Greetings, fellow Gateway colleagues!
Today I started officially as a pilot of the Blackwing Division.
Day started in Omega-3, undocked in the GSE-Inferno (Eagle). I patrolled the system with no particular events, except IMG miners going back and forth from Falster Base. One of them asked me to keep them safe in Omega-3 and Cambridge, in the trade lane between the Gate and the Norfolk.
I did agree, and after ending the first part of the day, switched from the GSE-Inferno to the GSE-Nova (Waran).
I joined the IMG convoy, made of 3 IMG Transports, a IMG VHF and a ALG escort. Omega-3 was calm t'day, no issues encountered.
In Cambridge, however, we met a rare sight: a Hessian Vidar-Class Cruiser sitting between the Lane to Cardiff and the Norfolk itself.
I disengaged formation and covered the convoy, while asking the Hessian to clear Bretonian space. He didn't respond, so I was forced to engage it. In the process my guncam broke so I couldn't link any video proof.
I was outgunned, and the Norfolk's turrets were out-of-range. Suddently, the Hessian stopped firing and asked me to stop firing as well. I quickly demanded to leave Bretonia at once.He accepted and I escorted him to the Omega-5 jumphole, where he jumped, then returned to Aland to repair the Waran. And here ends my first day.
Well, that's all. Larry MacDuff, reporting in.
P.S: Executive Shepard allowed me full use of the aforementioned ships, as well as the GSV-Reborn.1 and the GSE-Navajo, for the Oceana Defences.
After this, I hope to meet y'all in space! See you soon!

Hey there, colleagues...*pain grin**coughs*Damn, I feel like a carpet! Broken everywhere, top-to-bottom!
I did take off today in the GSE-Nova, for a small patrol of Omega-3. Nothing happened for a while, after which two ships showed up on my scanners: the GrazySlon, a freelancer Behemoth, and the ~VP)The.Stolen.One, a freelancer pirate in a Tridente Outcast GB. Obvious what was the pirate doin'. I talked with the pirate (the freelancer fled in the meanwhile) about pirating civilians passing by, and since he was in the 10k area of Aland, I decided to make a 2mil fine to him, and escort it out of the system. He refused to pay and attacked me off the bat. I retaliated. Unfortunately the GSE-Nova was put down, guncam destroyed in the process. However I managed to send to the GSE-Inferno the audio logs I attached before the ship blew to pieces. Executive Shepard's gonna be mad at me...*shivers*
A passing Zoner Nephilim, Pravda|TARKR-Kuznetsov, offered me help, but I couldn't lure the pirate into the 10k zone of Freeport1 for the aforementioned "incident".
A passing IMG transport tractored my lifepod and took me back to Aland. In pieces *grins*.

Greetings, Matthew Jones speaking.
We have just supplied the base with some Magnetic Superconductors (3950 to be exact). Nothing to be reported during this shipment.
Sender:Evan Williams Location: New London Encryption:Low Priority:Low
Evan Williams reporting in.
It was an exciting week to say the least. The week started off fairly slowly as the Columbia was still going through final stages of construction. On 2/15/823 AS we were finally able to take to the stars.
Our first task was the delivery of Gold Ore to a jewelry firm on New Berlin. We delivered a total of 94800 units for a profit of 887.517.600 Sirian Credits.
We also moved cargo for the Geneva Shipping Platform in Omega-7. We delivered a total of 14220 Units of Hull Segments and 9480 Units of Industrial Hardware for a profit of 50.000.000 Sirian Credits. During the operation we received a transmission from Zak Conner of the BMF|. He seemed interested in securing a contract to move supplies and ores to their bases so I advised him to contact Gateway|'s corporate office.
Towards the end of the week I encountered a Bowex Vessel drifting within Omega-3. To my surprise her hold was full of Aluminium Ore. I tried hailing the ship multiple times without response. With no other ships on radar I decided to [Redacted] the ship and [Redacted] theOre.

Dear Alan Shepard,
Flying in Dublin system i encoutered a molly train [M]-Minecart.O'Gold and stopped it. In two minites a combat squad arrived to support him. A Scylla [M]-Saoirse, a hyena [M]-Martha.Lass and a barghest [M]-Lews.Harry,Stone. They surrounded me and treated me as corsairs's friend, because i helped a corsair against mollies, because he was fighting versus 4 ships. So they wanted to blow my ship up:
Gateway|-GSE-Navajo: Shmykov:As i said he was alone versus a scylla and bombers
[M]-Saoirse: well oy's shure e'erywun will loike tae know ye poilot be helpin' 'sairs, yer employer fer example
[M]-Saoirse: we dun care what ye tink
[M]-Saoirse: maybe AP manufacturin' , too...
[M]-Saoirse: dat would be very interrestin' in fact
Gateway|-GSE-Navajo: Shmykov:I did what i did
[M]-Saoirse: un' ye shall learn deh consequences o' yer acts
Gateway|-GSE-Navajo: Shmykov:And nothing can be returned
Gateway|-GSE-Navajo: Shmykov:Learn me?
[M]-Saoirse: aye teach ye
Gateway|-GSE-Navajo: Shmykov:I guess i will regret
[M]-Martha.Lass: Oh you will for sure
Gateway|-GSE-Navajo: Shmykov:Hm
[M]-Lews.Harry,Stone: Ya boy is dead
I tried to convince them not to do bad things, said that guns weren't the way to solve the problems and that i regreted about my done help to the corsair, but they didn't want to leave me:
[22.02.2016 17:34:28] [M]-Saoirse: yes ye did, un' admited it, ye helped 'sairs
[22.02.2016 17:34:44] Gateway|-GSE-Navajo: Shmykov:It was a mistake
[22.02.2016 17:34:55] Gateway|-GSE-Navajo: Shmykov:He was on your territory
[22.02.2016 17:35:11] Gateway|-GSE-Navajo: Shmykov:But on the other hand, he actually nneded help
[22.02.2016 17:35:32] [M]-Lews.Harry,Stone: Ya better stay still
[22.02.2016 17:35:50] [M]-Lews.Harry,Stone: Also, you helped a Sair
[22.02.2016 17:35:51] [M]-Martha.Lass: Why we should care if he needed help ?
[22.02.2016 17:35:57] [M]-Lews.Harry,Stone: It's like, I help Nomads
[22.02.2016 17:36:03] [M]-Saoirse: well, oy say one's gotta learn frem hees mistakes....
[22.02.2016 17:36:17] Gateway|-GSE-Navajo: Shmykov:I think everyone has 2nd chance
[22.02.2016 17:36:27] [M]-Saoirse: un' we shall teach ye, froy, oy heard 'nough fer t'day
[22.02.2016 17:36:34] [M]-Lews.Harry,Stone: Not you!

[22.02.2016 17:36:52] [M]-Lews.Harry,Stone: Aye, now you can feel your mistake!
[22.02.2016 17:36:57] [M]-Lews.Harry,Stone: Weapons hot!
I had to defend myself and during the combat [M]-Lews.Harry,Stone ran away [M]-Martha.Lass was killed:
[22.02.2016 17:59:03] Gateway|-GSE-Navajo: Shmykov:I hope next time you won't shoot at me
[22.02.2016 17:59:14] [M]-Saoirse: whoy won't we nae ?

Unfortunately he didn't change his mind and stayed hostile to me.
Well, that the end of the report, hope Mollies will be more friendly to us.
Best regards, Alexey Shmykov

Overall, all you did a very good job. I have nothing there to remark separately.
However, I want to talk about the Geneva Shipping Platform case. I find it offensive behavior from Cpt. Dillan Hunt. He humbled he makes a mockery about Bretoninan corporation, Gateway Shipping Inc. It shows no respect to the faction to the Bretoninan corporations. I think this man has no respect for the Bretonians he have no idea about who is the enemy and who is the friend. Hereafter the Geneva case is considered one internal security mission. I will launch an internal audit to proceed to the end of how we are affected in this case. From now on only the executives have permission to communicate with Geneva owners. Thanks for understanding,

Dear Alan Shepard,
Yesterday, when i was resting at Curacao, i got a message about the Corsair's activity in Cambridge, so the sunday's evening on the beach was spoiled. When i reached Manchester i encountered with the corsair forces: Vito.Sanchez|CTC-a Titan, Dada'-a Mamoru and Victor.Rivera|CTC- a Centurion I tried to convince them to go back to Cadiz base, but they didn't want to listen to me:
[28.02.2016 19:36:11] Vito.Sanchez|CTC: It seems the gringo is looking for trouble, Dada
[28.02.2016 19:36:20] Dada': well, i see.
[28.02.2016 19:36:31] Gateway|-GSE-Navajo: Shmykov:To run to your hole from you came and stay there.
[28.02.2016 19:36:39] Vito.Sanchez|CTC: No, you do that!
[28.02.2016 19:37:00] Gateway|-GSE-Navajo: Shmykov:Why should I?
[28.02.2016 19:37:18] Vito.Sanchez|CTC: Because if you dont you will get turned to pieces by 3 corsair ships
[28.02.2016 19:37:24] Vito.Sanchez|CTC: Dont say I did not warn you
[28.02.2016 19:37:34] Vito.Sanchez|CTC: You have 30 seconds to engage your cruise angines
Really, they "advised' ME to turn back and i had 30secs in my disposal, hah:
[28.02.2016 19:38:40] Gateway|-GSE-Navajo: Shmykov:Why do you want to blow me up?
[28.02.2016 19:38:55] Dada': In exchange of monetary support, maybe not.
[28.02.2016 19:38:57] Gateway|-GSE-Navajo: Shmykov:I mean let's talk
[28.02.2016 19:38:59] Vito.Sanchez|CTC: Since when do we need a reason?
[28.02.2016 19:39:11] Vito.Sanchez|CTC: Give us a reason to talk to you
[28.02.2016 19:39:12] Gateway|-GSE-Navajo: Shmykoviracy isn't not the way
[28.02.2016 19:39:23] Dada': For our people, si.
[28.02.2016 19:39:24] Vito.Sanchez|CTC: Jesus, not this again
[28.02.2016 19:39:32] Death: [RM]Ge.Frederick.Klose suffered a self-administered loadout error (Missile/Torpedo).
[28.02.2016 19:39:41] Gateway|-GSE-Navajo: Shmykov:You could be nice guys being peaceful
[28.02.2016 19:40:10] Vito.Sanchez|CTC: You are wasting our time, gringo
[28.02.2016 19:40:16] Gateway|-GSE-Navajo: Shmykov:Well, leave the Bretonia space please.
[28.02.2016 19:40:23] Gateway|-GSE-Navajo: Shmykov:You can't cope with me.
[28.02.2016 19:40:27] Vito.Sanchez|CTC: You got conojes, I'll give you that
[28.02.2016 19:40:35] Vito.Sanchez|CTC: I told you. 3 of us, one of you
[28.02.2016 19:40:42] Vito.Sanchez|CTC: Are you sure you want to do this?
[28.02.2016 19:40:57] Gateway|-GSE-Navajo: Shmykov:If you are so silly to engage me, yes, i am sure
[28.02.2016 19:41:05] Vito.Sanchez|CTC: Fine
The fight took 15-20mins and after than the Corsairs ran away and left Bretonia space:
So I defended Bretonia from Corsair's threat but i am sure they will come soon...
Best regards, Alexey Shmykov

Greetings, Matthew Jones speaking.
We have just supplied the base with some PlasFoam Conduits (4855 to be exact), 3345 are pending to be delivered. We could not continue due to high presence of ~VP) pirate vessels. We had to pay a fare to get through this time.
on patrol our territory, and to finish the day by coming back by returning home, what a surprise! I fall on a friend and a hms in close touch with the eaters of children. Unfortunately, it was too late!
Purpose lucky ace i am, i have escaped them. After reloading, i undock to join my home and i find again these corsairs, fortunately for me an officer was there to help me. We hunted one of them until londres where three others joined him.
With the help of the officer Murky, we succeeded in neutralising them. One of them only in successful to avoid us.
Balance sheet, three wrecks corsairs floated in the space after battle.
