Operational log, CS, status report on the aftermath of the Mecklenburg prison break on 10.12.831 18:00.
It has been a few days after the Platform strike teams executed the prison break from Hammersee's orbital complex. A pair 'DM' and Gloaming flotilla heavy support ships took advantage of the Unioner and Corsair raid on the same station... It has been a while since we've dived in the depths of the local conflicts head on against the imperials that the 'DM' were hesitant to restart the bloodshed yet our fireteams were ready to board the station for frontline combat; the same can't be said for the crew of the GFS-Heydenrei beating their hearts for battle as they were willing to join along in our defence from stellar-bound threats. Arriving on the scene showed signs of a hot mess, the Unioners and Corsairs were already exchanging heavy fire with the Military, Police and Agency QRF teams that had responded to their prison break attempt. We took advantage of a window of opportunity for us to sneak in and around the firefight, as the Unioners were already attempting to fly away with their prisoner haul and we're dragging a large majority of the QRF team with them.
Thanks to previous intelligence provided by Guy Sajer of the GFS-Heydenrei on both the penal colony and the orbital installation, we were able to identify a route around Hammersee and Mecklenburg's defence systems to ensure the safest path in and out. Once we'd clamped around the airlock of Mecklenburg, the breaching charges we used (supplied by Lena and her corporate supply network) were perfect for violent entry to several sections of Mecklenburg.
Once onboard there was an amazing amount of bodies and confusion, with the fleeing of the previous Corsair transport we met little resistance upon entry to the complex but heading closer to the prison blocks we met a sudden rise of security. Our boarding party was composed of three fireteams: Gamma, Delta, Psi. With myself attacked to Psi, we took the initial security by surprise as they were trying to imprison any stragglers that had attempted to break free, fireteam gave them a chance to drop their weapons, we were met with responding gunfire immediately. Fireteams responded as similar and treated any further encounters with security personnel, Gamma and Psi were tasked with trying to locate and rally we filtered an amount of unknowingly desperate, unjustly imprisoned and Bundschuh sympathetic into our escape and take measures to secure an escape route.
Unfortunately fireteam Delta's further foray into the isolation cells took heavy fire, key individuals that we deemed VIP were in the middle of being checked for their presence by the security team. Delta initially held a stalemate, I'm told we lost 3 Thuringians in the clearing of the Isolation cells as they didn't hesitate to push due to our limited time. Once they'd cleared the section of VIP's and KIA Platformers for extraction they rendezvoused with us while we were filtering the last of the 'liberated' prisoners through while security teams began to trickle in from other sections of the prison complex. We found ourselves retreating under heavy fire resulting in 26 injured prisoners that... Well they were running, not fighting... And they fired at them like a shooting gallery. We lost 2 more Thuringians who covered the tail of the extraction, along with rescuing injured prisoners in the firefight.
Escape got hairy once we sealed the airlocks and force-demoored from the station, we damaged our port airlock during the escape, but thanks to supporting cover from the (=)GFS-Heydenre, Sajer and his crew managed to keep our ship covered the second we docked to the moment we cleared the station. Imperial QRF teams were just about responding to our presence as we cleared ourselves at full impulse initially. Sajer managed to screen our frigate from incoming fire, I'll owe him drink for discouraging any further disruption attempts on our cruise engines. While the top layer took some plasma scorching from the stations defensive systems, we got out without any further injuries.

Platformers are assisting in recovery and humanitarian efforts on Bielefled, this is to support and flow the distribution of those rescued from Mecklenburg to other areas of space or to support their recovery. Several have found shelter under the platform, but also to build a manifest of those appropriate that are willing to aid our cause. But I must request any platform personnel able to aid in the effort of a temporary increase of human essential resources being delivered to Bielefeld Base this includes but is not limited to: Food, Water, Medical, clothing and other consumables.
