Subject: Shift report
Personal notice: At my first report about first shift, it seemed I had a hard day. After today I wish more this ordinary "heavy" days, because I almost died.
Reports:
R1: Short description: assistance at smuggler search Details: When I took off the Planet New Berlin in my new Roc bomber, I was asked by Officer Thomas Wolthers to help him and two Military vessels in searching of the smuggler at Hamburg system. Unfortunately he flew to the free space so we very soon ended this action.
R2: Short description: assistance to RFP officer and Rheinwehr, smuggler/Liberty border violator ships destroy Details: Then I was involved to two situations which ended in destroyed ships. Off. Wolthers stopped at planet Hamburg ship and I joined the situation and two Rheinwehr ships too. It´s captain told us straight that he is going to New York and then tryed to escape, so we opened fire and destroyed him. The second case at same place was IMG ship, it´s captain was repeatedly answering question where is he going to as "I don´t know yet". This suspicious behaviour was not tolerated by Rheinwehr officer Paul Bommel and he fired warning shots. After that, IMG vessel opened fire at us and tryed to escape, so we were forced to destroy it.
R3: Short description: artifacts smuggler search Details: After that, I flew back to New Berlin system and started to monitor traffic at Hamburg jump gate. Suddenly ship with ID MaxScorpion appears from trade lane. I scanned their cargo and it was full of artifacts! When he saw me, he quickly flew do jump gate, despite I ordered him to stop the engines. I quickly informed Off. Wolthers because he was in Hamburg system, and flew to jump gate. After I appeared in Hamburg system, radar showed me that MaxScorpion is 11K far and after few seconds, he disseaperd in space. It was obvious that he is counting with police officer on the trade lane so he wanted to avoid them. I informed off. Wolthers about this and we take advantage of two officers - off. Wolthers went to watch Hudson jump gate and I quickly flew to Bering jump gate. But smuggler was obviously very clever and stayed in free space, so after some time we end this action. Unfortunately I have not any evidence because is I said, he jumped through gate and dissapeared very quickly.
R4: Short description: technical assistance with IFF problem Evidence:#1#2 Details: When I was near Bering jump gate, I noticed ship with ID Torp and Liberty Navy IFF tag that jumped in Hamburg and continued to trade lane. I started to pursue him and catched him near Bonn station. I warned him that although he has Freelancer ID, he have to change his IFF. He declared that he has technical problems with IFF responder. After my emphasize that he has to solve this problem immediately, he docked at Bonn Station. When I met him some time later, his IFF was neutral and not Liberty Navy.
R5: Short description: RFP officers under attack with deadly force of vessel with unknown improved technology (maybe nomad or wild) Evidence:#1#2 Details: During the communication with Torp, I noticed near of us ship with strange behaviour which seemed a little like provoking of the Battleship Strausberg crew. After short time, Battleship shot at him warning shots. Because I was still in communication with Torp, I only scanned him but he used traded lane before I can do any action against him. Identification of the ship was MM~Shushy', ID was Mercenary, IFF Freelancer. After short time, off. Wolthers called for assitance at criminal activity near Dortmund Station. I used trade lane and in middle of the way I found off. Wolthers, ship identified as Randy.Liveron (I think it has Zoner IFF but I´m not sure), that MM~Shushy' and three Hessians ship.
Because I though that the other ships are under attack of Hessians, I immediately started to hunt them and I killed them. After that, I surprisingly noticed that MM~Shushy' is attacking off. Wolthers! I joined the fight but very soon I became prey same as off. Wolthers. I didn´t seen ship flying like this in my life. It was practicaly impossible to hit it or at least to take it in aim cross. It´s flight seemed more like jumping from place to place. After a few minutes of fight, MM~Shushy' heavy damaged and nearly destroyed off. Wolthers ship so the emergency system evacuate him to space and attacker concentrated fire only on me.
Fortunately another RFP officer appeared (I didn´t know his name because my radar was damaged and didn´t work properly) and battle continued a few minutes two on one but with not very different progress. And suddenly, I noticed that another RFP ship dissapeared! My opinion is that MM~Shushy' fired a kind of weapon that made a mini black hole which draw him it and sent the ship to unknown place (I heard about that technology from pilots in bars across Sirius during my trader career) but I don´t know what really happened.
This really scared me but I tryed to continue the fight and get this ship. After a few minutes of hopeless effort to hit him, four Red Hessians ships appeared. I thought that this is my end but (I didn´t believe that I will say this) they in fact saved my life. Because MM~Shushy' fired at them a few shots, they quickly recognized who is their main enemy here and started to fire at him while he continued hunt on me. I estimate that battle continued for twenty minutes like this. At this time I had to use all my shield batteries and then, when I was without shield, most of my nanobots to prevent the destroy of my ship. Some ship systems failed, the most important of them was pilot emergency module system eject (!).
Situation seemed hopeless but then in one moment Hessians capture attention of MM~Shushy' for a few seconds. I turned on my cruise engines, made some spins with dropping of flares to prevent hit of cruise disruptor missiles and finally escaped to Ruhr Asteroid field, where MM~Shushy' gave up his effort to catch me. Then I carefully flew my heavily damaged ship with many systems malfunctions through the Ruhrfeld to Dortmund station. Here I docked, reported RFP officer´s emergency module in space (Wolthers), sent quickly message about MM~Shushy' ship to RFP and Rheinwehr EWS (Early Warning System) and finally went exhausted to bar for some drinks to celebrate that I am alive. Then after some rest and sleep I carefully transported my damaged Roc to Elbe station, gave him to our mechanics and technicians to repair and finally finished my shift.
Technical note: I have only a few images of evidence from my shift, because the guncams record memory was heavily damaged during the fight with MM~Shushy' and technicians saved only this pictures.
