I had a rather unusual encounter today. I met a ship from a group known as the "Virulian Enclave", a usually reclusive group of AI intelligences.
The VE|AC-Liberalis, a Shukensha-class Liner, had somehow obtained a small quantity of Gate/Lane Parts and, following company directives, I recovered them. Thankfully, it was a non-violent episode, and the AI handed over the White Boxes.
However, during the discussion I had with the controlling AI, "Alliasse", she (it) mentioned that the Enclave might be interested in the installation of a Jump Gate to their home system of Omega-49. I am forwarding this log to the directors in case they do decide to contact Ageira.
Our corporation is currently acquiring a Tau Trading License from the Bretonia Police Authority. We expect this to be processed and complete within a few days and then our shipments in that region can resume.

Greetings.
I'm sending this message to warn Ageira's employees about dangers on the routes inside Kusari space. A few days ago I've encountered a couple of Outcast Tridentes camping the lanes in Honshu, New Tokyo and Kyushu, systems where a lot of Helium 3 is hauled through. The pirates mostly ask for huge sums of money and sometimes even take all the cargo. Furthermore, Lane Hackers are very frequent in Shikoku system. As the police patrols and naval forces officers state, the Hackers lurk next to the lane from Tokyo gate to planet Junyo most of the time. Be cautious and it's all the information I want to share about dangers in Kusari for now.

Ageira has secured docking permissions at the IMG's Falster Station in the Omega-3 system. All transports operating in that region are encouraged to visit the station in order to purchase mined Ores for delivery in Liberty.
Ageira has also secured docking permissions at the Bretonian King's Cross Station, located in the New London system, next to the Cambridge Jump Gate. Currently, Beryllium Ore is available, and should be sold on Planet Pittsburgh in New York.
