***Incoming Transmission***
Location: Bonn Station
ID: Flieger Josef Brackmann
Before beginning my patrol pattern today I decided to take the opportunity to purchase and outfit a "Snubby" for myself, as per the requirements of the Rheinland Military. As I was on my way to purchase said bomber, I received an urgent transmission from Flieger Klaudia Linn. She informed me that a pair of Liberty vessels, a Cruiser and a Gunboat, were approaching New Berlin, deep in the heart of the Vaterland!
Knowing that her vessel was a fighter, I decided to quickly complete my journey, purchase the bomber and outfit it so that I might best assist her against the larger vessels. I immediately sent out a distress call on the emergency frequency (//RM emergency chat) and quickly loaded up my Bergelmir. I set out to return to New Berlin immediately, and saw that Flieger Linn had had similar ideas, and had expanded the battlegroup to include the RNC Kuun Lan, Flieger Cedric Stahl, the ]~WD~[RNC Wilhelmshaven and the ]~WD~[RNC Harkesheide.
As I entered New Berlin from Braunschweig, I checked my navmap and plotted a course to Flieger Linn's location. On the way, however, I encountered one of the two Liberty ships, fleeing. From a distance it looked like the Liberty Gunboat, one LSF - Dr. Faust, but it was difficult to tell the exact make of the ship from 6 clicks out. I immediately ordered the ship to cut its engines, but was ignored.
I continued to pursue the ship, despite my inability to stop it due to my lack of a cruise disruptor, and gave constant updates to the battlegroup on the gunboats position. During this chase, the combined forces of the Rheinland Military easily defeated the Liberty Cruiser.
Originally fleeing south and west from sector 5E where I found it, the gunboat changed course toward Bonn, docking with a tradelane in the process. I followed, also taking the tradelane, but due to my updates, just before docking the Wilhelmshaven, the Kuun Lan and Feldwebel Hans Klemmer blew past me. All four of us arrived at Bonn just in time to see the impossible. The gunboat docked with the station! (//Yeah, he actually did it)
Angered by the sudden loss of neutrality of Bonn Station, we kept the station surrounded on the offchance that the gunboat might disembark. After waiting an appropriate amount of time (//He logged off, never saying a word) we broke up the battlegroup.
I continued my patrol to the Stuttgart system, back to New Berlin, to Dresden and back to Bonn, whereupon I docked to hold a conference with the station board of directors. At the suggestion of Feldwebel Klemmer, due to my proximity of the situation (//I have SS of Faust's actions), I submitted what information I could about the gunboats docking procedures with the station and demanded an explanation. (//A formal complaint has been filed with the admin)
At the moment I am still docked with Bonn, awaiting word from the board of directors, who have graciously comped me a suite for the night. I will keep my communications lines open, awaiting any possible further instructions from the command staff.
