Konnichiwa dear Colleagues,

This is a report of my shift at this day.All in all it was a silent day.But in Omicron Gamma was a strange situtaion i want to talk about.But first things first...

I start my shift at Planet New Tokio were i load 2350 Units Consumer Goods for Planet Kurile in Sigma 17 and 2350 Units Food Rations for Planet Crete.Well,you all know in which system this Planet is. (1)

So i start the run to Sigma 17.It was a very uneventful run.I sell the Consumer goods to the dealer at Kurile.He was very glad about the goods it seems.After a cup of delicious Kusari Tea,i start to Planet Crete. (2)

(2)

And this was uneventful too.So i arrive Planet Crete without any scratch.I met there a Black Sail.He was happy to see me with Food Rations in Gamma. (3)

I sell the Food at Crete and buy Artifacts for New Tokio.After i undock from Crete,there are two unkonown contacts on the scanner.But look yourself. (4)

(4)

First they looks not suspicious to me.And the Sail protect me when there is a problem i thought at this moment.So i start to head back to New Tokio.But then these two unknown vessels attack the Black Sail.I have a Picture of the System Communucation: (5)
(5) [Image: screen24y.png]

I talk to the Corsair after the Fight was over.These vessels are AI vessels.One is an AI Cruiser,the other is an AI Drone it seems.The first Target deka.fade with the AI Drone goes down by the Black Sail very quick.The Cruiser,callsign Deka.CPU,also goes down by the Corsair and some independent Corsair Titans.

Maybe there is a Programm backup for these AI`s where ever they came from.And maybe we see these Programms again.So be awared when they sneak around.

So thats the report from my todays shift.I hope i see you all in space soon.

Many regards,

Dan Mitchell

This is the new 新入社員 (Shinnyushain) Toshi Morinaga submitting my first trade route report. My route today took me from New Tokyo to Omega-11 and back to New Tokyo. I was able to meet up with a member of the DHC- and purchase some uncut diamonds thanks to the new contract we have. These uncut diamonds were then taken back to Narita Outpost, in New Tokyo for a hefty payday. I am very happy with my decision to join the Heavy Industries division of Samura. It is much more exciting than my old job.

Here are my turret-cam images that detail some of the sights during my trip:

[Image: pic1sigma13.png]

I met up with the DHC-Train.Darmstadt in Sigma-13, and we continued towards New Berlin.
I was carrying some Optical Chips that I bought on clearance at Shinagawa Station.
I will explain why in a minute.

[Image: pic2frankfurt.png]

The Darmstadt and my ship (the Hayabusa Maru) passing through the Frankfurt system.
I eventually sold the Optical Chips for cheap at Bonn Station, in New Berlin.
This will drive down the price for Kishiro's 2nd favorite export and hurt their bottom line.
Take that, baka Kishiro! Hehehehe!

[Image: pic3o11sun.png]

The DHC pilot mentioned the harsh conditions of the Omega-11 system and that their mining ships needed frequent replacement of parts.
So I launched from Bonn Station with Mining Machinery and delivered it to Solarius Station, Omega-11.
The Daumann employees on Solarius were very grateful.

[Image: pic4o11miningdiamonds.png]

The DHC train pilot contacted his colleague in their mining division, who offered to mine uncut diamonds for me in Omega-11.
The service was very quick and polite.
They must have learned that from Kusari Corporate Culture!

[Image: pic5o11fullofuncutdiamo.png]

The DHC Hegemon mined until my Ryuujin Train was full, then allowed me to take a rest at Solarius while he filled up the DHC-Train.Darmstadt.
I enjoyed some hot tea until it was time to go.
I payed $6000 Sirian Credits for each ton of uncut diamonds as per the new contract.

[Image: pic6osakareturn.png]

The DHC Train, now full of uncut diamonds, joined me for the route back to Narita.
He also invited one of his Daumann miner friends who flew under the call-sign: Ziraat.
Here is a photo of our convoy in Honshu.
On the way back, I made paper cranes for my new tomodachi.

[Image: pic7naritareturn.png]

Our convoy arrived safely at Narita Outpost with no pirate incidents.
We were surprised that Sigma-13 has been cleaned up already.
There were no nasty Junkers waiting for us there.
The Kusari Naval Forces must be doing a good job.
On Narita, I sold the diamonds for a huge pay-day.
This made me very satisfied.
But now I had to head home to Planet Kyushu.
So I said 'Sayonara' to my Daumann tomodachi and headed towards Yokohama Shipyard.

[Image: pic8planetkyushureturn.png]

I arrived safely and even transported over 4000 commuters (Ship Crew) from Yokohama Shipyard to Planet Kyushu with me.
I sent $5,000,000, or 20% of the diamond profits, to the Samura|-Shinjuku Bank account.
When I arrived home, my nagging high-maintenance wife emasculated me into submission.
I agreed to give her all of my profits so she could go shopping for Gallic designer fashion items.
Such is life for the Kusari Salaryman.

Greetings again mates,

another great day for Samura,here is my report:

I start my day at New Tokio, after my crew had a nice evening at New Tokio. So i load 4700 Units of Mining Machinery for the transport to Java Station in Tau 23. Just in the Moment i arrive there, my old buddy Duncan Northrop arrive there too. And as always he had Niobium Ore for me. So i load the Niobium Ore and after a little conversation with Duncan, i leave Tau 23 and go to New Berlin with the Ore.
[Image: screen20er.png]

After a very silent run i arrive at New Berlin. There i sell the Ore and buy 4700 Units Mining Machenery for Elbich in Omega 7. I also arrange a meeting with a Miner in Omega 7 for Silver Ore. With this Silver Ore i go to the Narita Outpost in New Tokio.Also a silent travel like the others this day.
[Image: screen22f.png]

Much more intressting was the Situation in Tau 23 a little later this day.I little "meeting" with a lovely Chrysanthemus in a Bomber. She tried to catch me but i reach Java Station with little scratches at my Hull. And the GC Bomber get destroyed by Duncan Northrops Mobilis.in.Mobile. But we there was no Escape Pod,so i think she get out alive.

[font=Tahoma]On my second big day of shipping adventures, I made great progress and big money for the company.

I started out by shipping Gate and Lane parts from Roppongi Station to up to Hokkaido. Since Ageira is has not been keeping the shipments up with the construction progress at the Gate Construction Site, I decided to help move things up to speed.
From there, I helped shuttle the scientists to Nansai Research Station.
Surplus Robotic Components were loaded onto my Ryuujin and hauled through Tau-29 to the Zoner Freeport named "Shasta" in Baffin.
The Zoners insisted I buy a bunch of magic necklaces called "Pineal Amulets" and that they would bring me good luck and long life. I believed them so I bought a bunch. After studying them for a few minutes while in flight, I quickly realized that they had anything but good luck value since I burnt myself on my green tea and got a paper cut folding my paper cranes. I decided to get rid of them and carried them with me to Freeport 10 in Tau-37. The Zoners at that Freeport were happy to have the Amulets...very strange gaijin.
I flew to Tau-23 and talked to an IMG gentleman. He notified me that Niobium ore was being sold nearby. Using his directions, I found a massive IMG ore depository and was able to fill my hull with precious Niobium Ore.
The Niobium Ore was transported to Planet New Berlin for processing. I next flew to Dortmund to pick up some of their MOX, which was on sale.
I hauled the MOX from Dortmund Station all the way through Rhineland, Sigma-13, and Kusari to Tau-31.
Here is a photo of my ship in Frankfurt on the way to Tau-31:
Once in Tau-31, I delivered the MOX to Battleship Yamaguchi. It seems they were running low on fuel so I was warmly received.
I had heard that the H-Fuel Mining in Okinawa was picking up and they were looking for more workers. So I offered some of the Refugees at Holman Outpost in Tau-31 to come with me if they wanted work. They all jammed into my ship and some of them enjoyed a nice tea ceremony with me. He headed towards Okinawa.
Here is a photo of us while in Tau-29:
Finally after a long trip, we arrived in Okinawa at the Fujisawa Mining Facility.
From there, I returned back to New Tokyo to pick up some Quantum Multiplexors for the Liberty-jin. Unfortunately, they were not too welcoming for me, and I quickly headed back to Shinjuku Station to end my shift.

Konnichiwa mates,

Another shift report from today. Not very succesful. But first things first.

I start my shift in Rheinland at system Dresden. So i load High Temperature Alloy for the Nansai Research Komplex in Kyushu at Leipzig Station. Just before i want to Jump into New Berlin, i recieved a Message from a Daumann escort wing member: DHC-SD.Zeta 1. He ask me if i can need a escort. I said of course, and he escorted me to Sigma 13 without any delay and witout any payment.

After he leave me the way to the Tsushima Depot in Kyushu was silent. But on the last waypoint to Nansai i met some uninvited Guests in Kyushu. Two Outcasts appered at he lane to the Tau 29 Jumpgate. They asked me for 8 million credits. I gave them money, because aaginst a Bomber and a Gunboat i had no chance at this point in Kyushu. So i leave this unpleasant meeting and dock at Nansai with the Alloy

Tough luck today. But tomorrrow Samuras star shines brighter than ever before. I know it.

Sayonara,

Seems im the only one with the paperwork for the multi's *grimaces* i'll have to leave the convoy when we get to gamma, hopefully the system is calm, the corsairs seem to be honoring there word, they must be in more need of this food, argh... i believe that the company knows what they are doing...

Gamma, it is oh so beautiful, iv got the holo-skys recording the data so my gardens can always shine this system down upon them, the convoy is almost at the break off point, i have a corsair escort to keep me safe, my original thoughts were in-correct, they are honorable people after all

---

The convoy is just in site... the food was un-loaded extremely fast, the planet sure does look like it needs some hard needed growth... the artifacts are loaded, strange things...
The corsairs seem to be escorting the convoy to home space... this is unexpected but greatly wanted... makes me feel at least, a bit safer out here...

The gardens are amazingly beautiful, we have just landed on new tokyo with the pay load, the paperworks in, and the crew on leave, my gardens are calling me, but first...

*transmission begins*

Konbanwa brothers and sisters of Samura.
I have some good news for you today.
The Junkers have offered to surrender to our beloved government earlier today and there shall be no more threat from these criminals.
Arbiter Crow of the Congress made this transmission to the imperial palace.

' Wrote:****Incoming Transmission****
****Comm ID: Arbiter Jack Crow****
****location: Classified****

I've decided to accept your offer. I will order Junkers to stay out of Kusari. You can have your isolationist culture and we'll leave you be.

There's been enough killing. I'm ready for it to stop. You make good on your promise to deliver that and you've got your deal.

Crow Out

****End Transmission****

As you can see we should be spared any aggression from them for the foreseeable future, as such I expect no aggressive action from any of our pilots towards them.
We have our ways and if they do not stick to their promises, we shall use them again to protect our people.
I will still ask you to forward to me privately, any evidence of their wrong doings particularly in regards to the Kusari people.

I wish to say arigato to you all for your calm during this time of unwarranted aggression, it is a testament to your professionalism and commitment to the Empire

Sayonara,
Okada Kazuya.

Konnichiwa Kazuya-san,

the report about the Junkers capitulation confirmed my decision to work for Samura and Kusari. So no problems with the Congress anymore? Sounds great. Good for Samura i think.

[font=Tahoma]I went on two more shipping routes. Here are some of the notable shipments:

TRADE MISSION #3:

I flew to Omega-7 in search of some Silver Ore for sale. It took a while, but when I am drinking delicious Kusari green tea, I can be very patient. Finally a friendly trader named FuryKiss sold me his cargo. I was very pleased.
Along the way back to New Tokyo, a tradelane in Frankfurt was interrupted by a strange Bundschuh bomber pilot named Ferdi.Moench* . He seemed to be confused and thought I worked for Kruger. I calmly explained that I worked for Samura, not Kruger. He demanded $10 Millions from me for some reason. I refused and scampered back to the safety of Mainz Storage Facility. He attacked me mercifully the entire way with SNACs and EMP guns. But luckily the Ryuujin is a excellently engineered vessel with an emphasis on pilot safety. So I was able to take sanctuary at Mainz and get my ship repaired. Afterwards, while the Bundschuh pilot was distracted by local Rhineland defenses, I was able to take the lane to Sigma-13 and did not see Ferdi.Moench again. Here is a transcript from our encounter:
The Silver Ore was successfully delivered to Narita Outpost in New Tokyo.
My Ryuujin carried Mining Machinery to Java Station in Tau-23 for the IMG. After that, I headed to the Council base: Reunion to buy diamonds. The diamonds were sold at Nansei Research Station in Kyushu. Here is a photo of my ship launching from Java Station after delivering the mining machinery:
For my final haul, I gave a ride to some space crew members from Nansei Research Complex to my home on Planet Kyushu. I couldn't wait to get home and take a nice hot spring bath on Kyushu before my wife comes and demands new designer goods. Here is a photo of me with the commuters:

TRADE MISSION #4:
I began my 4th big mission by hauling Light Arms to Okinawa. The Blood Dragons and GC stage frequent attacks on the bases in Okinawa, and our friends need all the help they can get. Sometimes, Judo and Karate are simply not enough to repel the evil Blood Dragons.

Along the way, I noticed a Zoner trading ship carrying Synth Paste through Honshu. This made me very angry, and I told him he should leave Kusari and take his Synth crap with him! He agreed and said sorry. I drank some Oolong tea to calm myself and eventually we met up again in Okinawa under much friendlier circumstances.
I purchased Plutonium in Okinawa and set course to the Zoners in Omega-49. I heard I could get a good price for it down there. Here is are photos along that route in Honshu, Sigma-19, Sigma-17, Omega-47, and Omega-49:
I arrived safely and sold the Plutonium at the Zoner base. I noticed they had surplus Deuterium for a good price, so I decided to fill my cargo bay with it and head back to Kusari:
I knew the battleship fleet in Kusari was having trouble procuring enough Deuterium because of the war with Bretonia, so I decided to head to Shikoku to re-fuel Battleship Myoko. Tabun(maybe) the Emperor will look more favorably on my now.
I then flew to Planet Junyo for a fresh and delicious meal. And I was not disappointed! Sushi, Tuna, Squid, Octopus...All my favorites! After filling my belly with food, I filled my ship's belly with food for the people of Planet New Tokyo. I hope they can enjoy the delicious seafood as much as I did:
After that I found a Capsule Hotel near the spaceport on Planet New Tokyo. I ended my shift, listened to some K(usari)-Pop, and went to sleep.
