INCOMING TRANSMISSION
COMM ID: Lt. Borodin
LOCATION: Bremen System Cloppenburg Base CPW-Social Credit
TARGET ID: SCRA high Command
Commissars, Commanders, Comrades,
I have the regret to inform you of the Capture of a member of High Command whilst on front line duty.
Commissar-Captain Katz was aboard the CPW-Social Credit during a routine patrol that involved tense negotiations with members of the RHA over a recent defectee, one Frau Sommer.
The accompanying fighters, under the command of Lt. Commander Stenka Razin were charged with escorting the Social Credit back to Cloppenburg base, staging point for the upcoming Bremen operation.
The Commissar was attending to reports in his cabin when the Social Credit entered a heavily guarded Rhienland Militar system, running head-long into an advanced wing of Rhienland Wraith VHFs.
The Captain took the helm of the Social Credit as they wing jumped into Bremen to escape the guns of a localized Rhienland Battleship. However Captain Katz decided that the Social Credit was sufficient to cover the fighter withdrawal back to Cloppenburg and ordered the Social Credit to hold position to ambush the pursuing fighters, while the Fighters made for the security of the near by Bundshuch base.
The Gunboat was cleared for action, as Lt. Commander Razin, announced the imminent arrival of a Rhienland Cruiser the RNC-Emden. The Social Credits cruise engines were disabled before they could engage, to ensure that there was no chance for escape as the Cruiser jumped in, literally ontop of the gunboat.
The demand for the Social Credit to surrender was sent moments later.
Point blank range, surrounded by fighters, as more Rhienland troops poured through the jumphole, including a Vice Admiral
The Captain, seeing that there was no other choice, as the assault wing based out of Cloppenburg was only at partial strength, trying to mobilize assistance he did the only course of action that was open to him.
He requested the Rheinlanders give terms for surrender.
While the Admiral blithered on about troops boarding the Social Credit, the Captain was burning code books and sealed orders while Master Chief Byk sabotaged the computer cores and rigged the self-destruct devices with the assistance of Specialist Ivanov. The Captain ordering the rest of the crew into the pods as he made one firm resolution, his ship would never become a Rhienland Prize of War.
That was the last I saw of the Captain, before my pod and those of the crew were ejected. The resulting explosion gutted the Social Credit from stem to stern effectively scuttling the ship and rendering it useless to the Rhienlanders while still salvageable to our technicians.
Reports after the scuttling indicate that the RNC-Emden and Vice Admiral Schprokets were able to capture three of our escape pods, those on the starboard side that were taken by the Captain, Master Chief, and Specialist Ivanov.
The vessels were observed running towards the secret research facility Lt. Commander Razin identified in one of his earlier reports, Munster. And our observers indicate that no traffic too and from the station has occoured since. Giving us a narrow window of opportunity in which to mount a rescue.
The Social Credit was recovered, and is currently in pieces on the deck of Cloppenburg, Lt. Commander Razin feels it can be repaired given some time, and Lt. Commander Gonzales seems to be in agreement.
I am standing by awaiting further orders, but would like to stress that I am Volunteering for a Rescue Mission!
