Oy, Lads, Jimmy 'ere.
I made some deliveries again, this time to Crete. Report is 'ere. Later today I decided I do some tradin' and well... didn't work out that well. I got picked by bloody Hessians, just before the gate to New Berlin. Two cruisers with rather generic callsigns and [RHA]Jonas.Lehrich. Those bloody mongrels took 12 milions from me. Sadly, no pictures from that, they were rather eager to shoot and I didn't have much time.
And believe it or not, on my way back, three Mollys were waitng near gate from O-3 to Cambridge. Luckilly I was empty this time. We... talked a little and fer a moment it looked like they'll stuff me cargo bay with some propaganda pamphlets, but some other fella took their attention. There was nothin' I could do fer him, so I jumped to Cambridge and went on me merry way.
Looks like routes between Bretonia and Rheinland are becoming... rather unsafe.
I have prepared my ship for the upcoming fight with the Hessians.
During this process, I have been contacted by the captain of a passenger liner stranded in Omega 7 after an Outcast attack.
The liner's engine was damaged beyond any capacity of providing mobility and the liner was effectively a sitting duck.
The captain asked me if I can deliver the necessary parts to get the engine running until it reaches Freeport 1.
During the delivery, a Hessian cruiser approached the liner and demanded no less than ten million credits!
This group has zero shame! And remember what my profession was before I joined up with you folks.
Luckily for the captain, the Hessian believed him when he told him that he already paid the "donation" earlier that day, so no confrontation was necessary.
But this isn't even the high point of the day.
What the ones in charge of the liners revealed is.
As the Order HC already confirmed, as we have seen ourselves in the Omicrons, and as it is proven here AGAIN, Division 9 really is infected.
And them being bold enough to commit such activities in House space can only suggest that they are for some reason sure that House police and military isn't going to find them out, or they just don't care, both are bad news.
Again, more evidence of the Nomads encroaching on the human colonies.
If the Order HC does not reply back soon with an answer, I suggest we leave it as it is and look towards other groups with experience in combating Nomads.
The Nomads won't sit tight and wait for the Order to make up their minds.
If we don't take measures now, we will find ourselves in the same situation we found ourselves in Omicron Iota.
There hasn't been many days since General Aetius asked me to break my vacations on the Luxury Liner Shetland and station my ship near the Solitaire Metropolis, due to the threat of the RHA. Since Mr. Mark Hamann asked [FL-ER] for help regarding this threat , it was important that i had accepted General Aetius request, for it was also in the interest of our trading section to continue to use the commodities being sold there. Although the transmission passed on regarding some bonus for defending it, gave more appeal to the idea of station myself in Stuttgart.
Today, I was relaxing like any other day when I received both an important alert, from [FL-ER]Awaken, and a distress signal from the Solitaire base:
Distress Signal Wrote:[21.08.2016 10:52:11] CONSOLE: Base Solitaire Metropolis is under attack by Eric.Andres!
SEI freelancers were already near the base and one sent me a message to rendevouz at the Freiburg Station:
Message Wrote:[21.08.2016 10:53:48] >SEI<[intel]R.Duckey: RV AT FREIBURG
Then I accompanied him to the battlefield were I was greeted by two gunboats and three fighters, the battle was long and harsh. In the end we prevailed but I'm only writing this to you thanks for being saved since my ship is now in oblivion. But thats not all, there is also good news since in the mist of battle I was able to score two kills.
This is a notice that [FL-ER] won't be easily taken out from the battle to come.

Oy, Lads, Jimmy 'ere.
I supplied Solitaire with something little above 10K of reinsforced alloys, however, I have only one cargo manifest, mainly cause my crew was rather... uneasy today. Though I never did it fo reward, so I don't really care.
After the siege started, I left Firefly and her crew docked in Koeln and jumped into ma Gallowglass. I kept ma distance for th' beginnin' of th' fight, and when they seemed to be clearly focused on fighting, I sneaked behind the battleships in my bomber, picked one that was already under heavy fire and started unloadin' novas on it. We managed to destroy it, but soon after someone spotted me and I got to leg it. Luckilly he didn't chase me too far. I docked far away from the battle, repaired, restocked and launched again. I was able to do same damage again, but this time, Soares had to help me, 'casue the same guy came after me again. With his help, I managed to jump to O-7, repair, restock and go in again. Sadly, this time I managed to unload no more than five novas, when several of their fighters and gunships decided I'm really annoin' and soon, I was in my escape pod, drifting away.

Oy, lads, Jimmy 'ere.
I needed somethin' to wind of from yesterday, so I decided I might as well scout some systems. I picked Texas for... well me reasons. Col. Redfire tagged along and we managed to explore most of it. I hafta say, 'ere is more Holes in Texas than in Emmental cheese. The only other things interestin' there were a station, probably abandoned and a Jump Gate to Minnesota (G4). We jumped through the gate and arrived... in an interestin' system.
No trade lanes there, but several stations and routes marked by buoys, and a Jump hole to New Hampshire guarded by Liberty Battleship. Oh and... a nomad. It was one of the small ones and It really did not shoot at us, just like my contact said. It... talked to us. I'd like to give you some logs 'bout it, but... well they speak it in yo head so.. yeah. We talked to it a little, but it was kinda... scared and after a while it cloaked.
After that encounter we scouted a few more systems and stumbled onto, rather interestin' one. Probably rheinlandian. No guncam picturs from there, sadly. I was... quite surprise by what we found, that I forgot to take 'em. Perhaps Colonel has some. Oh yeah, the name. Bremen system. Colonel suggested it might be the system where Rheinland experiments on nomads.
This is my report on the battle of Stuttgart that happened a few days ago, as you all already know, we have unfortunately lost Solitaire Metropolis to the Red Hessians. All I can say now is: At least we took a few of them with us.
The Red Hessians attacked Solitaire Metropolis with a giant fleet. They were so many that I couldn't properly count them, they had around a dozen Battleships and enough Gunboats and Fighters to make it impossible for us to stop their fleet.
What's most troubling is that we had little to no help from the Rheinland Military nor the Rheinland Police... still, we and many more freelancing pilots fought bravely for a just cause, and for that we should all feel proud.
Early in the fight i managed to take out a Red Hessian pilot that was distracted fighting one of our allies. He didn't notice me sneaking behind him in my Havoc and i successfully managed to land a SNAC hit on him. The target's callsign is [RHA]Jonas.Lehrich and here is the Killcam1
The second target i helped take down was a hessian battleship named [RHA]RNB-Kapelle, and i must congratulate Jimmy for his impecable work nuking this asshole in his asshole, He managed to sneak past the Hessian fleet onto their backs and kept launching torpedos before they could spot him, doing a significantly large ammount of damage.
To all who weren't there... You missed the most amazing firework display. *Soares starts laughing with a hint hatefull-rage*
Here is the Killcam2
After the destruction of the Hessian battleship, their fighters noticed there was someone on their backs - Jimmy - and they went for him. Jimmy didn't have a cloaking device on his ship, so he wouldn't be able to escape the fighters. One Hessian managed to catch Jimmy and started shooting him, when i noticed what was happening i told Jimmy to retreat to Omega-7 while I distracted the attacker. Jimmy managed to safely escape and after a few minutes I cloaked my ship and escaped aswell.
Meanwhile, we started losing a large number of our forces in the battle... The hessians overwhelmed our allies and those who didn't go up in flames, were forced to retread.
After I repaired my ship in Omega-7 I came back to the battlefield, only to be engaged by a Hessian bomber named Hessian.Discipline, luckily for me, the other Hessian fighters were distracted by the Leader of the Rheinland Military, [RM]Adm.Driedrik.Sterr, and the hessian bomber fought me alone. I managed to take him out. Here is the Killcam3
I was alone now... There was nothing i could do but watch as the base we've worked so hard to help build... was destroyed...
Solitaire Metropolis' Final Moments
*Soares looks directly into the camara with a dead-eye stare and says:* We will have our revenge on the Red Hessians soon enough...
*You can see a sexy but scary looking woman standing on top of metallic rubble as if she was inside a ship she had just obliterated with her own bare hands*

Hello to all of you bunch of manky plug-ugly gormless knob-head wankers. I finally tracked down my husband and caught him by surprise in the barrier gate docks.
*Pauses* ... His ship is gone now. *picks up a piece of metal from the ground* This is it! *laughs maniacally*
...
He's not dead. I decided to show him mercy today... but he's out for now. I'm contacting you airy-fairy gannet maggots because my husband implied I was incapable of looking out for anyone else but myself *starts shouting* SO I'M GOING TO PROVE HIM DEAD WRONG!
I hear you naff plonkers get a lot of jobs protecting people right?!... Then consider this my application to join your sorry excuse for a military group
*starts laughing condescendingly
Oh... and you better not decline my recruitment application or Soares' gets it!

Ouch. Well, can't really help ya with that. Anyways, here's another of me reports.
I was doin' a little tradin' between Bretonia and Rheinland, when colonel sent me a message. That 'lil nomad 's back! I parked Firefly at FP-1 got into Sidhe and soon I was in Minessota. And here he was! He, was scared, but he didn't run this time. Remember how I said I won't go to 'crons any time soon? Yeah, well, colonel somehow managed to get me there fer the second time. We showed the 'lil one route home and in the meanwhile we tried to get some info from him, but it was... weird. I wrote down most of what he 'said', but... there wasn't really that much useful stuff. The only interestin' think were a few... images... of some system. 't was not a system I ever heard of and I'm stilly tryin to... write down what was there.
During our... 'trip', colonel got a message from some. At first he thought it's some Order guy, but it turned he's just some freelancer. He was kind 'nough to show us his iridium minin' spot in Omicron Lost, system I never saw before. After that, we head to Rheinland, where we ended our 'lil... trip.
