Subject: Shift report
Personal notice: This could be my first ordinary shift, but because of my error ends nearly with disaster.
Important events:
E1: Short description: assistance to Rheinwehr, Hessians ships destroy, criminals deliver to Vierlande prison Details: When I took with my Mjolnir off the Planet New Berlin, I had some criminals on board, because I get order to take them to Vierlande prison. But I was quickly asked by Rheinwehr officer with call sign Seydlitz to help him at expected arrival of hostile ship in Stuttgart. Fortunately the ship didn´t appeared so I continued to Vierlande. Near Bonn I was ambushed by trade lane disruption by four Red Hessians ship and attacked, but I got them very quickly and enlarged my load of criminals which I delivered to Vierlande (Evidence #1).
E2: Short description: Unioner´s ship heavy attack on traders, civilian ship destroy, fight and pursue hostile ship Details: After that I was planning to watch at Liberty border but I unexpectedly heard at system channel messages from ship named Arbeitstier which souds like a public swearing and also provoking and word assaulting of law enforcement authorities (Evid. #2, #3). I noticed off. Seydlitz who advise me to wait until he arrives with his more powerful ship, but I felt that in this situacion no time can be wasted. When I arrived, I saw that heavy fighter Arbeitstier (Unioner ID and IFF - Evid. #4, #5) is attacking two civilian ships (Felix_Lynx and Aks - Evid. #6) so I started to defend them with my attack of him. Despite my effort to attract his fire at me he continued in shots mainly on Aks ship (Evid. #7, #8). A little later Seydlitz arrived. Despite our dense fire Arbeitstier lately destroyed Aks ship (Evid. #9) and then started to escape. We pursued him to a base named Wedel Mining Facility (to this day I didn´t know about existence of that base here) where he docked. Because station guns started to shooting on us, we were forced to go out of their range. After we returned, other assaulted ship witch stands without damages thanks us (Evid. #10)
E3: Short description: pursue of ship that violates RFP officer orders Details: We returned with off. Seydlitz to watch at planet Hamburg. Soon I spotted two ships in trade lane from Liberty border, callsigns ^*Garbuz*^ and Help_for_Garbuz. When they saw us in front, they exited the tradeline and started to fly to open space. I ordered Garbuz to stop to ordinary control and then repeatedly to stop his ship (Evid. #11, #12), but he didn´t follow my orders. I have pursued them a few minutes and then understand their plan to fly around the sun and the continue on trade lane. Both ships were damaged because flew into sun corona (Evid. #13) and I had to be careful too, but they finnaly made it. I tryed to informed other units but electromagnetic interference from sun corona made my effort impossible. When we were near tradelane, I sent signal to block trade lane and jump gates, but they somehow hacked them and used them. I continued pursue to The Ring station, where they again hacked systems and docked. I wait there few minutes on guard. Garbuz was so impudent that he took off again! But when he saw me, he quickly docked again (I think that stations will have to improve their security, there is too much hacking the docking bays as I saw in other reports). Finally I have to say that I don´t understand why he violated my orders and escaped, because at my scans that I made before he first landed at The Ring is nothing that can be considered as law violant (Evid. #14, #15)
E4: Short description: communication and IFF systems failure resulted in friendly fire with Rheinwehr ships Details: Next tens of minutes was very quiet, there were a minimum ships in the system and it seemed that criminals and terrorist have taken a holiday. Later I was on watch at Stuttgart system when I saw something strange on my radar. I saw two unidentified ships at distance of 7K that suddenly appeared. They then sent me salutation ("Guten Tag Officer", "Hello, herr"). I was confused so I ask them who they are. My systems suddenly showed them as a Liberty Navy ships! But they sent me also confused answer ("You ask who we are?") and my systems without a warning identified them now as Rheinwehr ships. I checked them visually and it was our ships so I sent them salutation too and informed them about a system failure which caused that I didn´t identify them for at first.
Some time later some systems of my ship started to report errors. It seemed that my long flight very close to sun and it´s corona during the pursue of Garbuz damaged some of my electronics. I restarted them but to be sure I decided to land at Elbe station to let them check by our technicians and also to go off duty, so I went through jump gate to New Berlin system. And here I saw something strange. There were three ships that my systems identified as Hreidmar, RNC Panther (which I met before in Stuttgart) and Dingo_Lima. RNC.Panther asked me for help so I flew closer. And then everything went wrong. My systems suddenly changed their identification to hostile, my cargo scan warned me about Wild on board (Evid. #16) and warning system shouts about a missile fired on me! My first quickly reaction was to start fight. But after tens of seconds of some shooting, my systems noticed me that this is friendly fire to Rheinwehr ships! Meanwhile Rheinwehr ships started to fire on me. I tryed to explain whats happened but my radio seemed to be broken because they not responded and continued in fire.
I decided to leave place because this desperate situation but they pursued me. This continued through jump gate to Stuttgart system. This was the second time in my duty after fight with MM~Shushy' that I had to use all my piloting skills to prevent destroy of my ship and situation against two vessels with military trained crew on board was very very bad. But I somehow managed to get to the planet Stuttgart, where was at patrol RFP|SEK-Bergelmir.04. I tryed to contact Bergelmir but my radio was still dead. It had to look very strangely for him, when he saw Rheinwehr ships hunting polizei ship. Fortunately he asked them to stop fire and they stopped. When I finally had enough time, I rebooted my ship systems and was able to start my radio again. I shortly told RFP officer whats happened and then landed on Stuttgart because of my exhaustion and to think about my failure which could end very bad.
I hope that Oberkommando will understand why this situation happened and will take into cosideration the circumstances - systems confusing failure that leads to my inexperienced kadett´s bad decision with combination of my hasty reaction which were in my opininon caused partly by fading away of recent fight with MM~Shushy'. I will defray all the damages on my ship (I´m assuming that I didn´t cause any damages to Rheinwehr ships) and I´m ready to pay a potential fine.
