Convoy Information:
We start at New London and head to Newcastle to resupply Scarborough, before picking up Super Alloys for Baltimore shipyard to supply Ships for our Allies the Libertonians. After receiving payment we continued on to our next contract with Newark Station to take Luxury Consumer goods to Curacao, we bought a bottle of Liberty wine and shared the bottle while making our way there, was a nice fruity flavor. We then continued to take Tea and started to head to Rheinland to bring back cigars, though 2 were missing from the shipment
Convoy Incidents:
Liberty: On our way to New York we came across a Luxury Liner having trouble with the trade lane, I managed to squeeze by it but the Montfort got a little stuck eventually the Montfort managed to get by, we also came across a Lane Hacker in a Dagger thought we managed to divert around him and outrun him twice and a rogue that took no interest in us
Borderworlds: We came across a Hessain on our way to Rheinland I we managed to overtake it and leave it behind, but it managed to catch up with the BES Montfort and charged him 3000000 SC in order to continue, on the way back we cam across an Ionstorm, I decided to dock up at Freeport however the Montfort decided to brave the storm, I hope it's ok
Rheinland: We came across a few Rheinland Officials, politely said hi and let me by, the Montfort however got pulled over for carrying Corsair weapons, after relinquishing them, we were allowed to continue, though one decided to follow us to make sure we left via the Omega systems
Other Notes:
I hope the Montfort made it to New London in that storm, I will head on back to New London myself once the storm is over, sharing a cigar with a few freelancers while waiting it out

Incoming Transmission from Stokes Station, Leeds

To: Bowex InfoNet. Priority: Moderate. Topic: Convoy report.
Convoy Participants:
BES Johnson, Shire - Andrew Peterson.
BES Wolfe, Shire - Duncan Moreland
BES Enfield, Shire - Kevin Cameron
BES Montfort, Shire - Roy Stinger
BES Stanley, Shire - Max Wolf
ExSec T. Cumberbatch, Eagle
DHC Andreas Schmidt, Eagle
Convoy Information: Well, this is going to be a mess of routes. Initially, myself and Mr Moreland departed for Scarborough for a load of Super Alloy. Upon returning to Planet Leeds orbit from Newcastle, we were joined by Mr Cameron of the BES Enfield. From there, the convoy proceeded to Hamilton Station in Ontario for the drop off, before continuing up to Fort Severn and acquiring Military Vehicles for the Planet New London garrison. Mr Moreland departed there, while me and Mr Cameron returned to Scarborough with more Basic Alloy. The Super Alloy was subsequently dropped on New London.
At this point we were joined by Mr Stinger, Wolf and Cumberbatch. Loading up with freshly mined, high quality Niobium Ore from King's Cross, we set off for Planet New Berlin. While in transit, Mr Cameron showed good initiative by arranging the terms of a contract with Andreas Schmidt - a Daumann miner - who agreed to mine Alluminium for us in Munich. Dropping the goods off on New Berlin, we picked up Consumer Goods for Raubling Station. At this point, I adjourned for a brief engine inspection while the others received their ore. I returned in time to receive a load myself.
Mr Wolf and Cumberbatch had departed by this point, so we employed the Daumann miner as a scout. The four of us then successfully returned to Leeds, where I paid our business partner for services rendered.
Convoy Incidents: While the vast majority of our trip was as peaceful as a lobotomised Zoner, Munich was notable for causing a considerable amount of trouble. As we were en-route to meet our miner, he let us know that Bundschuh agents were operating in the area, and had just charged him a sum of $1m in order to vacate the mining field.
Expecting trouble, we jumped in and found another Bundschuh - VWA Erich Klugmann - waiting for us on the other side of the gate, along with another unidentified vessel. We initially believed it to be a Rheinland Military Wraith, but this illusion was immediately dispelled when it seemed to speak directly into our minds, revealing itself as Wilde.Zweifel!
Showing an unexpected concern for our lives, the Mr Klugmann then hurried us away down the trade lane, and rushed forward to engage the alien menace. Contrary to Rheinland's claims (and in confirmation of my own beliefs), the Bundschuh appear to be entirely reasonable people.
Other Notes: After-analysis of the incident with the "Wilde" alien revealed that the brute was using transponder signals that were almost 20 years out of date. Looking for similarly dated Military signals may be a way to spot more of these creatures in the future.
It appears the Bundschuh soldier survived his encounter as well, seeing as he contacted me shortly after. He offered to tell me about Rheinland's political history, which I took him up on, seeing as my own education on the subject was limited to "Rheinland received a jolly good thrashing from the GMG".
During the course of this conversation, I expressed my misgivings about the brutality of the Hessian movement, which the Bundschuh appear to be indirectly (at the very least) responsible for creating. Something to bear in mind, I suppose.
P.S. It appears Duncan is still a complete and utter berk.

Message Notes: Hullo there, chaps and chapettes!
We've been contacted by our allies in Liberty - namely the Liberty Government - for a shipping contract of the utmost importance. It is our intention to give their time-frame estimates a jolly good thrashing, and show them the true meaning of Bretonian efficiency. Should this be the case, we are likely to receive further offers of business. We are currently expected to deliver 25,000 units of Ship Hull Panels to Long Island Station, in orbit of Planet Manhattan.
As a motivator, any captain that delivers 5,000 tonnes or more will receive a bonus of $10m, with the captain to ship the most units receiving an additional $15m on top of that. In order to apply, append delivery logs (with pictorial evidence) to the InfoNet here, and a manager will sift through and make sure you are assigned the correct pay-outs for the end of the month. These will be wired across with the rest of your funds.
Well, snap to it!

We started from New London system with and idea to supply Scarborough with some Basic Alloy. We had 3 "Shires" , 1 Shetland and one escort. When we arrived on Scarborough we and supplied Scarborough with some Alloy we took from there Super Alloy. Our new waypoint was KC base in New London where we after giving that base some Super Alloy we took lost of Gold Ores. The next destination was a bit far system- New Berlin. Our flight was good we had no threat everything was just great for us.

We loaded our cargo holds and flew all the way to Leed where we unloaded out ships and where we finished our flight.

Report Information: Because our base- Port Talbot needed some good sir Roy and i went form New London to Omega-3 system so we can supply our base with those goods. Was nothing really special just fly from here to there and on and on, but it was worthy. Our base is now filled with extremely needed goods.
Convoy Incidents:As we were about to dock on Port one Red Hessian ID'd Cruiser started shooting at us. It is fortunate that we had those weapon platforms or else we would be dead by now.
But it all went well 'cause sir Roy had his "Shire" and with "Shire' he literally saved my life and i am very thankful.
Other Notes:The station "Port Talbot" is supplied with these number of goods:

Message Notes: Hullo again, more contract details inbound!
We've been tasked with dropping some goods off on Freeport 101, in Tau 29. The route we'll be taking to get there is through Newcastle, then Tau 31 and finally into Tau 29 itself. We're placing this as a relatively low priority for contract initiation, but once it has been started, all of the required goods must be dropped off quickly.
Yes, this is an odd one. So, get the Long Island chaps sorted first, then stockpile the goods for this deal and ship them across in a single convoy. Easy. We'll give you all a shout when we're ready to roll out.
The Nuclear Devices will need to gathered beforehand, so we'll open up some space on 'Cross for their storage. Just about everything else can be sourced locally at fairly short notice. Managers and supervisors will direct employees to pick up goods as required when the operation begins.

Incoming Transmisison from planet New London, New London 22. 04. 820. A.S.
From:Rodney Stuart To: BowexInfoNet Topic:Transport report
Participant(s): - Roy Stinger
Report Information:After getting Gold Ores from 2 BMM members- Henry Stuart and sir Hoskins, sir Stinger and i engaged our cruise engines and with goal to get in New Berlin safe we kinda failed. When i was setting the Jump Hole code so i can jump to New London system a group Corsairsstarted to shoot at sir Stinger. Luckily he made it to New London so as i, but that's not it. After we cruised we heard an incoming missile....... it turned out that that missile was pointed to sir Stinger. The attacked was name Reaver...a mercenary. Sir Stinger did everything to protect his cargo hold intact, but that Mercenary pilot shot 5 missiles at sir Stinger and turned his ship into pieces. Hopefully i managed to tractor hisLife pod and what is left from that Gold ore.
Sir Stinger and i manged to enter the New Berlin alive and sell the ores to planet New Berlin. From base named Krupp i took some Aluminium ore and transported it to the Leeds system.
Then we flew to Newcastle and Scarborough base where i payed for Roy's new ship. It is good that everything went well and that we are alive and mission accomplished.
Convoy Incidents:As i said, the Corsairs chased us then the pilot named Reaver destroyed sir Stinger's ship so we had to buy a new one at Newcastle.
Other Notes:The KC base has been supplied with following goods: -21.725 units of Basic Alloy
-108 units of Oxygen
Port Talbot has been supplied with these following goods: -9.890 units of Robotics
-500 units of Food Rations

Incoming Transmission from King's Cross, New London system
27. 04 820 A.S.
To: Trade Combine employees. Priority: Moderate. Topic: Bonus updates.
Message Notes:
Good evening to you all!
I'm just passing a memo from HR down the line. They're trialling several new bonuses that can be claimed by employees for inclusion into their monthly wage packet. I won't bore you with the rationale behind the move, so we'll jump straight to the meat of the matter. Here's how you can earn more cold, hard cash.
An additional supplement bonus is now awarded to employees who go above and beyond with their commitment to the company. The Overtime bonus will award $15m for each full day of time on your contract clock on the last day of the working month.
The Industrious bonus is designed to reward those who take a proactive stance on the supply of our assets. For every 10,000 units of essential upkeep goods delivered to King's Cross or Port Talbot, you are entitled to a reimbursement of $5m.
So, that's the latest advancement. Just remember! Unless you request a bonus, you won't receive it. Use your standardised company bonus request form, file in in triplicate and have it sent off to Lancaster. They'll be able to counter-sign it with a regulation 79 contrastamp and dispatch it to King's Cross for validation. See, it's all perfectly simple!
