[color=#000000]Meine Genossen!

Me and Genosse Boehmer arrived at Hamburg to witness the Rheinland Military pirating transports using the excuse of the "embargo" to cover their mischievous acts. They used a cruiser to spearhead their impish operations, which me and Boehmer due to the lack of sufficient armaments were to avoid.

I attempted to commence a verbal assault on the cruiser and its crew to divert the attention of the Rheinwehr marauders, but somehow my ship electronics were fried during the process. As my systems came back to order in under five minutes, I was already being eyed by a Polizei Mjolnir-class vessel, piloted by Oberst Meyer. We had an eerie chat with the pilot, sadly concluding that the Polizist is as blinded by the propaganda of the Kanzler as most of his Polizei comrades.

Herr Boehmer arrived and a fight couldn't be avoided. It was most unfortunate that we had to destroy the Polizist's vessel, as we could have used it to turn against the tyrannic Kanzler and his supporters. The pilot evidently survived in an escape pod though.



Herr Boehmer's vessel suffered excessive damage during the shootout, so he had to conduct repairs. My electricity cables were hit though and they stopped working again, but I was back in space within ten or so minutes, only to witness that an entire Rheinwehr fleet arrived to the distress call of the Polizei vessel.

I attempted making my way to Wedel, but was caught on sensors by a bunch of fighters operating in Hamburg orbit. Admiral Malte herself was leading the patrol group and ordered a pair of mercenaries to pursue and destroy me.

At first, I thought I would be dealing with usual, low-life mercenaries but as one of the vessels opened fire, I realized they are operating with top of the line Outcast weaponry!

I was shocked, I've heard rumors of the Rheinwehr conducting secret deals with Outcasts, but openly siding with their vessels and pilots now, even having them to silence the voice of the Volk instead of the Rheinwehr doing so! It was a most intriguing encounter as I tried to reason with the mercenaries and gather information about their whereabouts. In the meantime, the Rheinwehr lined up a whole fleet on the edge of the asteroid field; a battleship, a cruiser and two fighter wings.

I ridicule at how they care more about silencing a single "saboteur" of their own kin than pursuing their stupid war with Liberty. The ion storms gave me time to evade as long as reinforcements represented by Genosse Reinhardt materialized. He attempted to take on the mercenary whom I have been avoiding thus far, but the ion storms made it impossible to conduct a fight, so the mercenaries withdrawn.



The ion storms turned out to be the foresight of a dark matter storm approaching, that rendered my ship's systems offline. Fortunately, a Unioner rescue team found our drifting vessels and towed us to Wedel safely.

Fuer das Volk!
