Reporting yesterday's Dresden patrol.

I launched from The Ring with full supply of fuel and ammunition, and headed towards Brandeburg station, brief contact with LWB rookies, all KIA. Way from Brandenburg to Dresden went smoothly, no hostile contacts. Jump to Dresden was succesful, this time there wasn't ambush on the other side of the gate. I docked to the lane to Bautzen and entered AO. I disrupted from FTL flight after few minutes only, scanner picked up readings of hostile and friendly contacts; Primaryflotte Wraith piloted by Gefreiter Elias Beist fighting "armee" craft used by Sigurd.Falkenbusch. Once Gefreiter Beist confirmed request for assistance, I activated weapons and engaged enemy. Terrorist pilot wasn't skilled as some of his allies, but incoming Ion Storm made skrimish difficult. During fight scanner released readings of Polizei and Secondaryflotte vessels in close proximity, which didn't engage due to problems caused by Storm. Gefreiter's Wraith was severely damaged already when I arrived, and was shot down by the terrorist; I tractored pod and returned with it later to Bautzen station. At some point dueling bandit became impossible, we both broke off. I docked at Bautzen and released Gefreiter where he waited for next transport to Berlin, replenished ammunition and fuel supply, and launched for fields inspection.

Mentioned earlier Secondaryflotte gunboat, U-99, accompanied me on my request, during patrol we carefully checked Kruger and Daumann Lavafelds, as well way from Leipzig to Altenburg, no sign of hostiles. We returned to Leipzig safely, and I used Daumann Unexpected Expenses Account to transfer 100 000 Krediten captain of U-99 as a payment for cooperation. On my way back I met freelancer miner Malign in Kusari transport, who intended to mine in such ship, in Dresden additionally. I instructed him about basics of mining business, and advised to sign contract with Daumann. No enemy forces spotted on my way back from Dresden, not bothered I returned to The Ring safe.
