Excellent work, all of you. There will be another round of promotions coming soon with the influx of new rekruts, and as always they are well-deserved and hard-won.
There is little to report this time, except for the showing of our old friend, AzzAzEllO and his gunboat. I dueled him unsuccessfully in my first fleet engagement when I was but a rekrut myself, and more recently near Freeport6. But this time, with Ansgar's Thor and the RHA flagship, we brought our old foe to his knees.
He put up one hell of a fight, more than some cruisers I've come up against...so if you should encounter this one again, be cautious.
After tractoring the gunboat's cargo of Nomad weapons, Ansgar and I rushed to Omega-5, where Rekrut Markus was battling a Corsair Nephthys by the callsign of |ALMEROS|. Dieter docked his bomber, retrieved his Loki, and arrived before I did. A local freak ion spike in his targetting systems rendered him vulnerable to a mine, and his ship was destroyed. When I finally arrived, Almeros had restocked on Cadiz and was preparing to re-engage. The presence of the mighty Sternenfaust frightened him off, however, and Markus and I returned to Ronneburg.
An oddity of note, however...once Almeros had fled, he contacted me via private channels, claiming to be the captain of the Corsair Osiris |LEE|...and he challenged me to a duel in Omega-41. I, ah, politely declined to commit suicide, and cut off the communications.
