This patrol was rather unique for me. The Vizeadmiral Voelkel joined me on my route through Rheinland last night. I must confess, I was rather nervous having a person of such rank with me, but he quickly put these nerves at ease. Voelkel is a very interesting man. One day, I'd like to pick his his brain. I can only imagine the stories he has to share.
As we made our way through the systems, we encountered a Feldwebel and he joined our group. Later on, a recruit also joined us. Elsa I believe her name was. Quite a capable Fraulein. The Feldwebel and the recruit were sent together, while Voelkel and I proceeded to scan the surrounding systems. He took me to Sigma 13 and we spoke for a short while of the conflict that had occurred. He asked questions about the eighty years war. This piece of history fascinates me greatly and I'm glad I was able to answer his questions correctly. There is such a unique air surrounding the Vizeadmiral. Truly, he has been steeped in war and politics.
On our return to the New Berlin system, we met back up with the Feldwebel and came in contact with a Libertonian trader. He seemed quite unaware of the current conflict. The Vizeadmiral took this opportunity to evaluate my skill in dealing with such dissidents. First, I kindly explained the situation to this pilot who claimed to be a Rheinlander. Why any citizen of our great nation would fly Libertonian garbage, I cannot say. He was making no sense when he spoke and I have low time and tolerance for foolishness. I put some fear into him and told him to move along and perhaps invest in a change of vessel before I see him again. Apparently, this was enough and he left.
I'm almost disappointed it hadn't come to conflict. I do so love killing fools. I suppose that's what the Hessians are for. After my patrol with Voelkel, our history lesson and the removal of a minor nuisance from the New Berlin system, I docked aboard the Strausberg to file paperwork and perform routine maintenance on my ship for awhile.
