They have taken her. I decided these people in suits were not worth messing with, and I let them have my Raven's Claw. I kept the weapons and equipment, at least...I'm going to get my Marauder back. And something else, as well.
The Captain has agreed to let me pilot an armored freighter as a commerce raider, which is a task I feel well-suited for. Now I need only choose which one of the two available to us I will fly...I just hope that Freistadt will still allow me to land. Last time, they shot at me as I left. I may have to evacuate my family from there soon...

We are already having a hard time in Rheinland and borders as Unioners. Our resources are draining away day by day. We also know that you are willing to side against the military as we are and our ultimate purposes are making RepEX pay for their mistakes while enforcing the Military give considerable losses in order to make them begin negotiations. However we will need time to succeed in what we are planning so far.
Nothing about Red Hessians exist in our agenda at the moment and acquiring a new enemy would be the last thing we would want. In this state, we are willing to stay as neutral against your faction and thereby state we would open fire only if we are severely provoked. We are waiting for your response on this matter urgently and going to reevaluate our stance against RHA accordingly.

I am lucky enough to've been given passage on a trader to where I can get my Marauder back...and access the comm logs. Welcome, Comrade Krupp! It's good to see our ranks swell, we need the manpower. See you in space!

Subject: Further evaluation of our stance
We are hard-pressed that is true, but we are not in an alliance yet. We do work on our accounts for the time being. I advise you not to be follied with believing in the bombastic nonsense of Unioners being a prolongation of Corsairs. We are aligned with them on well terms that is true but our long term agenda is entirely different. We do not have an interest in the remote systems, since our resources would not already let us and that would not be wise to venture out there while our borders are not totally safe.
Secondly, we might agree on staying away from Dresden since I can understand your concerns about your zones upto an extent. However, as long as our stance against the Corsairs stays on good terms, Unioners may work with them. Therefore, I would advise you revise your 3rd term. In brief, your 2 terms sound acceptable while the 3rd one makes me think about it twice.

From:
I have made my presence known to the RM in New Berlin, I was patrolling the Sigma-13 jumphole field in case any of the vile corsairs dared venture into a system so near Dresden.
I was accosted by a marauding Rm pilot, however after draining his sheilds he was joined by 2 more wraths and a bomber, and i fought on nearly destoying the bomber with my sunslayers, but alas i was destroyed by a missile salvo from each of the fighters and was forced to eject and call for the nearest Hessian or junekr to come to my aid.
Luckily one of my former lieutenants in the Helghast was with some junkers and brought me to Kreisburg, and i have gotten my ship remains hauled there for re outfitting.
I expect to be back on duty in a few days.
As to my duty, what are my patrol parameters and rules of engagment, as i am currently unclear.
Also i need to know my full rank and tag information as i am refitting my ship and need the call-sign. My current call-sign is {Helghast}[RS]~Karol.Olsav

Subject: Last phase of our stance against RHA
We do not have any reason to be hostile against RHA unless they treat our vessels as hostile. [W] vessels will not aid any faction bound or individual vessel against RHA in Rheinland and borders.
