*** MESSAGE BEGINS ***
Ever since I saw the results of whatever happened to the people I've managed to rescue from the alleged AI ship Scornstar and later linked the Harvester ships to it, I've been wary of letting those ships operate inside of Rheinland territory.
These last few days I've been continuously issuing to them I didn't want to see them operating in Rheinland territory anymore. They kept saying they do not meant harm to us Rheinlanders, but when I hailed the ship Scornstar in Stuttgart weeks ago, it was carrying a variety of people from all around Sirius. If what those people I've rescued suffered weren't in itself a crime against humanity, I still wouldn't allow those robotic ships to operate as they please inside our territory.
Today I met a couple of Harvester ships. I ordered them out in Hamburg and they didn't respond, but as me and Gefreiter Richter followed them, they left to Bering. As they were leaving, I told them not to return.
Later I picked up again two of their ships operating in New Berlin. Quite fed up with their disregard to our authority I decided to issue command that all ships were found and destroyed. Me, Hauptgefreiter Quentin and Gefreiter Richter went to investigate, as I approached the Kreuzberg station, I picked up two of their ships while they docked. I stood orbiting the station and decided they would hide there and wouldn't come out.
As I left the station, one of the KoF traders contacted us reporting that their ships were outside again. We moved in to intercept. In total there were three cruisers and a mining ship that took a hostile stance and attacked us. The trader, DarkRupture, bravely but unfortunately tried to help us and ended up destroyed by the ships. A military Wrath registered to Norman Ludwig came in to assist us. It was a fierce battle between us, but we conquered the robotic ships.
