Today we (Sam Daniels and I), were on patrol along the trade lane Mainz Storage- Mannheim station, together with a Unioner ship called "Art", when we recieved an distress call from Mike Stahn. He was apparently intercepted by Rheinland Military/police forces, requesting assistance. While the Unioner refused to help, Daniels and I powered our engines and answered Stahn's call. We arrived only to discover the fight had already begun: Three or four enemy fighters surrounding Stahn's ship.
We did what we could, but obviously it was not enough: Sam Daniels was shot and taken into custody, while Stahn and I continued fighting. He did not make it, either.
Afterwards I was forced to retreat, and returned to the Wedel Mining Facility in Hamburg.
I do feel obliged to apologize to the High Command, since we were not able to rescue our endangered comrade, with my decision to help I even let two good men fall into enemy hands, and will accept any and all consequences of my failure.
