Evenin Ladies and Gents, actually got a bit of work done earlier today. Spent a little to much cash in the bar again, lost a bit of my rank on the charts. But made myself back up there. Also seems that the intelligence of Corsairs are dropping like usual, passed two buggers both under the name of 'Gentle'... Pests couldn't catch me.
Also had a little run in with Andrea, the gals still looks hot, but never seems to accept my dates. Meh, her loss I guess.
Right then, I'm off to the bar!

Jay!
My reputation has been hacked! And that's not all. Someone sneaked into my train while it was docked on Texas and filled the whole cargo bay with boxes which had Cardamine stickers on them. Of course they were faked but it was enough to deceive the police scanners.
I didn't sleep well last night so I didn't realise what happened until I got to Planet Manhattan. It's a bloody disaster as everybody must have seen it. OK, it'll take some time and a lot of bribes to fix this mess.
Rick Deckard out.

Never out of trouble are ya, if it ain't one thing its another ... I won't bring up that 'Corsair Fiasco' again.
I got a message from an associate of mine in NY tonight, saying you were squawking the wrong tag and
your hold was flashing some dodgy contraband when scanned.
Mate you know the score, if ya get snagged you're on your own. I can't keep bailin' you guys out, the
legal bills are astronomical enough now, and the bribes costs are damn right criminal ...
Whats wrong with that bleedin' expensive alarm system I had fitted to all the ships ? Forget to turn it on ?
Just lay off the sauce when flyin' alright.
I'm removing ya bar privelidges and the key to the executive washroom for a week.
That is all.

EH! Where the hell have you all been? Haven't seen an escort in weeks! Only meet up with Alpha along the routes, and Rick on another. Haven't seen anyone else. Cmon! We have some new equipment to play with, an "Advanced Train" is being sold in Munich, I was lucky enough to pick one up. Jay's gonna have to purchase some in advance just for the IND to get their hands on some. Those things are going fast.
Anyway! No more sitting around staring at your bank accounts, back to the trade!

If you are needing some company over the long routs, and no not that kind, I am in Theta right now, But I was thinking of flying the old 'Claw back down to London. If any of you want an escort, I would be willing to Help.
And on a side note, my Father Aaron Verginix is thinking of dropping his Gateway ties for more of an Independant side of trading. You might see his trader with a new Tag sometime soon.
See you in space.

Sorry guys and gals, the fishing, and other more pressing things have kept me out of the office, and surprisingly,
the bar for a while, but hopefully that is all going to change now
The paperwork pile is as high as a Dutchman on a Friday night as usual, so bear with me if I miss one or two bits
in passing. The SiN|Tech office 3000 cleaner has passed its one year warranty, and duly broken down as
expected, so back the manual version, and of course she wants a pay rise ...
Any other offers ?
Soo to the changes round here ... Lots of new goodies we need to discuss, and higher profit margins on those
less than safe and savoury routes. Standing orders apply on those of course ... Nuff said there I think.
I ain't picking up your tabs for any out of pocket expenses. We clear on that ?
New ship classes and cargo hold sizes have come out of the showrooms, be checking those out as soon as I
can, or just wait for 'Sirius Top Gear' to run the usual consumer tests. I have gone for the update of me previous
big mother, getting the Adv. version for that extra space, and profit.
Lots of ruddy bills to pay in the pipeline ...
The flagship Saratoga is off to the Auctions next week, we don't have a use for her any more. The ship registry
paperwork just ain't worth the upkeep at this time, so I will turn her into a store and bank for those of you
keeping your Epsilon buddies in beer and bacon sandwiches.
New Executives are joining the board at this time to increase our stranglehold on the trade market, so give em
the usual hangover when you catch em unawares.
Scruffy, I expect will live up to his name, Gilbert, you will find in the bar right now. Andrea reckons her dad is
coming over from Bretonia at some time, and I have had some contact with another gent, but lost the link at this
time, so I am waiting on the techs to fix the bleedin' problem as usual.
Any other business can be discussed here, apart from those trade routes that you find giving us the edge in the
haulage market. Don't spread those around, unless its to get the scummy pirates to go elsewhere ... Get me
drift ?
Anything else, I'll be in the bar doing a stocktake and making sure Soph keeps you rabble in line ...

You think you got problems with that paperwork mate, you ain't seen nothing yet. My old haulage buddy, or rather, ship, got impounded a while back. Lucky me, had some cash stored away for just this kind of emergency, eh. I'm starting to like them Kusari and their "rainy day" philosophy, whatever that means. But at least I could throw away all the bills associated with that hunk of junk. They were becoming a hazard to my health, you know.
Those funds I got locked up aren't gonna be enough for that Advanced version your plannin' on gettin' Jay, but I reckon the showrooms have a few treats for my budget.
I already got a route for you and the others, but I suspect the more scruteniseing of the population will cotton on pretty quick once they bring up the interspace registry on our ships. We could always try, I guess, but I already saw another using it. Bah...
End transmission.

Jay my man,
Dont you dare complain about paperwork "Auld yin", to use some Edinburgh Colloquialism. You try doing the job of a half human immortal. I mean Korrd has to be that to get all this flamin work done in time. I'm bloody tempted to tell Val'ren where to stick some of this............
Anyway to more relevant matters. Derek slid Michael an updated version of his run so no probs on our end. Shame about the Saratoga though, she was a fine vessel. But hey if your looking for top buck for it I'm sure those capital ship obseessed miners that inhabit such colourful places as Holman, Java and Sulawesi
will probably be more than happy to have another massively useless un-asteroid friendly ship. That is of course if they arent off trying to aquire the mining permits to Omicron Theta, at least I think that's what they're doing.
Other than that may the profits continue and the Epsilon wing get away with disturbing the peace.
Be down at the bar when I get my vacation.

I thought my luck was bad, until about, an hour ago. Was eying up a few of the new transports in the Shipyards of Sirius magazine; had my eyes on the Heavy Tanker, but then I caught wind of Stuart's sister and her shiny new Advanced Train.
Stuart has said that he will, uhh... how do I put this... oh what the hell. He said he'd lend me the key to the old Large Train she had, and see if that worked. Well, good news is, it does! Had to get out of there though, his sis came along to check the AI systems in there. Bit of a let down really; had to pretend to be a deckhand for all of ten seconds. Installed a little data logger to the outside of the ship while I was at it though, and it seems like a good route has come out of it, actually. Also, it seems she feels obliged to trade with some *cough* questionable *cough* goods, though there's very little of that. Still, shines through what the bounty hunters are. Nothing but a bunch of turncoats and pirates "gone good".
Anyway, her route is quite profitable and sticks to safe space for the most part, very little of the omicrons in it. There are a few inefficiencies, which I think can be left with us to sort out, but for now, I'll send you the raw data collected thus far. Expect a new message in your secure channel inbox in the near future.
But, anyway, Stuart's old key works! When I find an opening, you should see a Advanced Train in the skies squawking IND colours. Might have to borrow a mallet though, just in case I need to put the security on the ship out of action. Best part, is I didn't have to spend any of me under-the-table funds either!
Be seeing you and the rest of the lads in space soon, I feel.

Heads up boys and girls, change in ship registries I'm afraid. Cheap as chips now though ...
Swap those IC cards in for the Trader ones would ya. Seems we need to be a little looser on the affiliation
side of things now. Hope its not too inconvenient ...
Get with the new ships list as soon as you can, some new mean machines out there to try. Trade routes are
out there waiting to be found ... Keep em under your hat though. Inter office memos only please.
That is all ...
