Hello, it's Harlow reporting in,

So we've started in earnest trying to deal with the crisis in Munich now. Seems infrastructure and such are slowly collapsing planetside as the dark matter catastrophe unfolds ever so slowly. People can't move away quickly enough and with the way things are going, farming can't keep up anymore and there's a legitimate food crisis happening.
Well, at the same time harvests in many regions of Los Angeles have been very good this year, and the prices of food are low.

We're trying to arrange regular shipments of food from California. Obviously with the border situation, not a lot of people are willing or capable of making the trip. Of course we'd have trouble landing on the actual planet, so we're relying on Junkers and other sympathizers to haul the food the last bit from the Augsburg wreck.

Anyway, I figured I could take out the Liberty and make a few trips. We've been on number of trips in that sort of region, the border between Rheinland and Liberty, so it wasn't hard to work out a good route.
On my way, I passed a Planetform vessel, the Tyrrhenian. Her pilots, Fiona and Simon hailed me, they were curious who I was and what I was doing. So, we spoke for a while over direct comms as we went about our business. I tried to explain the VWA as best I could, I think I did a reasonable job. They seemed sympathetic and even offered to donate. Maybe we'll hear from those Planetform people.

As for the route, it turns out the Widerstandsarmee isn't alone: I met a Bundschuh captain named Maria, flying a Pitbull-class named Andernach who was going the same way. We flew together a while, made the trip a lot more interesting. And it's encouraging to see our people trying to help out, of course.

I think I've covered everything pretty adequately. It's been a long day, and we've all earned our bar time for it. The Erntedank is performing great, although I really can't say too much yet, only really got the basic rundown of how to fly it. She's huge.

I'm sure we'll be making a lot more of these deliveries in the near future, they sure are needed.

Harlow out.

Following issued report concerns activities of Junker black marketeers as requested by Oberst Klugmann.

Patrolling our northern borders: Sigma systems 13 and 17 I have encountered odd collection of individuals between jumpgate and Kunashir cloud. Given assurances of Oberst that those do not pose any threat and are meant to be treated as neutral, following report will focus mainly on the Junker encounter immediately afterwards.

First encounter

Dated Pilgrim class liner by name "Junk in The Trunk" attempted to enter Kunashir cloud with intend to enter Omicron systems. Halted and questioned by both me and Eidolon Wraith, Junker flying for Congress flag begun disclosing rather interesting facts. Cargohold full of tungsten, lagging behind greater convoy that has already made its way to intended target was meant to reach installation in Omicron Rho system by name of "Alabama shipyard". According to information from The Order, it is shipyard in service to Core - rather unpleasant mercenaries with access to advanced technology and capital assets. Not only that, Junker also slipped out info that they make business with Corsair menace "from time to time". Fairly extensive double-crossing network they have set up.

It appears Eidolon Wraith and its escort were not amused of concept of Junker's cargo reaching Omicron Rho and forced it to redirect towards alternative route in Omicron systems. I followed, entering Edge nebula and making way through hostile Omicron Theta star system. The destination, marked on map star charts as Omicron 74 turned out to host some sort of Zoner shipyard in the cloud with considerable automated defenses set out to liberally engage anything it deems potentially hostile - including my Wraith fighter. I remained out of range to confirm sale of tungsten to "Livadia Shipyard", upon which Junker hailed back to Rheinland with toxic waste - no doubt with intend to deposit it with ALG facilities in our homes.

I have warned rest of our wing to expect arrival in Sigma 13 on my way back. Steve Harlow questioned both battlecruiser and junker, confirming everything they have told me. Entire reconnaissance flight went without an incident, evading any and all hostile patrols along the way. Running out of fuel given considerable lenght I had to go during this trip alone, I retreated to Bruschal and retired there for rest of the day.

This would be everything. Should I gather more intelligence I will fill it in with next report as it goes. Wolf out.

Guten abend,

On my usual patrol took quite a turn when I encountered 3 Federal Polizei near the New Berlin Jumpgate in the Frankfurt system, they stopped me and immediately tried to arrest me. But of course I wasn't going to let them have at it that easily, after refusing to let me go they engaged my vessel and I returned the favor. All 3 of the RFP ships were destroyed.

Nein, the introduction summs up the encounter.
