EMERGENCY FLASH REPORT:
Guten Tag Admirals,

We had a priority 1 incident in the New Berlin System today.
On a routine patrol near Planet New Berlin, I picked up a strange signal on my scanners.
Suddenly a few crippled radiotransmission came in.
Nobody was able to understand what the person on the other side tried to transmit.

After making visual contact with the ship, it was far away at this time, I ordered in a backup patrol that was near by.
I realized that this ship must have been big that I could make it out even without my scanners.
I asked if New Berlin had a Bomberunit ready and they did. What a luck!

The source of this Ship was still unclear, so I decided to take a closer look.
After coming close I was stunned.
A Libertonian Battlecruiser was right sitting in front of me.
The name on the hull read "LNS GLORY".

I decided to bring in 2 Gunboats, the "SOLINGEN" and the "LIBERATOR"
(we should think about renaming this Gunboat Sirs).

The Solingen send out a Marine Boarding Unit which docked at one of the Airlocks.
The boardingcrew broke through the Airlock and found a few bodys with liberty brevet on the shoulders.
Sings of gunfire were all over the place.
The Bridge was empty and the marines found the logbook of the commanding Officer.
Seems like they have been on a Border Patrol near the Texas Jumpgate in Bering.
One of the Marines found a dead body in a Rheinlad Military outfit.
The Sollingen suddenly lost contact with the Marines and we heared sounds of gunfire inside the LNS Glory.
Just after some seconds the enginges of the LNS Glory begun to start up and the weaponssystems went online.
We all could "hear" or feel what had happend.
The Wild.

I ordered all units to open fire, as the LNS Glory moved towards Planet New Berlin.
The speed of this Cruiser was incredible

and our only chance to stop it was to aim for her engines.
I gave the order to cut them down with concentrate fire.

The LNS Glory stopped right in time before breaching through the atmosphere.
The liberty Cruiser bursted into 2 pieces, which died down in the atmosphere of Planet New Berlin.

Regarding to this incident I assume, that we cancel all free time and order every pilot back to their bases.
We should also move more units into Bering to ensure that we have got enough time to mobilize our forces if liberty moves out for revenge.

Liberty is not aware of the Wild and due to the Rheinland ships and the Rheinland uniforms, they could have set off an emergency broadcast to Manhattan, that Rheinland ships were attacking the LNS Glory.

This could mean war.
And I was aware of that at all the time during my command of this Operation, against the LNS Glory.
It was a hard, but well thought out decission to take this liberty Cruiser out.
Possible war or the loss of Planet New Berlin.

I am awaiting decisions from the Admirality and from the Gottkanzler himself, about my future due to this incident.


Fuer Rheinland, Fuer den Gottkanzler!
