I proceeded on my patrol of Hamburg nothing was amidst so I decided to lead onward to New Berlin. I was flying through first part of New Berlin nothing amidst again So I thought this was going to be a quiet night. I meet up with RM at the planet and provided cover for one RM Pilots who was scanning ship into and out New Berlin.
Time Code: 100 ZULU
I dispatched to take care of some escorting duties for a ship called Derlict. We proceeded to destination without a hitch. I then bid him good bye and proceeded back to New Berlin.
Time code 2:00 Zulu
A dragon gunboat was in New Berlin and there was no RM to be found. He had the jump on me by stopping my escape luckily I was able to dock New Berlin as he was fight two Unioners in from of new Berlin.
The gunboat was nowhere to be found so I proceeded to Frankfurt to get some help a Merc called Slayer. the dragon Gunboat appear out of nowhere and started try in to disrupt my engines as a dodged and weaved the attacks. managed to escape his clutches I got slayer out of Frankfort and proceeded to New Berlin to have him help destroy the Dragon Gunboat and the unioners if they ere still around. The unioners ships were still there. I was able to doge and weave my way onto the planet again since the unioners were again fight. Lost my shield twice but docked.
Slayer[Merc] was admirable he fought to the death but the unioners had two ships and no match to his ship and was taken down, if I only had a gunboat I would of made a difference. Slayer[Merc] needs to be commended on his service and lose his ship.
I will discuss the aquisition of a Gunboat with our COO and CEO at the next appropriate point. At this point I will say no but please leave it with me and I will see what we can do.

ON MY WAY OUT OF RETIREMENT
I started my patrol of New Berlin and met up with Victor(old RM) helping out watch the system. I stayed for a while supporting Victor.
Time code 1:00 Zulu
I got a call from a [KOF]trader for a escort from Sigma 17 to Honshu then from Honshu to Grand Carina (omicron 47). So most of the time I was escorting these traders. No hostilities found? So it was quiet. the we had two ion storms that knocked our ships badly so we docked. I repaired my ship and waited.The storms did not let up for hours.

"First I would like to express my deepest regret for what happened to Mr. Cummings and my sincerist hope that he make a full recovery.
However, the company must go on, and there are profits to be made, even in these dark times.
Today I took my ship (Behemoth) out for a trading run and linked up with RepEx-Security|Gunther for a run to Kyushu and Cambridge. Upon entering Sigma-13 the detestable pirate T(w)inky tried to stop us. Gunther engaged Tinky and I made a run for it. I managed to escape into Honshu with Gunther but Tinky followed us. After several minutes of persuit, (I ashamadly lost my way and put RepEx Security forces in futher danger, I apologize Gunther) we escaped into the New Tokyo system. Tinky did not follow us but then an Ion storm hit and disabled all ship functions. When I managed to get them restored Gunther was nowhere to be seen. I hope that he is alright. I continued on to Kyushu and Cambridge, where I linked up with RepEx-Security|747 His help was invaluable in getting from Cambridge to New Berlin as we encountered several pirate factions along the way. I made it safly to New Berlin and took a nap."

From: RepEx-Security 747
My prays are with the Cummings Family at this time, whoever as done this foul deed will not go unpunished. I think I can say without fear of contradiction that the Security Dept will bring down retribution to those that committed this act. I suspect it might be a repraisal from the corsairs
On another note pleasure working with you 868, be sure to look out for you again.

!!! Warning !!!
Today i was moving from Brandenburg border station to New Berlin via trade lane. After 2/3 of the way, trade lane had a malfunction and i was threatened and pirated by a Corsair, callsign "Strike". A Corsair in the heart of Rheinland!
This Corsair should be treated with extreme caution, because he was flying a Corsair Gunboat. I know about the uses of these ships very well, when i served in the RM and fought them in Omega 15 many years ago.
So please inform your traders and your security personal.
I informed the head of my company and the command center of the RM too.
Respectful
Georg Paulsen
