Subject: Patrol #3
Location: Medical Bay, Planet New Berlin
Today's patrol was filled with action to say the least. It started out well but soon turned out bad. I started my patrol in the Hamburg system. I stationed my ship in orbit of planet Hamburg and started scanning incoming ships for contraband. It wasn't long tell my efforts produced a result. One of the ships that came through was carrying 50 units of artifacts. The pilot however proved to be very cooperative. As soon as I ordered him to cut his engines he complied. He claimed to be unaware of the fact his cargo was illegal. Because of this I confiscated the cargo and let him off with a warning. That was the good part of my patrol. The second half of this report is regrettably bad. After receiving reports of Junkers pirating traders in the New Berlin system, I decided to investigate. When I came across the Junkers said to be involved however I could not collect any evidence what so ever that they had broke any law so I was forced to give them a warning and an order to disperse. They complied willingly. Now this is the part where the patrol went from bad to downright deadly. On my back to New Berlin, I came across a hostile Corsair Gunboat under the name of Armando.Castillo. Seeing as I had reinforcements in system; RNC-Aachen and [RM]Of.Tanja.Voelkel, I felt it was my duty to detain the vessel to allow the rest of my task force time to reach the Corsair. Unfortunately due to a communication error of some kind the reinforcements proved too long in coming and my Wraith was unable to survive the fire of the hostile gunboat. Though my ship was destroyed the RNC-Aachern was able to arrive on the scene and run the gunboat off. RNC-Aachern was able to tractor in my pod as well.
Some good news is that the doctors say that I will be fit for duty again in under 24 hours.
