I haven't finished assembling a proper account of what happened at Zwickau yet, beyond the fact that the engineering bays are full of ships that we simply don't have the capacity to fix right now. Metropolis is somewhere in Luneburg - I don't know where yet, but Alex is on it, and I'm trying to drag up enough engineers and materials to get her moving again if we can find her.
I still don't know where those ships came from. I didn't manage to get a full scan of any of them, but as far as force composition goes, this is what I've got:
SGHQ-Josef_Kurran - Cruiser
BDM|RNC-Niedersachsen - Cruiser
SGHQ-Konrad.Demerzel - Unknown
[RM]_Ge.Michael.v.Reims - Unknown
[RM]-Niflheimer - Dreadnought
At least we know what we're up against now. That's something, I guess. As far as I know, Alex and I were the only ones who made it out of that, and me only because I left before the bullets started flying. Erich's hurt - I don't know how badly, the Rose went up once I was well clear. In the chaos, I managed to slip past the cruisers to the base. It doesn't look to have any defense platforms in place, or even a shield generator. I'll be surprised if that doesn't change pretty soon though.
I called Cameron and Donnerkind back from Cloppenburg, and he's back on Bruchsal sorting out our resupply efforts now. In the meantime, I've managed to deliver a few vital items to Zwickau. It's not much, but along with Marco's cargo it'll have to do for now. I've also given the Natio ships stranded on Zwickau access to our equipment. After what they gave up defending it, it's the least I can do until we can get them flying again.
I need to go. Metropolis is still out there somewhere.
