Karl,
I'm not sure how long this channel will be secure so I'll be brief.
I have granted docking rights to your ships on the base in O-R. Feel free to use this station to rest and replenish, but please do not draw any attention.

Opening contents...
Guten Tag, Rhapsodie,
Ich don't need access to any of your bases, keep them for yourself. Ich habe enough for what Ich need.
If du habe any more questions, feel free to meet me again, Ich got nothing against. Though currently Ich am busy, as Ich habe some things to do, not your business, nothing personal, so not too soon. Stay frosty out there.

Karl,
Verstaden, however I must admit I am disappointed. Ich had hoped that by offering you something you may be more inclined to help with my own request:
Ich habe found ein jumphole to the 'North' of the station, from charts I believe it is to a system known as 'Omicron Minor'. I deployed a probe to the system which detected many, many wrecks; like a great battle had been fought. During this period ich saw also several nomad schiffe coming from this jumphole und so believe this area is closer to 'The Light'?
Ich hope that you would be willing to guide me through this area, and possibly onwards if there are further systems. Ich feel es ist too dangerous to go alone, und there is nobody here I trust.

Ich could not wait and had to go without you.
Ich saw the destruction in Omicron Minor, ravaged by war. 'Hell' as a fellow explorer aptly called it. An entire planet burnt, and so many lives must have been lost - es ist clear why you did not want to show me.
Ich cannot understand why the Light would do this, or why Rheinland would be hiding this from history. I will search for answers elsewhere.

I awoke yesterday morgen to a voice. Nicht a voice in mein ears, but in mein head. "Komm" it whispered, nothing more. I ignored it, thinking I was going mad. "Komm" it said, louder und more clearly. I carried on for the rest of the day mit my daily routines, und this voice became louder and like a drum. "KOMM"..."KOMM"..."KOMM".
Last nacht, after not being able to sleep, I left mein station, not telling anyone my plans, fur I did not know myself. I followed die voice, for many hours and it became ever clearer und more... songlike?
I found myself at a gate... like nothing ich habe seen before:
The voice now singing "komm". Mein schiff is too old und heavy fur unstable jumpholes so I did not trust it here either, carrying on in ein shuttle.
Through radiation and asteroids I traveled, the shuttle barely holding together, until I reached ein station not made by human hands. Die voice fell silent. Zwei people greeted me outside and welcomed me, as though they knew why I was here, when I myself do not. Und yet, despite the shuttle getting weaker by the second und die alien structure before me, ich bin at peace.
They told me to dock, and I tried to, although the docking bays are not clear, but the shuttle's hull failed at the final moment. One of the men rescued me and took me aboard. So here I am, stranded, awaiting whatever fate has been decided fur mich.
