The initial patrol today was with Obergefreiter Otto Weddigen. After meeting up in New Berlin we proceeded on an extrended Roaming patrol of the system. Whereupon we discovered one of the Harvesters doing whatever it is that its kind do. After attempting to engage it we never entered into Cruise Disruptor range and pulled out once we got too deep into an Asteroid field.
Shortly before leaving New Berlin for Hamburg we got a report of a Hessian Gunboat, the Obergefreiter docked and recovered his Bomber whereupon we proceeded to hunt down the offending Gunboat.
We discovered the Hessian known as Ave approaching New Berlin, he disabled the lane and forced us into engaging him though it was already out intent.
During the combat the Obergefreiter mistakenly used a Nova Torpedo when his shields were not raised and his craft was destroyed. Recovering his pod I proceeded to keep the Hessian engaged in my Wraith, its guns of little effect against the Gunboat but its own guns also having difficulty striking me, though my shields were brought down numerous times i only needed to use repair bots once the damage slight enough to only require two of the devices. I consider myself lucky that my call was heard and Leutnant Karl Westerman came to my aid in his own Bomber.
Though he confessed to not being an expert bomber pilot he bravely engaged and we worked together to bring the Gunboat low. Our combined efforts (me baiting its guns, him SNACing it.) Brought the vessel to its knees where our combined firepower finally obliterated the offending craft entirely though its escape pod was never found.
After a heartbeat we didn't hesitate to declare the kill shared.[/b]To: Rheinland Military Command. From: Gefreiter Auros Einheld.

After that we returned to Hamburg to find others engaging in chatter with a Mandalorian Mercenary, however there was more than enough firepower present to deal with the craft and I was authorised to land and get some Rack time.
