Guten Abend Officers,
after returning from Hamburg, i spotted another unfamiliar signature near Planet New Berlin. A Kruger vessel was present during this incident as well. The unknown ship kept about 10 klicks away from the main traffic hub and observed. Before i could approach it for further investigation, first a Technocrat vessel and then, not long after, two Unioners appeared. To not give either of those two parties an unwanted opening to approach Planet New Berlin and nearby stations unhindered, we held our positions.
They kept their distance, as did the unknown ship. With a mere back and forth of words, both Unioners decided to leave rather than toss away what little kept this from going south.
[25.10.2022 21:07:49] Kruger|Schwermetall: ?: Hey small Light?
[25.10.2022 21:08:04] [RM]Obl.Trau.Habermeyer: Guten Tag, Kruger Ve-... ... ssel?
[25.10.2022 21:08:40] Kruger|Schwermetall: Guten tag Frau Habermeyer! Looks like a small light lost the directions ..
[25.10.2022 21:09:19] [RM]Obl.Trau.Habermeyer: Apparently so. These days become more and more peculiar...
[25.10.2022 21:10:46] A/)-SV-Starstream: Greetings!
[25.10.2022 21:11:19] Kruger|Schwermetall: Wow, today nothing makes me nervoes again ..
[25.10.2022 21:11:34] [RM]Obl.Trau.Habermeyer: Guten Tag once more, Auxesia vessel. We ... might have something of higher interest today.
[25.10.2022 21:11:37] [RM]Obl.Trau.Habermeyer: Compared to ... yesterday.
[25.10.2022 21:11:42] A/)-SV-Starstream: Technocrat vessel, but hello again!
[25.10.2022 21:11:51] Ramme: K: Nomad on scanner.
[25.10.2022 21:11:52] [RM]Obl.Trau.Habermeyer: My bad, i had a long day.
[25.10.2022 21:11:54] A/)-SV-Starstream: Oh? More interesting things?
[25.10.2022 21:12:09] Ramme: K: Preloading everything.
[25.10.2022 21:12:11] [RM]Obl.Trau.Habermeyer: Have you not picked it up yet?
[25.10.2022 21:12:17] A/)-SV-Starstream: I did see some, uh... Union people running around bu - Oh, right.
[25.10.2022 21:12:18] A/)-SV-Starstream: That thing.
[25.10.2022 21:12:27] [RM]Obl.Trau.Habermeyer: Unioners as well? Where and when?
[25.10.2022 21:12:35] A/)-SV-Starstream: One was by the Stuttgart gate on the lanes.
[25.10.2022 21:12:52] [RM]Obl.Trau.Habermeyer: Mhhhf...
[25.10.2022 21:12:59] A/)-SV-Starstream: Didn't seem to want to stick around.
[25.10.2022 21:13:06] A/)-SV-Starstream: And that thing is... well, it's certainly a thing.
[25.10.2022 21:13:10] A/)-SV-Starstream: And it seems to be going out of range.
[25.10.2022 21:13:17] [RM]Obl.Trau.Habermeyer: Wise choice in that case. And ja, that ... it is.
[25.10.2022 21:13:51] A/)-SV-Starstream: I'll go check.
[25.10.2022 21:13:53] [RM]Obl.Trau.Habermeyer: Afraid i have to investigate this nonetheless.
[25.10.2022 21:14:16] Ramme: K: More targets on scanner.
[25.10.2022 21:14:28] UN]-Thomas.D.Anke: Guten Tag.
[25.10.2022 21:14:45] UN]-Waldemar.Kleinholz: Halloechen, Militaer.
[25.10.2022 21:14:52] [RM]Obl.Trau.Habermeyer: Mh, the Technocrat vessel did not lie...
[25.10.2022 21:15:06] [RM]Obl.Trau.Habermeyer: Mhhhhm. Guten Tag, Unionist.
[25.10.2022 21:15:16] UN]-Waldemar.Kleinholz: That's how low you step, Military?
[25.10.2022 21:15:20] UN]-Thomas.D.Anke: The lie often, though.
[25.10.2022 21:15:23] UN]-Thomas.D.Anke: *they
[25.10.2022 21:15:29] UN]-Waldemar.Kleinholz: Conspiring with half-humans now?
[25.10.2022 21:15:58] [RM]Obl.Trau.Habermeyer: Quite fast to jump to conclusion, aren't we? A simple conversation. As you clearly can see ... i even have those with you.
[25.10.2022 21:16:20] UN]-Thomas.D.Anke: Those tincans should be scrapped, nothing more.
[25.10.2022 21:16:22] UN]-Waldemar.Kleinholz: Of course we are having a conversation. From actual human to actual human.
[25.10.2022 21:16:47] UN]-Waldemar.Kleinholz: You had a conversation with someone- no, something different.
[25.10.2022 21:16:54] UN]-Waldemar.Kleinholz: Bah!
[25.10.2022 21:17:10] UN]-Thomas.D.Anke: Having a conversations with a toaster also isn't that much of an archievement.
[25.10.2022 21:17:21] UN]-Waldemar.Kleinholz: Das stimmt, Kamerad.
[25.10.2022 21:17:51] [RM]Obl.Trau.Habermeyer: There is days i'd rather converse with said 'toaster' than some others. Each their own, i suppose.
[25.10.2022 21:18:09] A/)-SV-Starstream: That's weird.
[25.10.2022 21:18:17] A/)-SV-Starstream: One of the Unioners is using Liberty technology.
[25.10.2022 21:18:18] A/)-SV-Starstream: Huh.
[25.10.2022 21:18:43] UN]-Waldemar.Kleinholz: Blabbing Toasters incoming.
[25.10.2022 21:19:02] UN]-Thomas.D.Anke: Now that's a big boy.
[25.10.2022 21:19:09] UN]-Thomas.D.Anke: Mind if i take it for a testdrive?
[25.10.2022 21:19:33] UN]-Thomas.D.Anke: Ach menno...
[25.10.2022 21:19:38] A/)-SV-Starstream: So... what do the Unioners even do anyway?
[25.10.2022 21:19:45] UN]-Waldemar.Kleinholz: Ja, schade drum.
[25.10.2022 21:19:58] UN]-Waldemar.Kleinholz: Not indulging your kind.
[25.10.2022 21:20:02] UN]-Thomas.D.Anke: We fight for the rights of the working class.
[25.10.2022 21:20:12] A/)-SV-Starstream: Weren't you legal a few months ago?
[25.10.2022 21:20:16] [RM]Obl.Trau.Habermeyer: Seems he was not interested. And a good question. *She pauses a moment.* ... ahhh.
[25.10.2022 21:20:30] [RM]Obl.Trau.Habermeyer: Well, they all had been absolved of past crimes. Many seem to not care all that much for it.
[25.10.2022 21:20:30] UN]-Waldemar.Kleinholz: Kamerad Thomas, do not indulge that one.
[25.10.2022 21:20:31] A/)-SV-Starstream: How are you fighting for the rights of the working class again?
[25.10.2022 21:20:38] A/)-SV-Starstream: By gassing them on the shipyards, right?
[25.10.2022 21:20:52] Kruger|Leichtmetall: ?: Did someone talked about a big boy?
[25.10.2022 21:20:57] UN]-Thomas.D.Anke: Well, we got absolved of the crimes, but not a lot has changed, has it?
[25.10.2022 21:21:08] UN]-Thomas.D.Anke: Now that is a lot of food.
[25.10.2022 21:21:09] A/)-SV-Starstream: Honestly, I still don't know why the Unioners gassed Alster.
[25.10.2022 21:21:15] UN]-Thomas.D.Anke: The LWB would be mad seeing that.
[25.10.2022 21:21:23] UN]-Waldemar.Kleinholz: There was nothing to absolve in the first place.
[25.10.2022 21:21:35] Kruger|Leichtmetall: ?: Good that they dont see it.
[25.10.2022 21:21:38] RNC-Wodan: Mein Gott! What is this?
[25.10.2022 21:21:55] [RM]Obl.Trau.Habermeyer: Depends on who you ask.
[25.10.2022 21:22:10] [RM]Obl.Trau.Habermeyer: Guten Tag, Wodan. A most peculiar gathering.
[25.10.2022 21:22:24] A/)-SV-Starstream: So, how do you even fight for workers rights anyway?
[25.10.2022 21:22:29] UN]-Waldemar.Kleinholz: This is not worth the bloodshed.
[25.10.2022 21:22:30] A/)-SV-Starstream: How does shooting people get them rights?
[25.10.2022 21:22:31] RNC-Wodan: Quite a party here I suppose
[25.10.2022 21:22:40] [RM]Fl.Albert.Bartel: Guten Tag Trau.
[25.10.2022 21:23:02] UN]-Waldemar.Kleinholz: Some military lapdogs, some undesireable ... lifeforms, a weird ping on my scanner farther out.
[25.10.2022 21:23:10] [RM]Obl.Trau.Habermeyer: Oberleutnant Habermeyer for you, Flieger. *She sounds slightly tense.* ... but ja, guten Tag as well, Bartel.
[25.10.2022 21:23:38] UN]-Waldemar.Kleinholz: Some blabbing on my comms too.
[25.10.2022 21:23:51] UN]-Waldemar.Kleinholz: This is too convoluted for my liking.
[25.10.2022 21:24:01] UN]-Thomas.D.Anke: I concur.
[25.10.2022 21:24:07] A/)-SV-Starstream: Oh, they can't even answer my question!
[25.10.2022 21:24:15] [RM]Fl.Albert.Bartel: What we have today. Squid and 2 unioners. Hm, quite unusual mix.
[25.10.2022 21:24:18] UN]-Waldemar.Kleinholz: Not indulging your kind, Auxesian.
[25.10.2022 21:24:25] A/)-SV-Starstream: You mean, you don't know how to answer?
[25.10.2022 21:24:29] A/)-SV-Starstream: That's what I'm getting from it.
[25.10.2022 21:24:42] [RM]Obl.Trau.Habermeyer: Quite the unusual mix indeed.
[25.10.2022 21:24:42] UN]-Thomas.D.Anke: Sighting Unioners in rheinland really such a strange phenomenon?
[25.10.2022 21:24:58] UN]-Waldemar.Kleinholz: Not indulging something that is so far beneath me, Auxesian.
[25.10.2022 21:25:06] A/)-SV-Starstream: You know, killing people and being aggressive usually makes people want to go against you.
[25.10.2022 21:25:08] A/)-SV-Starstream: Not help your cause.
[25.10.2022 21:25:26] A/)-SV-Starstream: Then again, you work with the Corsairs, so eh!
[25.10.2022 21:25:34] A/)-SV-Starstream: Not much to expect in the first place anyway.
[25.10.2022 21:26:17] [RM]Obl.Trau.Habermeyer: Oh, do we now? Cuddling up with Corsairs?
[25.10.2022 21:26:19] UN]-Waldemar.Kleinholz: Kamerad, I say we should leave to come back at a more opportune time. Let the Military do it's "job".
[25.10.2022 21:26:34] UN]-Thomas.D.Anke: Sicher, let them do their "job".
[25.10.2022 21:26:44] RNC-Wodan: So what's with the Unioners?
[25.10.2022 21:26:51] A/)-SV-Starstream: I guess they really want you to follow them.
[25.10.2022 21:27:25] [RM]Obl.Trau.Habermeyer: Into the next best ambush, pfah.
[25.10.2022 21:27:40] A/)-SV-Starstream: Well, your Gunboat followed them.
[25.10.2022 21:28:07] [RM]Obl.Trau.Habermeyer: Not under my direct command. Is it being engaged?
[25.10.2022 21:28:07] A/)-SV-Starstream: Oh, they... just docked on a Police Station. Are they not illegal?
[25.10.2022 21:28:38] [RM]Obl.Trau.Habermeyer: As i said, they were pardoned before. Those two have not been on my list of recent unlawful activity.
[25.10.2022 21:28:48] [RM]Obl.Trau.Habermeyer: Not that i expect them to be legal....
[25.10.2022 21:28:56] A/)-SV-Starstream: After what they just said? And acted?
[25.10.2022 21:28:58] A/)-SV-Starstream: That was strange.
[25.10.2022 21:29:02] [RM]Obl.Trau.Habermeyer: Now ... what is it about this ... 'thing'?
[25.10.2022 21:29:23] [RM]Fl.Albert.Bartel: Sesms it's not gonna to fight us
As i had expected, a Unioner gunboat was picked up by long range scanners only a short while after the previous two had left. No doubt banking on us having taken the bait of its allies earlier on. With us still guarding Planet New Berlin, it immediately altered course and steered clear of sector F5.
The Nomad, on the other hand, proceeded to close the distance by roughly four to five klicks. My instruments started to show all kinds of readings, as its glow increased considerably ... only to subside again. About to issue orders to drive it off further from sector F5, to not endanger civilian and commercial traffic, it began to glow a second time and then simply vanished on the spot. We presume it was using some sort of jumping technology, but its small size left us rather puzzled as to how this is possible in the first place.
25.10.2022 21:29:42] [RM]Obl.Trau.Habermeyer: Speech is not prohibited in Rheinl-... Unioner gunboat next to the Planet. I knew it.
[25.10.2022 21:29:44] [RM]Fl.Albert.Bartel: Oh, something new, what a day...
[25.10.2022 21:30:01] [RM]Obl.Trau.Habermeyer: Yet another contact? What is it now...
[25.10.2022 21:30:23] [RM]Obl.Trau.Habermeyer: Vanished from scanners again.
[25.10.2022 21:30:33] [RM]Fl.Albert.Bartel: Faiding and lost, we have to invistigate I suppose
[25.10.2022 21:30:39] [RM]Obl.Trau.Habermeyer: But ja, it seems to ... what. Observe?
[25.10.2022 21:30:45] A/)-SV-Starstream: That is weird, are all Unioners legal?
[25.10.2022 21:30:48] A/)-SV-Starstream: Or just a select group?
[25.10.2022 21:31:10] [RM]Obl.Trau.Habermeyer: Not all of them. Several of them have already tossed away the absolution they received for past crimes.
[25.10.2022 21:31:18] [RM]Obl.Trau.Habermeyer: It is ... a mess, to put it mildly.
[25.10.2022 21:31:31] A/)-SV-Starstream: Sounds like it. Some of them were shooting the Military in Xi.
[25.10.2022 21:31:43] [RM]Obl.Trau.Habermeyer: RNC-Wodan, Technocrat vessel ... be advised. We had a Unioner gunboat on our scanners for a brief moment.
[25.10.2022 21:31:52] A/)-SV-Starstream: Well, is it hostile?
[25.10.2022 21:32:12] RNC-Wodan: Copy that. We'll keep an eye on the area
[25.10.2022 21:32:23] [RM]Obl.Trau.Habermeyer: I had it's signature only briefly on my instruments... but that one is. Ja. It took part in several attacks on civilian,
[25.10.2022 21:32:27] [RM]Obl.Trau.Habermeyer: commercial and military targets.
[25.10.2022 21:32:29] [RM]Obl.Trau.Habermeyer: Me included.
[25.10.2022 21:32:35] [RM]Obl.Trau.Habermeyer: It's callsing is the 'Leipzig'.
[25.10.2022 21:32:35] A/)-SV-Starstream: Ah.
[25.10.2022 21:33:43] Vagrant.Phobos: *as light goes closer, its glows brighter*

[25.10.2022 21:33:51] [RM]Fl.Albert.Bartel: We have to do something about this thing in the area
[25.10.2022 21:33:52] RNC-Wodan: Also, what's the situation around here?
[25.10.2022 21:33:57] [RM]Obl.Trau.Habermeyer: Mhrch... it does not keep it's distance anymo-... hold up, what are those readings.
[25.10.2022 21:34:36] [RM]Fl.Albert.Bartel: Scanners blink
[25.10.2022 21:35:16] [RM]Fl.Albert.Bartel: Is that jump drive tech?!
[25.10.2022 21:35:31] A/)-SV-Starstream: Interesting.
[25.10.2022 21:35:46] [RM]Fl.Albert.Bartel: it can jump that small in size?!
[25.10.2022 21:35:55] [RM]Obl.Trau.Habermeyer: Redirect civilian and commercial traffic from this junction. And keep distance to it - i don't intend to be taken with it to
[25.10.2022 21:35:58] [RM]Obl.Trau.Habermeyer: Kaiser knows where
[25.10.2022 21:36:27] [RM]Obl.Trau.Habermeyer: *Frowns* Wait ... the energy readings subside again... ?

[25.10.2022 21:38:10] Vagrant.Phobos: *still once again, the little light brightens*

[25.10.2022 21:38:34] [RM]Obl.Trau.Habermeyer: I have seen enough - the amount of alien incursion into New Berlin these past days is more than worrying. And _this_ ... is
[25.10.2022 21:38:38] [RM]Obl.Trau.Habermeyer: certainly not right.
[25.10.2022 21:38:40] Vagrant.Phobos: *as light's task is completed, its on its way to leave the darkness alone*
[25.10.2022 21:38:57] A/)-SV-Starstream: That is ... very weird.
[25.10.2022 21:39:00] [RM]Obl.Trau.Habermeyer: RNC-Wodan, Flieger? Prepare to -...
[25.10.2022 21:39:05] [RM]Obl.Trau.Habermeyer: ...
[25.10.2022 21:39:11] [RM]Obl.Trau.Habermeyer: ... *Sighs* Well.
[25.10.2022 21:39:16] [RM]Obl.Trau.Habermeyer: That is one way to solve this.
[25.10.2022 21:39:20] [RM]Fl.Albert.Bartel: It's gone!
[25.10.2022 21:39:23] RNC-Wodan: And it's gone in a moment's notice
[25.10.2022 21:40:05] [RM]Obl.Trau.Habermeyer: This has been ... new.
[25.10.2022 21:40:27] A/)-SV-Starstream: Wonder what it was doing.
[25.10.2022 21:40:48] [RM]Fl.Albert.Bartel: I think we have to intecept next time o mater what
[25.10.2022 21:41:11] [RM]Obl.Trau.Habermeyer: So do i. And i a agree, Flieger. But not without proper precaution.
[25.10.2022 21:41:17] [RM]Obl.Trau.Habermeyer: Those energy readings spiking? Twice?
[25.10.2022 21:41:35] [RM]Obl.Trau.Habermeyer: Kaiser knows what it could've done by hitting it at the wrong moment...
[25.10.2022 21:42:33] RNC-Wodan: Anyways Wodan will be returning to New Berlin
[25.10.2022 21:42:44] [RM]Obl.Trau.Habermeyer: Acknowledged, Wodan. Danke for your help.
[25.10.2022 21:42:49] 2022-10-25 21:42:57 SMT Traffic control alert: RNC-Wodan has requested to dock
[25.10.2022 21:42:56] [RM]Fl.Albert.Bartel: Yeah, ait least twice. We would never know until we try.
[25.10.2022 21:43:12] A/)-SV-Starstream: It'll probably be a good idea to chase them out.
[25.10.2022 21:43:29] [RM]Obl.Trau.Habermeyer: I will relay those findings and scanner data to the Oberkommando. Prior interactions might have the answer we seek.
