Was it too much trouble to inform me that we had lost Westfalen a few days back? I was walking around the Westfalen 1 morning, on my way to the docks. As I walk casually to the Bunny's dock, I see all these guys in weird green uniforms running around. The idiots were shouting at me and pointing from across the docks. They were yakking on in some weird language, sounded German.
German spoken on Westfalen, can you dig it?
So I carry on to the catwalk connecting to the bridge airlock and I see dead Liberty Marines lying on the deck. I thought he ate something bad or something. I learned later he was shot by Rheinlanders. Who would have guessed?
Anyway, I board the Bunny and I see my crew running around screaming like headless chickens. So I go to the bridge, and ask my helm what`s going on. He screams something about Rheinlanders being all over us, so I order an imidiate launch to defend the Westfalen from Rheinland attack. Imagine my suprise when the Westfalen started shooting at us as soon as we undocked. I thought someone was trying to be funny. But when a horde of Fafnirs came at us going 'du verdammte Libertonian sweinhunden! wir sollen sie abknallen wie penisse auf stelzen!' Stirb wie schorf-ähnliche hunden!' I knew something was wrong.
So the Bunny got hammered point blank by the Westfalen and a truckload of bombers because someone forgot to send me a memo along the lines of 'Hey Redline, stupid, we just lost the Westfalen. run for dear life'. Anyway, the Bunny was lost, yeah. Big deal.
Me and the boys got picked up by a passing Gateway tradeship. The Rheinies probably didnt feel like getting into another tiff with the Brets so they let it go. Hence I arrived at Houston. Got me a new dread commisioned and an assault cruiser to boot. New model, even. Eager to see what she can do.
