Begin transmission..........
Today was a bit too eventful for my taste, it seems mercenaries have stepped up to the plate to collect that bounty on our very own Katharina Guntram. As I was about to begin patrol I saw everything was clear, so I left Guntram in the hands of Silth Fuhrmann.
After my coffee I began to remotely fly my Wrath from head quarters back to New Berlin. I sent transmissions to both Guntram and Fuhrmann, and became worried when I received no reply. I undocked to find a mercenary gunboat trying to take out Guntram, luckily I had refitted my bomber and was ready to test her.
The contact was "CareTaker" after a few supernova shots to his hull and shield, Elyots appeared and helped Katharina keep the gunboat's shield off for the continual nova runs. It didn't take long for the gunboat to realize his mistake as he already was trying to cruise, but it was far too late. The chase ended with his loss of a valuable piece of machinery.
Just as I was off to dump the report off, a Unioner attacked I was forced to turn around and engage. As it was a four on one he was getting pounded pretty hard, but I was continually distracted by a junker by the name of Van. After the Unioner ran for his life we went back to secure the planet.
Now I have reason to believe the junker Van is taking orders from the Slavers Union as he attacked one of our loan bombers (Silth Fuhrmann) while Katharina, Elyots and myself engaged an outcast destroyer at the sigma-13 jump hole. Fuhrmann reported that he was taking heavy damages, I reluctantly called in bomber support in the form of Vice Admiral Freelamen.
When the Vice Admiral arrived on the scene I pulled to Fuhrmann's location once there I ordered him to retreat while I engaged the junker. After putting a few holes in his hull the vice admiral showed up. He seemed to be having even less luck on the bomber that had come to back me up and jumped to Dresden.
Due to all the attacks and suspicions I propose that all mercenaries be denied access in to Rheinland ABSOLUTELY NO EXCEPTIONS. I also propose that all junkers be labeled kill on sight.
