We were contacted by a potential buyer for our Type-3 cloak disruptor, so after a brief meeting with the Board of Directors I went ahead and scheduled the sale and personally oversaw the transaction. Afterward I was instructed by Mr. Gunsmith to maintain production of the disruptors with the intention of having one of each type in stock on Elysium at any given time. I relayed the orders to the production facility on Elysium and using the stock that I had delivered earlier this week they have begun work on a new Type-1. Most of the materials are already on-hand, but a steady supply of Iridium remains elusive. The following shipments have been procured and delivered to Elysium by myself since my last report:
- 13,100 Energy Field Equipment from Austin Depot, Texas
- 10,000 Plasmonic Metamaterials from Graves Station, Dublin
End of message.
As he knew I was new to this organization, Mr. Daverson showed me the mining site and I filled his transport with approx. 4,000 Silver Ore. After that first trip, he undocked in a fighter craft. I didn't take notice as to which type, but he stuck around and showed me the ropes while I attempted ( and failed ) to not get lost my first time out "on my own" in the system. I mined an additional 1680 silver ore. I sold 1120 to Elysium and I took the remaining 560 with me to Denver as I needed to make a stop there to pick up some supplies.
I've returned to Elysium and will continue mining tomorrow.
I received a notice from the Elysium quartermaster that we had fallen below 30% of our Reinforced Alloy stockpile, so I spent my entire shift just flying back and forth from New London about five times. We're back up to safe levels.
Cargo manifest:
- 25,000 Reinforced Alloys from Planet New London

I made 10 trips between Elysium and the silver mining area successfully ( 5600 ore ). On my 11th return trip, I was denied entry - While I wasn't told why, I'm assuming they were making repairs to the docking bay... Since I had a full load of ore and didn't want to be a target for pirates, I took my load to Denver and sold for a pretty penny. By the time I returned, whatever was going on had been corrected and I was allowed to dock. I went back out and filled my hold again... only to be told that the warehouses were full. Once again, I took my full load of ore to Denver.
A little later, Mr. Daverson showed up. The two of us went out and I filled his hauler with silver. Since I knew we were going to make a trip all the way to Denver, I filled my hold up as well. We had a successful trip to Denver, where we offloaded our ore for a fairly decent profit.
Total mined:
11,280 Silver ( assuming an even 4,000 in Mr. Daverson's Transport ).
End of message.
Addendum:
I spoke with Mr. Daverson about my plans to purchase a Bison class transport. After some discussion, I decided that purchasing a Hegemon mining vessel would be beneficial if I was mining alone. I would be able to mine ~2700 ore per trip. If I were transporting it from Vespucci to Denver, the additional ore would make the trip actually worthwhile. I made 2 trips with my new Hegemon.
My first trip's return to Vespucci wasn't without issues. I was stopped by /_\-Will.Puke, who demanded I drop all cargo immediately. All I had on me was a poor Liberty Rogue pilot I was holding onto until I could release him to the authorities. Luckily, Will Puke was satisfied by it and let me go about my business. Part of me is curious as to what happened to the pilot... Most of me doesn't want to know.
Mr. Daverson was nice enough to run security for me on my second trip to Denver. We ran into an LNS officer in New York and let him know about the pirate activity. He followed us to the California system to search for the pirate and keep an eye on things.
Mined an additional 5400 Silver Ore & transported it to Colorado for sale.

The first run was directly to New London in to get my first shipment of reinforced alloy. Afterwards I was informed of the need to continue supplying the base with iridium from the edge worlds. I decided it would be best to bring the heavy firepower and opted for the G.W.Bulldog as escort. We proceeded to take some florogro to Freeport 11 and return with a full load of iridium, enough to finish production of a cloak disrupter and have some in storage for the next one. A very successful day.
Yesterday, when I was doing my thing in my Quarters. I was interrupted by Mr Gunsmith respectfully. As he ask me do him a little go do a little errand to the Boarder worlds
For a load of pre-paid for Items and return it to Elysium. I, without an answer. Got up, and accepted his errand and he walked along, doing his thing as President.
As I got Suited up, I heard someone fuelling my ship without me asking to. Guess it must be one the Crew members must of fuelled her up. Well that's one less task for me to do as I got a long Journey ahead of me.
As I entered the Cockpit of Hauler.. I was giving all green systems as I fired her up. The Crew told me all systems outside is a go. As I flew out, I Though quickly go to Planet Las Angeles to collect the food, water I need them for the Journey back.
Went out on my Trip to Freeport 11. As the time goes by as I fly into the dangerous Regions of space, I began to think, What Trent did, he faced nothing to hard for his guns to get hold of. that's all I think about all time time in the trip.
As I was half way back in from the trip from Freeport 11. It got quiet so I put some music on and relaxed as gone home from there. No Contract to talk with, no one around me.
All I hear was the sound of the music, Guns fired around me and of important thing, My engines.
Got back home, with nothing lost or damaged. These new systems seems the best idea I could ever ask for. This is end now of my report.
And today, I did a load of alleys as I got a bad feeling she is in need of them, and maybe I do another two before I start doing another Journey to the Omicrons

I started my day with the long haul run out to Omicron Delta for the precious Iridium. The run was long as always but otherwise uneventful. After which I proceeded to make a shorter and less risky run to Newcastle for the Super Alloy.

1x3990 Super Alloy
Nothing to write apart from talking to Captain Limbeck of the DSM)-T.Pinafore about IFF's and all Elyisum needs for it's blueprints, and staying alive.

Matthew Rogers and I made 2 trips from Elysium to Denver with Silver ore to help empty it out from John MacRae's mining extravaganza that left the silver belt a bit lighter and Elysium a lot heavier. Had some entertaining & informative conversations with both Matthew Rogers & Dan Gunsmith while transporting ore.
I later made a third run of Silver Ore while picking up Magnetic Superconductors for production on Elysium.
Cargo manifest:
- 4,040 Pharmaceuticals from Planet Denver to California Minor
- 4,040 Food Rations from Planet Los Angeles to Luxury Liner Barbados
- 10,000 Magnetic Superconductors from Pablo Station to Elysium
