This is my first report since my promotion to Gefreiter and as I am sure you will agree, the strangest.
After starting my patrol and launching from Battleship Altenburg I discovered an LSF tagged ship called "Zubr_Q". I attempted to question zhe pilot but he did not respond and finally fled towards Vogtland Base.
I am disappointed to report that I lost him in zhe cloud.
I continued with my patrol and set course for New Berlin, upon arrival to zhe planet I detected a hostile trader with a Liberty Navy IFF. I ordered him to cut his engines and demanded that he explain himself. He claimed to be, "searching for something to take back to Planet Manhattan." I then explained that Rheinland had a trade embargo with Liberty, in place and ordered him to leave Rheinland and not come back without a better reputation. He complied without any trouble.
I then proceeded to zhe Hamburg system where I was greeted by a rather large gathering of Military capital ships. I greeted their captains and then asked what was going on. They informed me that a copper ore smuggler had just docked at Lubeck Border Station and that they were waiting to arrest him. I took control of zhe situation after receiving the suspects name and comms link. I contacted zhe suspect and informed him that he was in breach of RHeinland law and was to vacate zhe station. For a while there was no reply but finally zhis mad man claimed that infact I was zhe one breaking the law, before I had a chance to talk again zhe comms link was terminated and zhe suspect disappeared. I will keep an eye out for his ship called, "Zubr_M." If I find him I shall fine him 500,000 credits for not following my instructions and a futher 500,00 for smuggling copper ore to zhe Libertorians.
Zhis is where my patrol starts to get rather strange. I remained in Hamburg in order to do a full sweep of zhe system when I received reports of SCRA vessels within zhe system. I sent a system wide broadcast explaining that these ships were not welcome within zhe Vaderland. The SCRA commander then responded with his location, I proceeded to his coordinates with great caution. It turns out he told zhe truth and was where he said he was. I inquired as to why he was in Rheinland and he explained that one of his pilots was missing and that he was searching for her. I insisted that he leave Rheinland but just then zhe rogue SCRA pilot come onto zhe scanners and zhe commander followed her. We lost him because he disrupted zhe tradelane and headed for New Berlin. Upon our arrival I sent a system wide broadcast saying that all SCRA ships were to be shot on sight. We later picked up their siganl in zhe Stuttgart system where I sent another broadcast message. Fortunately no one was harmed has they escaped to zhe Omegas.
Our patrol then headed back towards New Berlin as we wanted to have a look at zhe Dresden system. We meet up at zhe jump hole to Dresden and once we arrived in zhe system nothing was on scanners. But then just as I stated that zhe place looked empty a hostile contact showed up. Turns out it was a Major of zhe Red Hessians. It was at this point something went wrong with my ship as it somehow shut down. I was helpless but fortunately I was not alone. Zhe captains of zhe RNC-Oldenburg and RNC-Juelch engaged zhe Hessian and successfully destroyed his ship. They then headed towards Battleship Altenburg to find help for me. About two minutes later my ship rebooted and everything was fine. At zhe same time another Red Hessian launched and we engaged each other. I am proud to say that I was able to land a kill.
