KorvettenKapitan Mathew reporting on my patrol. Started my patrol from New Berlin, and joined up with KG Vallentorn Träger Boltenhagen and fellow pilot Wagner on a patrol. Most of the patrol was filled with scanning ships and assisting pilots that have travel to Rheinland for the first time. The patrol was mostly quiet, just responding and reacting to different ships entering Rheinland. After some time our small force, comprised of one Träger, a battlecrusier and two fighters and a bomber arrived to New Berlin herself in force. Not too long after a hessian bomber arrived, and judging by its reaction, ran from the sight of our ad-hoc task force. The forces commander ordered the screen to engage the lone ship, and after a brief skirmish, was brought down by Soldat Wagner. We rejoined the formation and headed to Frankfurt. But knowing that New Berlin was the hub of Rheinland space I chose to return back to my post on New Berlin.
Some time later, and after some more cargo ship scans, the ad-hoc group returned to just two fighters and the Träger Boltenhagen. We continued on with our duties, flying and scanning ships. I had remained in the area near Bonn station and Wildau station looking for a specific ship. Unfortunately I lost track of the ship, and joined the lane to Dortmund station. And as I noticed a strange looking ship from the hamburg gate lane crossed my area. I comm messaged the group and I followed the ship. I began to try to talk to the ship but I'm not exactly sure if it was a neutral ship or not. After some time trying to reason with him, I finally answered the calls from the force commander and the two remaining ships joined me. The ai ship didn't want to reason, and didn't want to parlay with us. And from its hostile actions, we finally engaged it. The fight was intense. Soldat Wagner engaged first and scored many hits to the shields. The commander gave me permission to let loose my missile compliment and the first group slammed and knocked its shields down. The ai began to retreat in a effort to regain its shields. We caught up and began to pummel it again. This time another barrage from my missiles knocked the shields down and a well timed mine from Wagner heavily damaged the ship. The ship spilling smoke and flames, began to lose control. Seizing the opportunity I opened up with my arsenal and destroyed the ai ship. Only the wreckage of the ship remains. And knowing it was a robotic vessel, we saw no ejection pod. Celebrating our numerous victories, I retired to New Berlin to write my report, and maybe some Rheinbeer at a local bar. That is all.
Hochachtungsvoll
