At 7:46 SMT, we received reports of a Red Hessian Army cruiser, the Varyag roaming around New Berlin, Admiral Rall's cruiser, the Ammersee picked up its presence in the system. A bomber wing was scrambled consistent of me and Flieger Steiger on reserve, we moved to the system to intercept.
The ship was repeatedly picked up by several probes around Brandenburg, Bonn and in the distant proximity of Dortmund, where I eventually found him, standing by to ambush a trade lane. The Varyag engaged its cruise drives, starting to flee above an asteroid field, I commenced pursuit.
I was disrupted once by a rookie patrol, but remained in pursuit from a 10 clicks range, keeping the ship in visual. A few minutes later it stopped and opened up attack protocols to terminate my bomber. Of course, I used the opportunity to dodge its projectiles and give away its location to the Ammersee and the other bomber.
The said reinforcements arrived, following about a minute of dodging with success. As soon as the Ammersee was in range, the Varyag powered down and attempted to talk with Admiral Rall. I saw no need for a negotiation with terrorist assets, given that it was the usual political rant they always present, we've seen a lot of it already. Surprisingly enough, it was the Varyag's captain to order a firing command first, targeting the Ammersee.
We received orders to commence our firesupport with the bombers, the Varyag was destroyed in a minute, even though it managed to moderately damage Admiral Rall's command vessel. The Ammersee was then in need of repairs, but I fetched my Wraith and continued a patrol with Flieger Steiger, on reserve.
During our... interaction with the Hessian cruiser, we intercepted transmissions of a Corsair vessel, ranting about his Hispanic origins and even detailing his weapon systems. We couldn't leave that unnoticed, so we flew to track him down.
A distress signal from the Stuttgart jump gate made our search easier. Apparently the corsair, designated as "fraquarl" assaulted a Kruger miner, the Pacific. We swiftly interrupted the pirate's activities, forcing him to power down. I offered him the chance to surrender, but he chose the difficult way out, so I had a duel with him, resulting in my quick victory which I achieved with a mine in the third pass.
As we were about to return to base, we came across a mercenary, Alexander Vargas, who was seen attacking Rheinwehr forces during yesterday's Texas operation. I immediately ordered him to leave Rheinland and he surprisingly enough, complied as requested.
Me and the Flieger on reserve landed in the fighterbay of the Stausberg afterwards and signed off patrol.
