Forced Patrol began 2:45PM New Berlin Standard time. Having plotted a course to Braunschwieg for the recently scheduled training session I found Planet New Berlin swarmed with hostiles of all kinds; Bundschuh, Hessians, and Unioners. Despite having just returned to active duty, I gave holding them off a shot as I engaged.
I started on a hostile bomber, and I was doing well as I waited for those who were late for training to back me up. Eventually help arrived in the form of our newly enlisted Fleiger, Emily Hermundt and Feldwebel Klemmer. The engagement was fairly short after reinforcements arrived and ended without losses on our side.

Today's patrol didn't go much better, as Fleiger Hermundt and I responded to a distress call from Vizeadmiral Krupinski. He was under attack from a Hessian Gunship, which was quickly dispatched followed by a wing of Unioners and Hessians that came to support it. We were heavily outnumbered until we slowly began to whittle enemy numbers and Hauptfeldwebel Voelkel, came to assist.
Eventually all enemy ships were destroyed or forced to pull out but two, whom the Vizeadmiral continued to face despite the coaxing to pull out. It wasn't long before he realized it was the only viable option as the last two Hessians followed suit; one from heavy damage and the other due to oncoming ion storms.
I flew back to Planet New Berlin to end my patrol and finish forwarding the Hermundt sisters' papers to Admiral Engels, with my Wraith sitting in near perfect condition as always.
