After the incident with the LSF in New Berlin, I returned to Bonn Station to finish filing my report and grab some bunk. I was awoken by a distress signal coming from Omega-7. Three hessians, [RHA]Emil.Meier, [RHA]Kasimir.Richter and [RHA]RHT-Seehund, were targeting traders. I suited up and grabbed my fighter and found Flieger Lewis Shepherd in the vicinity. Together we headed toward Omega-7. While we were enroute, the Hessians destroyed the trading vessel Bayern_Transport.
While we were headed toward the Stuttgart Jump Gate, we ran into a pair of Polizei who offered to accompany us, Alfred.Neumann and RussianBeer. When the four of us arrived in Omega-7 we found only two of the Hessians remaining, Emil and Kasimir, fighting with several freelancers and mercs.
We announced our presence and intent to assist and Neumann, Shepherd and I joined the battle. RussianBeer sat there, watching, and seemed confused. After a few minutes of taking an intense beating, the two Hessians fled the system to Omega-7. At that point, one of the mercs, David.Williams, admitted he'd been paid to do a job, and he intended to finish it. He began opening fire on Flieger Shepherd.
We three began to return fire, as did the freelancers present, including Guard and Clint_Meyers. A third freelancer, Luka, decided to sit it out and see who won.
Guard was put out of action by David.Williams, and was then joined by [RHA]Ernst.Neurath and a Hessian "Heimdall" gunboat, ID'd as Raubvogel, which came out of the Omega-11 Jump Hole (which we had chased the previous Hessians to and were fighting at nearby).
Alfred.Neumann was taken out by David.William's Supernova Torpedo, while Flieger Shepherd was shot down shortly after by the "Heimdall" gunboat. I continued to fight for some time with the remaining three hostiles, but eventually their combined firepower overwhelmed me, and my ship was destroyed by the Hessian gunboat. I ejected in my escape pod and was only recently retrieved by a passing Daumann miner on his way to Bonn Station in New Berlin. I am currently awaiting a replacement vessel for outfitting.
