---Guten Abend, Damen und Herren, yesterday's patrols began as normal. I received communications from Vizeadmiral Voelkel, requesting that I, and others, join him on patrols and a possible later reconnaisance mission. Our first order of business was to investigate some possible Corsairs in Omega-7, upon arrival we realised we were not to be disappointed, as both a Corsair gunboat and VHF were present. After Herr Voelkel attempted to reason with them and get them to leave, they decided they had had enough and engaged. Herr Steiger joined us here and, combined, we took down the gunboat, with myself giving the final blow, a SNAC to the main engine area. The VHF, after the destruction of the gunboat, decided to flee, thus leaving the immediate area clear of hostiles. After this, Frau Admiral Malte arrived, and, after expressing a certain amount of distress at us leaving her nothing to fire at, directed us to continue our patrols. On our way back to Stuttgart, we came across a Kishiro Technologies train, under the callsign "Kishiro|Akira", that was drifting in upper Stuttgart orbit, after some confusion, and attempting to verify it as a registered Kishiro vessel, the Captain contacted us, stating that he had been having some engine troubles and had to head down to the engine room himself to supervise its repair, leaving him unable to communicate. He eventually returned to his command station and had his vessel moor at the Stuttgart mooring point, and he continued with his business thereafter.

===Section Heading Found: The Reconaissance Mission===
---At the conclusion of our normal patrol, Vizeadmiral Voelkel proposed a reconaissance mission to Admiral Malte, mainly consisting of a probe into New Hampshire, and a cataloguing and photographing of anything of interest. For this, I transferred from my Bergelmir that I had been piloting to my Wraith, which I requested to be outfitted with a higher-definition guncam for the operation. We dodged multiple stationary battleships during our mission, but, aside from a momentary systems failure on the part of Herr Steiger, there was no major incident. For the sake of clarity, the planets have been named in order of our scanning of them, since the designations given to them by the Libertonians are unknown. Also attached is photographs of some of the stationary battleships, as well as a few images of a Universal vessel resupplying one, and another few images of them opening fire on us as we passed, perhaps giving our engineers some insight as to their armament. Upon our return, I off-loaded the data from my guncam and scanners to the Moselle, as well as samples of water from a nebula we discovered, for more permanent storage while we continued our patrol, unfortunately...this is the end of my report, somehow at this point my memory...fades...and I was told I was found in a jettisoned escape pod with some pretty nasty wounds, nothing the Rheinwehr's doctor's couldn't handle, but it seems at some point I was involved in a pitched battle and must've hit my head, they said I'm cleared to fly, the only effect seems to have been that memory loss, which both them and I found to be extremely odd but there is nothing to be done about it now.
