First degree burns, leg fracture *sighs* how luckily I got from this. It started as encounter with Red Hessian at Bonn-Stuttgart jump gate tradelane. He was threatening some Daumann miner. Our Leutnant tried to negotiate the miner's free way to Stuttgart. Soon after the miner passed, another two Red Hessians appeared on scanners. Then, the battle started. At this time, it was three vs three battle without any changes. I also saw one Rheinland gunboat far from battlefield. At this time, three or more Rheinland military vessels came. They identified themselves as group Iota, or something like that, my black box wasn't found after the battle. This group joined the battle alongside us, but Red Hessian army got reinforcements too. We had backup squad waiting at Bonn station. One of these guys was the Marinenachrichtendienst Oberinspektor in command of Oder class gunboat. He propably registered something weird on some of our ships. I registered it too. Thrusters... Reminds me my first duty in space when we met a traitor. Herr Koch initiated some scanning of the battlefield and was.. surprised is propably the right word. He reported multiple alien contacts in the field! Nomads.. Some of the ships engaging in the battle were infected by the Nomads. Oberinspektor Koch continued his scanning and.. marked an infected ship. It was one of the Iota group. But that wasn't everything. Gunboat I saw minutes before was second infected target. One cruiser which was alongside us kept firing on it. Battle turned into chaos. It became three sided and it seems everyone fired on everyone. Whole iota group was certainly infested by Nomads. Soon after, two Hessians and one Unioner concentraded fire on me. I was repaired twice. But I lacked everything else, mines, missiles and fatefully, countermeasures. This predeterminated destruction of my ship. I attempted to run, but it was too late. Lack of mines and countermeasure made shaking them out impossible. In moment of missile's fatefull impact, I fired myself in lifepod towards Dortmund. Too fast to be chased by them, even by their missiles. I am lucky I am alive, still in medical block and I will be here for some time, not for long I hope. Result of the battle is still unknown to me.
