you may wonder why I'm looking like a Samstagmorgenautowäsche this awful morning. No - it's not (only) the common hangover I'm having, and yes - it's not my room in the background. Uhm, it's the hospital deck on Freital. Yell at me, beat me to hell or **** the **** out of me ******* Sandkastenrocker. However, nothing of that could help the situation, since I'm suffering three two broken legs. You don't really want to know how this was possible. Actually I considered to tell you an alibi like that it happened during a fight in my Odin... but hell, you would have found it out anyways. Call it stupidity, but I broke them legs in the bar at Freital. Nun, it was a drunken bet with a friend, and I was challenged to do a triple back salto from the bar table while emptying two glasses of beer. No, of course I wouldn't have tried it if I weren't 110% sure, that I'd make it!!! However, it seems like it wasn't my fortunate day, and so I only managed to do half a turn, when I crashed the two glasses into my face, slipped off the bar table, pinched both my legs into a bar chair, and... well you can imagine the rest. The consequence is, that I can't be ***** to step (got the joke?) into an Odin or any other combat vessel for like the next three months (or less). Ja, that totally *****. You might ask now, what use I remain to be for the Army? None. (Well, I could do a bartender's job for example. Hell no! I wouldn't dare to abuse such a position... But it also might be better to stay away from bar tables for the time being, nein?) Oh well, I'm afraid that you'll give me the sack now, and I'll have to leave the primary force for suff. No doubt, that I'll fly my Odin again, once my health will allow me to. Anyways, I guess it's better to say goodbye for now. I'll try to stay in touch.
During a skimish between Hessian and Rheinwehr forces, an unsettling relationship between the Reaver Mercenaries and Rheinland forces was revealed. The dialogue data packet attached shows an officer of the Rheinwehr giving "Void,Reaver" a "preliminary job" to neutralize a hostile, "Kill.That.Tag", who at the time was fighting the militar along side us.
Now, as I understand it, the Reavers currently have access to Hessian technology. However, this incident is a clear disregard for the relations we have had between the Hessians and their company. I think we'd better start asking questions.
Reporting in about my first patrol mission. The day started off rather peacefully. Started my patrol at the New Berlin gate in Stuttgart. The first two transports to fly by gracefully 'donated' to our cause, for a total of 6 millions, soon to be wired to the armoury.
Things got hot rather quickly after that. First, we encountered a Rheinland carrier. Joined by the 'Berserker' and the Rot Front bomber 'Fliege', we quickly dispatched of it.
Shortly after, we found ourselves attack by numerous capital ships as well as their escorts. Our gunboat was forced to retreat, while myself and 'Fliege' held them off until our reinforcements arrived. Once our comrades joined us in battle, tides quickly changed and the military forces started retreating.
The aftermath: only one of our fighters was downed, however the pilot is fine. We downed one of their fighters as well, and forced several of their capitals, the Battleship 'Holstein' in particular, to urgently dock. Rest assured they will be out of commission for quite some time.
A few days ago, I did a little sabotage mission on Krupp Munitions. My takeoff from vogtland was at approximatly 12:52 Vogtland station time. In addition to the standard armament my Odin was equipped with a powefull drilling device. By drilling through the outer hull of the station I planted there transmitter which will cause malfunctions on the stations toilet flushes in the admirals lounge. The results should be hilarious - the toilets flush in reverse. Just imagine a fountain full of turds going splish-splash up those corrupted butts. The idea for this little move I got from my last vacation in the Kusari system.
Right after planting the probe my contact alarm was showing that hostile 3 targets (2 Wraiths and a Gunboat) were approaching. Military obviously decided to end their Strudelbreak and finally had arrived. They had the numbers, so the only thing I could do, was playing on time. No need to cause suspicion! By acting casual and evading them for some time I subtly directed the contacts to the nearby asteroid belt, where i was backed up by an LWB Arbeiter with the callsign "Lahme Ente".
One of the Military guys and the pilot of the LWB had some REALLY strange story going on between themselves concerning bananas and stuff and the Rheinland Military Gunboat which was present at this time had a callsign relating to a move (possible spy from Liberty?). All in all, not my kind of conversation.
By giving them false intel about a fictional mothership, I further delayed and potential repercussions until a SCRA gunboat arrived which was summoned by the LWB pilot. Things got hot quickly after that: First, we started balanced fight, where me and my wingman focused fire on one of the wraiths. We made sure that both of the wraiths were busy. However one of them must have been able to dispatch a distress signal to the command center.
The aftermath of our little brawl: the Military dispatched the poor Lahme Ente. In the following duell with the Admiral i shot his ship until it exploded. My badly hurt odin was not able to withstand another round with the remaining Wraith, so I had to take a dive into my escape pod.
just some minutes ago, I returned from quite an interesting encounter. After starting from Vogtland base, I did a sweep thought the Dresden system. Long range scanners picked up the mass shadow of a lonely Wraith that seemingly was surveying the giftnebel. I did not know if he had obtained any information of value but I decided to take no risk and opened fire. After ten minutes of combat a DHC- labeled Eagle arrived and offered the Military pilot his assistance. However, my interception of the RM vessel still was successfull, although the pilot tried to cut his losses and back off after his vessel sustained heavy damage during combat. After the Wraiths demise, suddenly my controlls went mad because of the approach on an ion storm. I decided to get some distance to the Daumann fighter as we both were not able to connect effective shots. That's all.

My next report is about the patrolling of Dresden system and a cooperation with SR member of pirate movement of outcasts.
I started from the Vogtland to the Dresden system and was informed about the increased activity of RM patrols in that zone lately. As soon as I jumped out of the Jump hole my scanner caught the presence of enemy vehicle. It was a gunboat class warship, when in range a scan revealed its highly reinforced armour (the Rheinland military machine seams to be better equipping its units nowadays). I was piloting a bomber so headed straight to the destruction of the enemy.
When the fight has begun, the outcast bomber, pirate from Samarran Raiders appeared and started to attack the RM gunboat with me, saying something about the revenge for lost slaves in Rheinland. Honestly I didn't pay too much attention to his own reasons, as long as he was supporting my side "the enemy of my enemy is my freind", wise people say.
The poor Rheinwehr gunboat stands little chances against super heavy hessian Thor, but against Thor and Roc its zero to survive.
The enemy ship was destroyed even faster than i expected and he has blown up right behind me after launching the snac.

Yesterday, two diamond thievs were discovered on a routine patrol within the Omega-11 system. A Percheron class transport, call-sign HasT, and fighter escort, call-sign [RS]-Arygal^. The escort responded to our patrol with hostile force in an attempt to cover his accomplice's escape. Both were neutralized.
Again, today the same two culprits were discovered attempting to steal diamonds for a second time. After a short chase, both were caught and destroyed after making a run for the Omega-41 system.
Call signs HasT and [RS]-Arygal` are declared hostile and to be shot on sight. In both instances, they were caught in the eastern field. Consider it a priority to make sure neither are able to escape with Hessian diamonds.
A patrol within the Stuttgart system was interrupted in its early stages by a Rheinwehr fighter unit, piloted by the Vizeadmiral as far as I could tell. I called off a pair of Hessian bombers and cruiser already engaged with the fighter to deal with the threat myself. Not long in to the fight, a second militar fighter came in to range and engaged. Despite countless orders to stop from the commanding Rheinwehr officer he continued. Fortunately, this second pilot was unskilled and I was able to dispatch them quickly.
It wasn't long until a second wraith of the same call sign tag as before came in to range and, again, opened fire against orders. Luckily, again, the pilot was unskilled and dispatched quickly. It does say something about the lack of discipline within Rheinwehr ranks, both in competence and obedience.
Finally, I was able to dispatch the Vizeadmiral with no further distractions... Though my ship had taken a beating. I headed straight back to Vogtaland bay for repairs, given that my ship was in no fit state to continue the patrol.

It has been a rough night, sitting there in my pod, waiting hours until it was safe to pick me up. For those who don't know what happened: In the early evening, the 3rd of March, herr Klever, Azariah Kyras and me encountered a Rheinwehr pilot at the Stuttgart gate in New Berlin. After he saw us he immediately called back-up. Soon after they arrived a fight initiated. After lots of hitting running and dodging my ship blew up, obviously. They told me reinforcements kept coming from both sides. After a rough hour of fighting the Rheinland military forces gave up, resulting in a win for us. Anyhow now my old ship is in pieces I'll have to buy a new one, that way I can assist the Hessian forces again in the near future.

I just wanted to let you know my new ship is assembled and good to go.
It's an Odin equiped with two improved Debilitators Mk1, four Natterturn Zwei and a Natterturn turret.
The package included a Nuclear mine, mark 8 armor upgrade, train cruise disruptor, advanced cargo scanner and a class 10 shield.
A common but decent setup. As you can see I'm ready to assist our forces again in the fight.
