to our aid, but the Red Hessians' ranks were also being bolstered. The result became a full-blown battle southwest of Dresden's New Berlin jump gate.

The Rheinwehr took command of the fight - an RSS reserve pilot lost his ship (no surprise there), as did Flieger von Speer, who had the misfortune to be sucked into combat in his unarmored Wraith, but the Red Hessians were being steadily hammered. Due to frequent target rotation, towards the end, most of the Red Hessian pilots had hardly any nanobots remaining - unfortunately, they -all- ended up escaping due to the actions of two reserve gunboats, Olympos and . Eh, we vaporized the cruiser.



Olympos and charged into combat with only an "engagin" apiece to herald their arrival; both reserve gunboats were packing missiles and began laying down liberal fire despite orders from Leutnant Engels and myself for them to cease fire and vacate the area. The appearance of the two gunboats demoralized the Red Hessians and scattered them back into the Giftnebel, costing us all the takedowns we'd been working hard to achieve. Once our units had pulled back to New Berlin, Olympos contacted me over private comms and began berating me. Its commander informed me (*Holger looks disbelieving*) that he: refuses to take orders from any Rheinwehr pilot, will open fire on any Rheinwehr pilot that attempts to do so in future, and will "assist the hessians next time" (a direct quote). I recorded the entire conversation, Admiral Malte - contact me to receive the transcript. Olympos has committed open treason and we cannot and will not stand for it.

As always, I serve Rheinland. Respectfully, Feldwebel Just.
