Comrades, today we bring news of victory. After I left to begin a patrol, I received a message from Comrade Steele requesting assistance in Frankfurt. When I arrived, I found him engaged with one of the Sails, id'd as Vito|Sails. Comrade Steele instructed me to keep him from cruising. He eventually slipped away from us, beginning a pursuit across Frankfurt and Munich. We eventually caught up to him and began the engagement again. This time, we had the assistance of Troll-4.
This time, we managed to prevent Vito from escaping. He was eventually reinforced by another Corsair, id'd as Bartolo_del.Torro. At this point, myself and Troll-4 opened fire. Vito himself eventually escaped by entering a trade lane. He closed it behind him, leaving his companion behind to face us. No honor among cannibals, it seems. Things like that are the reason we'll eventually be victorious.
During the fight with the second Corsair, a Rhenland Cruiser (RNC Victoria Luise) appeared on the scene. After a bit of back and forth discussion between ourselves and the cruiser's captain, he made this interesting remark.
Quote:[17.12.2010 00:43:26] RNC_Victoria_Luise: Herr Del Torro, you may break contact towards this vessel.
Either this Captain is a rogue working with the Corsairs, or the Rheinland government has ties to the Corsairs. I can think of no other reason why a Rheinland Military vessel would offer shelter to a Corsair. At this point, we got tired of the fascist's interference, and turned our attention to him. After a short battle, and a show of excellent tactics, the cruiser was an expanding cloud of dust and debris with no losses and only minor damage on our side.
From there, we encountered a Rheinland Battleship under the command of the rather incompetent Admiral Albert Wesker. After some back and forth where he proved himself to be an pompous windbag, he turned tail and ran away from Steele in a Hybrid Odin and myself in a Revolution bomber. We couldn't have scratched his shields, yet he still ran home leaving a trail of urine in his wake. As a parting shot, he claimed to have only aimed at disrupting our operations, and succeeding at that. Such idiocy in the upper ranks of our enemies is another reason we'll eventually be victorious.
With supplies running low, we all turned around and cruised for home. The trip was mostly clear except for an ambush by a Freelancer in a stolen Bretonian Gunboat. Just after we jumped into Omega-5, Comrade Steele found himself under fire from the aforementioned gunboat, ID'd as HeartsFear. Once we realized what was happening, we quickly turned the tables on him. Apparently, he was unprepared for an actual fight (or didn't know how to properly operate his stolen ship) because we began to put a real beating on him. Sadly, I ran out of Cruise Disruptors from the protracted series of engagements, and the idiot escaped with his life, though he certainly left the last of his pride on a rock in Omega-5.
With our spirits high, and our resources exhausted, we finally returned to Omega 52. Two titans heavily damaged, a Rheinland Cruiser destroyed, a battleship routed, and another gunboat routed, all with just two bombers and a fighter, and no losses on our side. Definately a great victory, and another step closer to the Red Dawn.
I certify this report complete and accurate to the best of my knowledge
