Physical Description: Height: 188cm, Weight: 85kg , well built, muscular man. Blond hair and blue eyes. Looks serious and dedicated.
Biography: Born on planet Stuttgart on seventh of June 796AS. His father was a director of public relations in Daumann Heavy Constructions. His mother was a corporate lawyer also working for the Daumann. That’s how they two met. Born and raised by a corporate couple, Gunther showed no interests in that kind of a profession. Since early teenage years, Gunther gained interests in all kinds of weaponry, wars and ships. His childhood was pretty usual and normal. After gaining more and more interests, Gunther was eager to become a pilot in the Military.
Day after his graduation he applied for Military academy. He has spent over three hundred hours in the flight simulator. Soon enough after the graduation he got a chance to prove himself, the Rheinland Military was enlisting new members. Gunther signed up for a pilot.
He was assigned to a wing who was responsible for patrols in Bering system, surrounding the Texas jump gate. From the start of his career he was already in the heatzone due to Rheinland-Liberty war. Gunther didn’t show any fear of war or Libertonians which he could encounter in the Bering system. Already after two weeks in space, their patrol was warned of a hostile patrol in their sector. His wing didn’t hesitate and they started to search for hostiles immediately. Not long after the warning they found the patrol. It was consisted of six Navy fighter, while Gunthers wing was consisted of four fighters due to more need for men on the battlefield. Gunther and his wing had a good chance since the Wraith was very agile and reliable then the Navy’s Guardian. In that first fight Gunther scored two confirmed kills.
After that fight he was noticed by the Rheinwehr command and soon enough he was deployed to the Texas system. On the Texas battlefield Gunther scored twenty confirmed kills and many assistances.
After few months, Gunther signed for a transfer. Since both sides had an increased number of capital ships where Gunther’s Wraith couldn’t help much. He sent an application for his promotion and a request for new vessel, Rheinland Gunboat.

Guten Abend. Mein name ist Gunther Beckenbauer. Ich bin Kaptain of ze Schatten currently flying under ze Rheinwehr flag. Today is ze fourth of June 721AS. It is currently... *He raises his left hand, glancing towards his wristwatch which he inherited from his father, checking the time* 2200 hours. Ich, mein crew und mein vessel are currently docked on ze Freeport 1. *He raises his hand, wiping the sweat of his forehead*
We had to dock here due to recent *takes a deep breath* ... interraction with ze Wilde beings...
We just left ze docks of ze Alster Shipyard, and ich set a course to Neu Berlin. Shortly after setting ze course, mein radar offizer detected unknown signals in ze Omegas. Ich decided to investigate it. As we arrived to ze Omega-Drei, ze unknown signals moved to another sistem, Cambridge. Ich decided to jump for ze Cambridge but not to go further, ich wanted to scan ze area with mein scanners.
It was not needed, zwei unknown signals were just near ze gate. Ein friendly vessel was present too, his callsign was something which ends with Klein. Ze zwei unknown vessels were ze Wilde. It was mein first encounter with them, before that ich only heard and read about them. Ich know that ze aliens have their different language, but these zwei very talking perfectly normal.
From pure curiosity Ich started communicating with them to find out why are they all ze way in Bretonia. They didn't tell any info, but it was weird when the friendly piloten started talking. In ze beginning it was alm nonsense but after a while... *He slowly increases the tone of his voice* ich started understanding what he says! Then... *He raises his hands once more wiping off sweat from his whole face* they hit ze topic! The most important question, which answer ich must find out... *He then makes even more terrifying facial expression* Was happens after ze death?!?! *He quickly stands up, starting to walk nervously from one side of the room to another and talking* Why did they start talking about that? Ich swear they were inside mein head! It's like they knew what ich want to know! *His hands start shaking* Ich must know ze answer! They seem to know what happens... Ich want to know what happens after ze death!
He says he will find me when he's done with something.. Ich must wait here to find out!
*After the paranoid talk he quickly looks towards the door of his room and closes the video feed*

It's the1st of June, 822 A.S. A regular day for the Kapitan Gunther Beckenbauer from Rheinland Military Secondary Fleet. He is currently stationed at Battleship Altenburg in Dresden system. Gunther is walking down the corridor that leads to the hangar bay. Before making a turn for the door, he stands in front of a screen with a table, showing patrol routes and the ship names next to it. As Gunther glares at it, he finds his ship on the table and the patrol route he's assigned to. "Hm, so from Altenburg to 6E, sounds like a usual one, oh well, let's go then." He enters the hangar bay, walking towards his "Oder"-class gunboat placed on landing pad 12. As he walks towards it, he sees couple members of his crew, looking at some new armor plans and discussing it. Gunther starts shouting at them "Alright, crew. We got assigned to a patrol route, pack your stuff and let's roll out, schnell!" The crew members twitched a bit as Gunther started to shout, turning towards him, saluting the Kapitan and running towards the Schatten.
As Gunther entered the bridge, crew was already standing beside their seats and saluting him. Gunther saluted back and sat on his chair, turning it towards the window while starting to talk. "Hans, get us out and head to the sector we're assigned to, full cruise speed." Hans saluted him back and turned around towards his computer.
Almost a year passed since Gunther's last encounter with an agent named Karl Klein, slowly he started to forget about him, not because he wanted to, because he was too occupied with his regular duties. As they approach the sector they were assigned to patrol in, comms start to resound from a female voice.
Wilde.Wespe: Keller: Oh god!
Wilde.Wespe: Keller: Nomads!
Wilde.Wespe: Keller: Help me!
Wilde.Wespe: Keller: Somebody help me!! RNC-Schatten: This is Kapitan Beckenbauer of RNC-Schatten, what is your location?!
RNC-Schatten: Beckenbauer: All hands to battlestations, Code Rot! Embrace yourselves! Wilde.Wespe: Keller: My position is E/F 5/6 RNC-Schatten: Beckenbauer: Verstanden! We're not that far! Wilde.Wespe: Keller: I need reinforcement!
Wilde.Wespe: Keller: Quick! *Static* RNC-Schatten: Beckenbauer: We got you on the scanners!
RNC-Schatten: Beckenbauer: Oh mein Gott! Wilde.Wespe: Keller: *Screams* Get it off me! RNC-Schatten: Beckenbauer: Hans! Full impulse, aim that 'vessel'
RNC-Schatten: Beckenbauer: Fire at will!
RNC-Schatten: Beckenbauer: Frau! Keep close to me! K'Hara|An'shur: ***. (enjoyment) .*** Wilde.Wespe: Keller: Oh noooo!
Wilde.Wespe: Keller: I can't shake it up! RNC-Schatten: Beckenbauer: Just evade Frau! I'll handle it!
RNC-Schatten: Beckenbauer: What is this... -thing- *He looks at the scanners terrified* Wilde.RNC-Panther: This is Meyer on board the RNC Panther, it appears that you... have a situation there? Wilde.Wespe: Keller: Get it off me... Get it off me!!! RNC-Schatten: Beckenbauer: Ja! Ein agent is under attack by a strange -vessel-! Wilde.RNC-Panther: Gunners, prepare the weaponry, this is going to be an easy prey.
Wilde.RNC-Panther: All power on the main weapons! RNC-Schatten: Beckenbauer: Scheise! Mein engine is losing it's power! Wilde.RNC-Panther: Open fire on the... target RNC-Schatten: Beckenbauer: Hans - What the... K'Hara|An'shur: ***.. "Ours" shall .. begin (!) ..*** RNC-Schatten: Beckenbauer: What is this?! Wilde.RNC-Panther: Aim for the engine section. We need this ship. RNC-Schatten: Beckenbauer: Defend! Fire at will
RNC-Schatten: *Engines are turning themselves off*
RNC-Schatten: Beckenbauer: Hans! *static* What is going on with the engines! Fire them up, at once! Wilde.RNC-Panther: **-We- shall take what is -ours-** Wilde.Wespe: Keller: Captain! Are you alright? RNC-Schatten: *Shield energy is draining fast and turning off* RNC-Schatten: Beckenbauer: Argh! *static* *You could also hear electronics exploding in the back*
RNC-Schatten: Beckenbauer: Frau, mein vessel is too damaged! Get out of here, now! Wilde.RNC-Panther: She will not. Wilde.Wespe: Keller: Let me aboard. I think i can help you. RNC-Schatten: Beckenbauer: *His tone drops in volume all of a sudden* What... is happening, here... *He looks out of the bridge window* K'Hara|An'shur: *The light of the Nomad entity starts to periodically pulsate, as if it prepared for something)*
After all the ruckus, Schatten was severely damaged. It's engine was dead and life support was failing. Agent Keller boarded the Schatten in order to help.
RNC-Schatten: Buckenbauer: Be quick! The shields are down, you would be able to board!
RNC-Schatten: Beckenbauer: What is going on here... Wilde.Wespe: Keller: I don't know... looks like these creatures stopped to fire for some reason.
Wilde.Wespe: Keller: I will dock now RNC-Schatten: Beckenbauer: Go, for. Wilde.RNC-Panther: **-Our- purpose has been fulfilled. Others need -our- attention** K'Hara|An'shur: *The alien energy signature starts to slowly weaken, the Nomad itself is behaving oddly calmly* RNC-Schatten: *He keeps staring through the window, looking towards the strange purple vessel* Beckenbauer: What... in the world is -that- ! RNC-Schatten: *Critical Hit: Engines Offline ; Life Support: 10%* K'Hara|An'shur: *The Nomad entity comes over left of the damaged vessel and starts to throw some glowing capsules on it's surface* RNC-Schatten: Beckenbauer: That -vessel- is outside, few meters away from us! Get ready, it might board us!
RNC-Schatten: Beckenbauer: What is going on! *Crew is not responding, they're severely injured and possibly without conciousness* K'Hara|An'shur: *Two hits are noticeable all over the vessel* Wilde.Wespe: *Keller enters the docking bay* K'Hara|An'shur: *The capsules exploded immediately after the impacts, odd blue slime is starting to spill off the capsules* RNC-Schatten: *Gunther grabs his sidearm, heading towards the docking bay. The ship is in horrible condition, severly damaged* K'Hara|An'shur: *No amount of it is getting inside the vessel, but it seems that the slime is solidifying*
*Gunther runs through the hallways, towards the docking bay* *Keller grabs her plasma gun and slowly walks in direction to the bridge* *Gunther and Keller would meet each other in middle of a hallway, that is severely damaged and there is barely any light* Gunter: Frau Keller, are you there?! *He looks around in the darkness, searching for her* *Keller responses* Ja, I'm here to help you! *Gunshots can be heard* *The slime is now solid matter, but some fiber or spider net like structures are starting to grow out of it quickly* Gunther: Gut, where are you? I can barely see - wha-? *Keller fires at the crew* *The fibers seems to be growing in direction to weaponry, power reactor and the disabled engine* Keller: Oh god! Too many nomads here! *All of sudden, the power reactor enters emergency shutdown* Keller: Captain! Retreat! We will meet us on the bridge. Gunther: Here?! How the - *He starts walking towards the source of Keller's voice* *Gunther suddenly stops as he hears Keller shouting* Gunther: Ja! I'm heading back! *The alien net is stretchering on the side where the Nomad capsules exploded* *After 30 seconds of running, Gunther reaches the bridge, entering it slowly* *Keller follows* *Some of the fibers are now visible on the outer side of some windows, including the bridge* *The bridge is also damaged, but there is some light present. Half of the crew on the bridge is dead, rest is unconscious*
*Gunther looks towards the bridge window, noticing a pink matter like net across it* *Their grow rate is visible even from distance, the fibers are forming the net, but not enclosing the windows completely* *Keller enters the bridge and locks the door* Gunther: What in the world is that... *He looks with a horrifying face expression* *Gunter turns around as he hears the door locking, noticing Keller in front of him* Gunther: Why did you lock the door? *The still not malfunctioning life support control computer notices an odd gaseous substance in the air and initiates a bio-hazard alert. *Regular lights turn off on the bridge, as orange ones light up indicating a bio-hazard alert*
*Meanwhile, the fibers have grew over the engine* Gunther: Something that triggered the bio-hazard sensors has breached the ship... *After Keller turns towards Gunther's direction, Gunther feels very strange. He feels like he is attracted to Keller* *Growth of the net slows down and stops, the structure is no longer enclosing the ship from outside* Gunther: Frau Keller... *He slowly starts leaning towards her and extending his hand towards her in order to make contact* *But the roots are slowly getting inside* *Bio-hazard alarm has started to sound as the roots started to breach* Keller: Now captain, this seems to be a very serious situation. *Gunther is so seduced with Keller that he doesn't even notice the alarm going* *The Nomad roots are slim and glowing in deep violet light, which looks as interesting as scary* Keller: How about you sit down? Gunther: What... is.. going on? *He stares confused at Keller* Gunther: Okay... *He reaches for his Kapitan's seat, sitting on it and continuing to stare at Keller* *Few of the roots are even on the bridge, but the net structure stops growing completely* *Keller walks around Gunther's chair and seems to observe him* *The roots are secreting the gas which alerted the computer* Keller: How do you feel at the moment, captain? *Gunter turns his head as Keller walks around him, staring at her* I... feel... relaxed... *One unconscious, but not dead officer on the bridge is covered in very slim fibers, in same like the vessel is covered* *Keller puts her gun into her holster* Gunther: Is... this.. how I am supposed to feel? *He looks utterly confused* *You can notice that some of the fibers are getting under his skin, literally* Keller: *She giggles* Aren't you scared? *Suddenly the whole ship shakes, like if the engine were starting, but it stops in seconds* *Gunther keeps staring* I'm... supposed to be... but I don't feel a thing right now.
Gunther: You look so calm... *Gunther would start to feel sick, possibly because of the gas emitted by the Nomad materials* *Gunther is starting, slowly, to lose his consciousness* Gunther: My... head... *Suddenly, one of the weapons of the vessel fires forward, the escaping bolt of plasma illuminates the bridge with green light* *He raises his left hand, placing it on his forehead* *The power reactor went back online, but the main computer seems to be malfunctioning and not controlling it* Keller: Nun, captain... do you know with whom you are dealing with? *The lamps, artificial light and electricity is back online too*
*The vessel starts to move*
*The engine went full functional, which is unexpected. The Nomad fibers are slowly assuming control*
*Movement of the ship has suddenly stopped* *Keller touches Gunthers face while she walks around him* *Gunther is completely charmed by Keller, the gases are making him sick, but he isn't aware of that* *The artificial lights are offline again, only source of light on board are the alien roots on the walls, floor and ceilings* Keller: What if i tell you that you have been chosen for a higher task? Higher than your current one? *She whispers in Gunther's ears* Keller: Would you refuse? *Gunther endures through a lot of pain all of a sudden, remembering his past and man named Karl Klein he was so desperately looking for* *The life support systems are now online, but the gas is in high concentration inside the ship* Gunther: I... would definitely accept it.. *Gunther feels like during mediate hangover, but Keller is still fully conscious* Gunther: Another man, already promised me that... but he suddenly vanished off the grid... Keller: But you don't even know what you will accept. Would you like to find it out? *She grins* *Suddenly, the officer lying on the ground, as if he slept, overgrown by the fibers, spits out some glowing blue fluid* Gunther: I... don't care... I would fully commit myself to a higher goal. Keller: *She giggles* *He is still unconscious, life support is no longer able to show higher concentration of the gas*
*Unpredicted, the Nomad roots are quickly growing over the computer systems, the bio-hazard alert goes quiet finally* *Gunther is so focused right now, on Keller's voice that he isn't noticing a thing that's going around him* *As the roots stops growing, as unpredictably as it started, the lying officer wakes up* *Keller sits down on the Gunthers lap* *The officer seems to be doing something with the computer, but it doesn't seem to be Gunther's concern* Keller: Do you like that, darling? *Gunther is completely stunned by Keller that he didn't even twitch when Keller sat on his lap* *The Nomad gas takes over, it has effects similar to some drugs, Gunther is relaxed and his headache passes over* Gunther: I, -do-. *The engine starts operating again, the ship seems to be directed to the Omega 11 jump hole*
*Keller presses you back in your chair* Keller: Don't resist... let it happen. *Gunther has completely let himself to Keller* *Her eyes start to glow purple* Gunther: I won't. *You look deep in her eyes and start to dream*
*A vision shows up* *Another "sleeping" members of the crew are waking up, several cameras on the bridge are showing them up*
*Behaving strangely, working as if organized by some sort of hive mind, but they are not fully under alien control* *Gunther has froze in place while enduring a vision* *The ship is heading somewhere to sector 4/5 B of the system*
*All expansive tendencies of the alien tissue has stopped. The materials are no longer spreading, since there is no need to spread, because the Rheinland vessel is now fully controlled by the Nomads* *(You find yourself aboard of an Oder class vessel and walk through a long corridor)* *(Gunther is walking straight down the corridor, looking around, but not stopping)* *(You see a sign on the wall... it says: "U-177".)* *The real vessel approaches a jump hole, not slowing down*
*(It is dark inside of the vessel and you can barely see the end of the corridor)* *The Rheinland ships stops nearby, the engine systems are deactivating* *(You don't stop and continue your way through the corridor, but it seems the way doesn't end.)* *(After some time, the wall begin to seclude a weird substance. It looks slimy and purple)*
*(You feel scared a bit and start to walk faster)*
*(The corridor begins to deform and becomes smaller.)*
*(It becomes smaller and smaller until finally... the vision stops sudden and unexpected)*
*You wake up again and find yourself on the bridge again* *Gunther breaths heavily and fast, looking at Keller* *You see Keller in front of you. She stares out of the window* Keller: How do you feel now, captain? *Gunthers notices Keller staring out of the window, so he takes a look too* Gunther: I... feel... like I'm finally home...
Gunther: Am... I, home? *She looks in Gunthers face* ***...'Yours' will -serve- 'ours' comunity shortly (amusement)...***
