Guten tag und glückliches Neues Jahr 821! Wachmann Carsten hier again. Let´s continue with my report. I was going to mention illegal base in Omega-7 named Stanfort Base. We discovered it near free mining fields where IMG usually mine during patrol with Oberst Wolthers, which was commanding Berlin-Tegel gunboat, and Detektiv Meister. Base was not in Outpost Registry and we were not allowed to dock. During examination on the spot, another ship was present. Military pilot introduced as hauptmann Klein. Signature of ship was quite unusual but our attention was captured by base so we didn´t investigate it further, what showed later like a mistake.
Then...something terrifying happened. I had vision caused by das Wilde agent...uhm, well, probably more by nomad in him...creepy!...which was there too but cloaked at that time. I don´t know how he did that, but I saw detektiv´s ship destroyed and spotted hostiles which I started to shoot. My colleagues were confused by my behaviour, what is understandable. At this moment, Director Artura arrived to the area. Fortunately after few minutes vision faded out. Just when we were ready to leave...and I was ordered to visit medical check because others...hmmm, again...thought I´m crazy. But it proved I was not! Again... Because at this moment Wilde agent in Bergelmir bomber named Panzerfaust uncloaked an instantly attacked Detektiv Meister´s ship with torpedo and the fight started. But Hauptmann Klein started to behave strangely and attacked Detektiv Meister too!
Fortunately, few minutes after, Wilde agent blew up himself with his torpedo. Unfortunately, just a moment after, so-called hauptmann destroyed detektiv´s ship. But I caught the escape pod. Then hauptmann told us he was confused an attack was mistake. He was ordered to stand down and be arrested, but instead he started charging his cloaking device. After that, we attacked him. Sadly, he quickly destroyed ship of Director Artura. Me and crew of Berlin-Tegel then fought Wilde agent but he managed to evade our shots long enough to arrive to Omega-3 gate and then he jumped out of system. Then we started return to Rheinland core space. Uploading scans and records now...
But busy day is busy. I stayed behind Berlin-Tegel a little because of refueling and some quick after-fight check on battleship Schwerin. When I was on the way through Stuttgart system, Oberst Wolthers called for help because he spotted Bundschuh train in New Berlin system named Vango.Sneaks loaded with prisoners - this smells like slavery to me, by the way - and started pursue while criminal started escape to Kreuzberg Depot. I tried to cut his way but ship got too close to have enough time for destroying it. Well, precisely saying, we could have enough time, but Junker docking operator let the criminal dock! Seriously, this should be taken as serious offence by helping to criminal! My guncam unfortunately somehow failed to make any screens of the event, so I can provide only communication record.

Code:
[20:36:09] RFP|Berlin-Tegel: Got a Bundschuh train near Bonn
[20:36:29] RFP|Berlin-Tegel: Need help catching it
[20:37:09] RFP|Berlin-Tegel: You are not wanted in Rheinland
[20:37:49] RFP|Wach.Laura.Carsten: Im crossing him.
[20:37:52] Vango.Sneaks: im sure you have better things to do sir
[20:38:14] RFP|Wach.Laura.Carsten: Better stop pilot.
[20:38:30] RFP|Berlin-Tegel: Get that Bundschuh
[20:38:59] Vango.Sneaks: im no trouble sirs *winks*
[20:39:19] RFP|Berlin-Tegel: Oh really? We will make sure you are not trouble to Rheinland anymore...
[20:39:24] RFP|Wach.Laura.Carsten: Stop!
[20:39:30] RFP|Berlin-Tegel: Drop those prisoners!
[20:39:54] Vango.Sneaks: aahh i'll take a trip to the bar boys, drinks on me
[20:40:05] RFP|Wach.Laura.Carsten: You made lot of trouble to junkers
[20:40:07] Traffic control alert: Vango.Sneaks has requested to dock
If you think that this was finally all that day, you are wrong. Because we found near Kreuzberg another unwanted visitor. In this case, Interspace Commerce Bison named Csipri loaded with gold. We can only assume he just undocked from Kreuzberg or was going to dock there, because of lack of docking ports in Rheinland with his papers. And captain...can you imagine he was really sassy in this position? I really think he deserved to be fined for his behaviour. Despite he was ordered to fly to Hamburg to be expelled towards Liberty, he started discussion why he can´t fly to Stuttgart and Bretonia. But we laughed a lot when he started talking he will sue us...I´m not sure if he meant me and oberst or even Republik of Rheinland as whole. Anyway, we confiscated his cargo and then escorted him out through Bering jumphole in Hamburg system. Oh and why he even entered our space? I will quote captain himself: "The smell of fresh credits is hard to avoid." Pfff... Uploading scans and communication record...
[20:39:48] RFP|Berlin-Tegel: Interspace? This is becoming beter and better.
[20:40:01] Csipri: Can't we all just get along?
[20:40:26] RFP|Berlin-Tegel: IC transport, drop all that cargo
[20:40:33] RFP|Wach.Laura.Carsten: What you do here pilot?
[20:40:34] RFP|Berlin-Tegel: You know you are banned from Rheinland
[20:40:38] RFP|Wach.Laura.Carsten: You dont know laws?
[20:40:53] Csipri: That was made my attention some time ago...
[20:41:00] Csipri: I thought it was all over now
[20:41:12] RFP|Wach.Laura.Carsten: You thought wrong.
[20:41:19] Csipri: Thanks for the heads up.
[20:41:22] RFP|Wach.Laura.Carsten: Now drop the cargo and pay the fine.
[20:41:27] RFP|Berlin-Tegel: Not really. Due to IC supporting the Red Hessians, your company was banned from whole Rheinland
[20:41:28] Csipri: The fine being?
[20:41:41] RFP|Berlin-Tegel: You will drop all of your cargo now
[20:41:55] Csipri: And how exactly are you going to transport it?
[20:42:07] RFP|Berlin-Tegel: That should not be your concern...now drop it!
[20:42:13] RFP|Wach.Laura.Carsten: Not your concern. And we have right to destroy it.
[20:42:23] Csipri: My, the universe is full of impatient types today.
[20:42:45] RFP|Berlin-Tegel: Impatient? Rheinland was long enough patient with Interspace in the past. Not anymore
[20:43:09] Csipri: You know, soon I'll sue.
[20:43:17] Csipri: I'm about to snap as well.
[20:43:27] RFP|Berlin-Tegel: And now I suggest you get out of Rheinland... fast!
[20:43:29] RFP|Wach.Laura.Carsten: What is he talking about?
[20:43:37] RFP|Berlin-Tegel: I don't know
[20:43:48] Csipri: That shouldn't be your concern, as you said before.
[20:43:49] RFP|Berlin-Tegel: Anyway. You will move out of Rheinland on the fastest way. Now!
[20:44:02] RFP|Berlin-Tegel: Watch your tongue, IC pilot.
[20:44:02] Csipri: Mind if I take something with me to make it worth my time?
[20:44:22] RFP|Berlin-Tegel: No, you will leave Rheinland with empty cargo. Failure to do so and your ship will have some rather big holes in the hull
[20:44:40] Csipri: I'm starting to get rather familiar with that kind of setup.
[20:45:20] Csipri: Then would you mind escorting me out?
[20:45:20] RFP|Berlin-Tegel: Do not try to dock anywhere in RHeinland
[20:45:35] Csipri: How are you going to be sure? At least make my trip out safe.
[20:45:47] RFP|Wach.Laura.Carsten: I still think we should fine him...
[20:46:09] RFP|Berlin-Tegel: One more stupid word from your and a fine will be levied... One you will not forget that soon.
[20:46:28] Csipri: Can I take that as a 'no'?
[20:46:30] RFP|Berlin-Tegel: Set course to Liberty now
[20:46:45] Csipri: Bretonia isn't good for you?
[20:46:59] RFP|Berlin-Tegel: You got an order from me, you will obey it
[20:47:19] Csipri: Yes. You told me to get out the shortest way possible.
[20:47:25] Csipri: For me, that's Cambridge.
[20:47:48] RFP|Berlin-Tegel: Liberty. And nowhere else.
[20:48:10] Csipri: Is there a law saying 'pesky Interspace pilots must be sent to Liberty and Liberty only'?
[20:48:35] RFP|Wach.Laura.Carsten: This captain is reaaaly sassy...
[20:48:42] RFP|Berlin-Tegel: There is a law that says, IC is banned from RHeinland. Guess what it let's me do with you, if you annoy us even more?
[20:49:05] Csipri: I'm just saying that where am I going shouldn't matter, since I'm leaving anyways.
[20:49:09] Csipri: But if you see it that way...
[20:49:12] RFP|Wach.Laura.Carsten: When you get order to go to Liberty, you will go to Liberty. Anything hard to understand on it?
[20:49:15] Csipri: Let's gp the LONG way.
[20:49:41] RFP|Berlin-Tegel: And don't try anything stupid...
[20:50:02] Csipri[$83] entered tradelane at New Berlin B-5
[20:50:03] Csipri: Don't worry. Next time I think about coming in here, I'm going to have my head checked.
[20:50:20] RFP|Wach.Laura.Carsten: You better never return.
[20:50:40] Csipri: After such a hospitality? Expect no change in your standard of living.
[20:50:43] RFP|Wach.Laura.Carsten: Do you now see why?
[20:50:59] Csipri: In the short run, yes. In the long run, no!
[20:51:00] RFP|Wach.Laura.Carsten: Station crew doesnt have our patience.
[20:51:37] RFP|Wach.Laura.Carsten: You traders... What is hard on reading laws BEFORE you enter some house space?
[20:51:53] Csipri: The smell of fresh credits is hard to avoid.
[20:52:19] RFP|Wach.Laura.Carsten: Sure...money. You will end in prison one day with this attitude.
[20:52:43] Csipri: Well, let's get creative then. What if I were to sign up at Daumann part-time?
[20:52:52] RFP|Berlin-Tegel: *laughes*
[20:56:00] Csipri: Okay, where now?
[20:56:04] RFP|Wach.Laura.Carsten: Lane is not the way...
[20:56:13] Csipri: You guys pretty much sealed this shut.
[20:56:14] RFP|Wach.Laura.Carsten: Turn left an follow me.
[20:56:23] RFP|Berlin-Tegel: You may blame Liberty for this.
[20:56:37] Csipri: Yeah, always the neighbour. What a lame excuse!
[20:57:05] RFP|Berlin-Tegel: If you continue, I have to find an excuse on how to explain all those holes in your ship's hull.
[20:57:07] RFP|Wach.Laura.Carsten: Hmm...you really talk too much, captain.
[20:57:42] RFP|Berlin-Tegel: Get out of Rheinland. Stay out of Rheinland
[20:57:43] RFP|Wach.Laura.Carsten: Better leave before our patience will expire.
[20:58:00] RFP|Berlin-Tegel: If we find you in here again, we will forget the questions and start firing right away
[20:58:00] RFP|Wach.Laura.Carsten: And watch out for pirates...hihi.
[20:58:17] Csipri: Well, you guys weren't exactly the raw models of 'serve and protect'
[20:58:32] RFP|Wach.Laura.Carsten: You are law violator...and sassy law violator.
[20:58:36] RFP|Wach.Laura.Carsten: You got what you deserved.
[20:58:38] RFP|Berlin-Tegel: We protect Rheinland against you, IC captain.
[20:58:43] RFP|Wach.Laura.Carsten: It could be worse, trust me.
[20:58:48] Csipri: Hey, I have an army of lawyers, if I say I am right, I am right.
[20:58:59] RFP|Wach.Laura.Carsten: *laughs heartily*
[20:59:02] RFP|Wach.Laura.Carsten: Sure, sue us.
[20:59:13] Csipri: Nah, you're no big fish.
[20:59:13] RFP|Berlin-Tegel: We can see how much your lawyers help you against plasma fire *smirks*
[20:59:30] RFP|Berlin-Tegel: Shall we find it out?
[20:59:33] RFP|Wach.Laura.Carsten: Now...GET FINALLY OUT!
[20:59:46] Csipri: You know, parting is such sweet sorrow.
[20:59:58] Csipri: Don't sweeten it.
[21:00:07] RFP|Berlin-Tegel: Consider this ein warning shot. The final one...
[21:00:21] RFP|Wach.Laura.Carsten: He really want holes in his ship, dont you think, oberst?
[21:00:29] Csipri: Well, one last picture taken.
[21:00:41] Csipri: Farewell, guys, I got your faces digitized and saved.
[21:00:42] RFP|Wach.Laura.Carsten: Gut. *smiles to objectiv*
[21:00:45] RFP|Berlin-Tegel: It looks like...gunners, target that Bison…
[21:00:46] Csipri: Good night!
But now back to illegal base in Omega-7. As you noticed by interruption in my last report, during attempt to remove it by military and police capital ships, hostiles made mainly by Corsair bombers, but also by Wilde agents or independent pirate in gunboat arrived on the spot and attacked. Just a hint whose probably base was. Despite snubs which arrived to help, including me, and our best effort, they managed to disrupt the base siege, destroy some ships and others had to flee back to Schwerin and Freistadt. Some, like my Raven´s Talon, were heavily damaged. You can see some guncams, which show how numerous hostile forces were, hier...
Fortunately, as I heard the base was destroyed next day anyway. But I have to stay at previous day because again, battle was not all that day. After more than hour of fight with hostile bombers and fighters, my ship was damaged and out of munition as well as fuel so I disengaged and flew at maximum speed to battleship Schwerin to refuel and resupply. When I undocked, I spotted at the area zoner carrier named [Z]DragonsEye flying around. I was in fighter and didn´t have time for this unfortunately, so I only ordered him to quickly leave Rheinland space and started cruising back to battle at Stanfort. I still want to report this law breaking captain for case he will repeat the offence and enter Rheinland space again. Uploading evidence...
