Several days have passed since this occured, I beg you will excuse my tardiness in bringing this up. I have had some pressing on planet business I had to attend before I could make my report.
It began in the Omega 7 system, some time after the appearance of several nomad vessels, which were repulsed of neutralized. I was conversating with some other members on patrol, at the time.
It was then we recieved a distress signal from deeper within the cloud, by our own Flieger Klaus Schwerdtfeger. The cause, I found out, along with another Rheinland agent, and Bootsmann Voight, as well as an Auxesian, A/)-Revenant, though they were standing by the whole report, was a Freelancer, Cipriano.Adimari(//|Aoi) who apparently wanted to "chat" with our new Flieger. Given a past... incident we've had with him, I did not like whatever cause he was supposedly around Schwerdtfeger for. The Rheinland agent and the Freelancer seemed to have a... not very friendly past.
Before a fight almost ensued between an aggravated officer and the Freelancer, I dispersed the situation, and ordered them back to Freistadt. The Freelancer was loosely stalking us, I later found out, all the way through this report.
From there, I returned to Planet Stuttgart, where, while I was speaking with Flieger Schwerdtfeger on the contents of his chat, I came back to a distress call, and found a Rheinwehr Revenant class bomber disabled, with the Freelancer standing by it. Immediately I knew what transpired, we engaged him. Due to the efforts of several agents, the so called "Mercenary" was finally put down. It appears he had rather malicious intentions against us. He needs to be placed under arrest and bountied immediately, before he can cause further damage.
Afterwards, myself, the RNC-Rugen, and Bootsmann Voight were engaged by a Unioner Cruiser, the Gewuhl, and another Unioner gunship, the Leipzig. Our lone cruiser was outclassed against two capital vessels, and our fighter weaponry were ill equipped to deal significant damage against their large armor.
I signalled for backup, and the [RM]KKS-Wetzlar and [RM]KKS-Bussared arrived, and neutralized the subjects.
With Rheinland clear once again, I returned to Planet Stuttgart.
That is all.

Once again, my most sincere apologies for the delay. The reason for the wait was to find any leads that might explain some confusion. Needless to say, all the above was not all that happened that night.
It began in the Omega 7 system, some time after the appearance of several nomad vessels, which were repulsed of neutralized, as. I was conversating with some other members on patrol, at the time. This you know. However, that was not everything that happened. I also came across one Bootsmann Frieda Voight, which may have brought some questions to you on the de-encrypted version, as she has not been seen for almost three years. The appearance after the long absence was odd, to say the least. She somehow still knew me, though apparently had gone through a "mishap" during that time.
We were interrupted. It was then we recieved a distress signal from deeper within the cloud, by our own Flieger Klaus Schwerdtfeger. The cause was the Freelancer, Cipriano.Adimari(//|Aoi) who apparently wanted to "chat" with our new Flieger. I failed to add the previous addition beforehand, there was a... very good reason he wanted to chat.
[25.02.2024 23:15:44] Cipriano.Adimari|Aoi: I was concerned I would miss my opportunity for the two of us to chat.
[25.02.2024 23:16:01] [RM]Obl-Jurgen.Schmidt: Whatever "chat" you wanted with that officer, is directly my business
[25.02.2024 23:16:04] [RM]Fl-K,Schwerdtfeger: There is nothing of interest I have to tell you
[25.02.2024 23:16:20] Cipriano.Adimari|Aoi: No, it was not, because I fear neither you nor I may receive a truthful answer.
[25.02.2024 23:16:41] [RM]Obl-Jurgen.Schmidt: Hm? And why is that?
[25.02.2024 23:17:04] Cipriano.Adimari|Aoi: I saw you, out there, in the Edge.
The flieger shrunk away after that, and I brought everyone back to Stuttgart. I had a... bad feeling about whatever was happening, and I needed to discuss with them in private.
First, however, I wanted to know a little about the returning Bootsmann. I inquired where she had been, and she responded she had been confined to "on planet training" during those years. I knew this not to be true, as I had seen her in the Buro during that supposed time.
She said she had some disagreements with some of the other Rheinwehr agents, and that was her punishment. It was at this time Oberleutnant Roth had to refuel, and departed, and was ambushed while alone. Me and the Schwerdtfeger returned by the planet shortly after, and I inquired of what he was doing in the Edge worlds.
While recalling his story, we were interrupted by the Mercenary, and Roth was shot down before we arrived.
Everything that happened after this time in my report happened exactly as written.
It was after this time that I recieved my long due explanation from the Flieger.
The purpose to the expedition, I found out, was an impromptu investigation, after some sketchy occurences surrounding the BDM and another freelancer, Caliban.
Another cell of the Buro attempted to bribe Caliban for the evidence, which was extremely odd, and the flieger followed them of that accord.
From there they were stalked, all the way, by the Freelancer, and potentially several others who were with us in this report.
This is what I came to discuss. Flieger Klaus Schwerdtfeger traveled alone with suspect individuals, Cipriano Adimari has been following him, the MND and specifically the BDM is investigating itself and making deals against itself, and any names and entities listed in this report and the previous may also be part of the puzzle, and must be carefully observed. As well, any returning entities that have returned to service within the past month must also be watched.
Something is going on.
