PRIORITY: Maximal ENCRYPTION:None IDENTIFICATION:Wachmann Alexander Krupp SOURCE: Escape Pod , New Berlin System SUBJECT: Emergency Transmission
Mayday! This is Wachmann Krupp! While on routine patrol, we were engaged by a Red Hessian battlegroup in New Berlin! I called for emergency assistance, and the Cruiser Chemnitz responded. But there was so many of them! At least two cruisers, and a Battleship, we were no match for them. I was shot down by the Battleship's Flak Cannons, my Escape Pod is currently hurtling toward New Berlin. The Chemnitz is taking heavy fire, I can just see out of my view port....Mein Gott! That Hessian ship is coming straight at me! Mayday Mayday!
*The Transmission's Video Feed is Interrupted, as the Escape Pod is tractored in by the Hessian Vessel*
*The Emergency Transmission, after roughly thirty minutes, cuts over to a woman in the garb of a Red Hessian Oberleutnant, likely from the Cruiser that captured Krupp*
Guten Tag there, Polizisten. My name is Oberleutnant Thana Erebus, I'm the Kommandant of the ship that captured your fine Offizier here. Poor boy, he's sleeping right now. Don't worry though, We're going to wake him soon.
*She Smiles Wickledly*
I'm sure you're expecting a ransom order now, aren't you? I'm afraid that's not how things are going to go. No, you see, Herr Krupp...We're going to kill him.
Why? To prove that we can.
And to teach you, that the next time you see a Hessian, you ought best run the other way.
*The sounds of someone waking up can be heard, and struggling, shouting into a gag. She turns and her smile widens*
Oh, He's woken up. Einen Guten Tag noch, Polizisten. We'll be sure to send his remains back to you...when we're done with him, that is. The Red Hessians send their Regards.
*She walks off screen, and the feed continues for a few more seconds, before cutting out to static, as the transmission is sent*
