I have to report some more deliveries for the Black Sails-Contract.
[P] = Proof of pickup
[D] = Proof of delivery
Consumer Goods from Freeport 2 to Leon Base [P], [D] [P], [D]
Total: 10000 Consumer Goods
Note: the Consumer Goods to Leon Base are already added to the sheet.
H-Fuel from Gas Miner Naha to Cadiz Base [P], [D] [P], [D] [P], [D]
Total: 15000 H-Fuel
I actually delivered 20000 H-Fuel but forgot the pickup proof. Manuel delivered the rest though. So the Cadiz H-Fuel is completed.
Pulled escort for Long Con, Capt Zeb Vale, Running food to Crete from Canaria.
Was nice runs, and the only trouble we had was when some Corsair rookies demanded the food from Zeb, and got violent when he tried to tell them he was bringing it to Crete- maybe it was a long range patrol who had run out of rations - or maybe they wanted the glory of bringing food to Crete themselves - who knows. Either way, I pop'd them with some CD's as distraction long enough for Zeb to land and get the food off - once we undocked, they musta realized the gambit was over and took off - did there best to kill me though! Sheesh...
Gotta say, this fighter is one helluva beauty! Much better then the Guardian I flew in the Navy.

Proud to say the Long Con has'n lost her touch being all but mothballed for four months. Did some Sails runs today - food and H-fuel. Got to be escorted by Mr. Jessie Kace in OSI-Red-9. Fine fella, the lad, did great, got my n**s off the fire couple of times, and saved my bacon just in front of Crete, as he says, except it was a bit more hot than he makes it sound. When those idiot rookies started shooting at me, Crete docking ring refused to let me in. Got to scrap it on the double and clear the situation on long range comms. No permanent damage though... Great work, Jessie - beer's on me for the month.
Comodities delivered:
Food rations /issue Gran Canaria/ - 20 000 units
H-fuel /Issue Gas Miner Naha/ - 10 000 units
Pickup and dropoff guncam shots /hmm..I have no guns, but I havea guncam..strange/
Food rations: Planet Gran Canaria to Planet Crete P1D1 P2D2 P3D3 P4D4
The first H-fuel delivery has proofshots from inside the Tripoly docking bay only. Mr. Kace had to leave me before the end of the run. The idiot rookies tried to strip me of me cargo again, so I had to hurry up the docking procedure. Can't say the dock watch was happy with me, nope... The cargo got to the desrination safely though.
That be all for the moment. The ship handles fine, the head almost as good, no more headaches.
Zeb Vale is ready to do some man's job of work, he is, even if he says so himself.

Presently a deal was made between me and Mr. Victor Howell. As a result, a certain amount of cash exchanged hands, and the OSI-Ascension changed her captain to your humble servant Zeb Vale. Please take notice of the above in your future encounters with this fine ship.

Hello there, fellas. I happened to be back at Sirius sector for a while to resupply, and ran into Ned Laster.
I had a pleasure of helping him with current OSI' Sails contract. Tripoly shipyard got another 5000 units of H-Fuel, here's the proof for the paperwork:
Now, I understand that the contractor may deny such a proof as there's no timestamp. But, well, nothing I could do about it, whole lot of my ship systems are messed up horribly. Anyway, I hope it'll slip through.
Heading back on my recognaissance mission. Wish me luck.

this time I was working for the IMG contract(s) with my BWT.
[P] = Proof of pickup
[D] = Proof of delivery
Spaceship Crew from Planet Kyushu, Luxury Consumer Goods from Planet Tokyo to Dounby Station [P], [D]
Total: 50 Spaceship Crew, 750 Luxury Consumer Goods
Spaceship Crew from Planet Leeds, Luxury Food from Planet Cambridge to Dounby Station [wildish P], [D]
Noteworthy: Encountered some Wilde and Keeper flagged vessels close to Planet Leeds. I greeted them and continued with my business. The Luxury Food is perishable... for some reason they told me that something or someone else would have to perish. Strange folks. Visual black box proof
See Proof of pickup for some callsigns.
Total: 750 Spaceship Crew, 750 Luxury Food
Luxury Food to Jakarta Orbital Facility
This time I have stopped at Java Station. An IMG| in his hydra gunboat took the Luxury Food and promised to deliver it to Jakarta.
Evidence:
- Cargo transfer screen
Following to the transfer, the IMG| set course to Tau-39. So I expect everything is in order.
Total: 200 Luxury Food
I have just finished a great run together with Manuel. We were working on the IMG and Black Sails contract.

H-Fuel from Fujisawa Mining Facility to Java Station [D]
Details of the route:
Because of the Kusarian restrictions on H-Fuel we took the following route:
Okinawa: Fujisawa Mining Facility -> Honshu Jump Hole
Honshu: Sigma-13 Jump Hole
Sigma-13: Sigma-19 Jump Hole
Sigma-19: Omicron-Beta Jump Hole
Omicron-Beta: Omicron-Alpha Jump Hole
Omicron-Alpha: Tau-37 Jump Hole
Tau-37: After a brief stop at Freeport 10, Manuel delivered his H-Fuel to Falkland. We moved to Tau-23 Jump Hole afterwards.
Noteworthy: We had to keep a safety distance to Planet Malta, as the Outcasts had some "blue guests". Fortunately we didn't draw any attention.
Total: 3500 H-Fuel
Fertilizers from Shinkaku Station to Planet Crete
Being in Tau-23 already, we decided to take the Tau-29 Jump Hole and take same Fertilizers to Planet Crete. [P], [D]
Total: 5000 Fertilizers
