Iv' started my journey on Saltese, Silver City, I had an IMG Miner under IC| Contract to mine for me, his name was Atara, yes it sounds like a girl's name, but it isn't, anyways, after I was filled up, i headed to the Kansas Jumphole, after I arrived, I went through the jumphole, then I set my waypoint to the Magellan Jumphole, after I arrived in Magellan I had some long range encounter's with the Liberty Rogues (NPC's), but I escaped through the asteroid field, some minutes later, I arrived at the Leeds JumpHole, were I knew things would get tricky because of the Gallic Royal Navy Invasion, I arrived behind Planet Leeds after using the Jumphole, I went to planet leeds, I looked up for the Stoke's Mining Station Trade Lane, minutes later I found it, at the Stoke's Mining Station there was an heavy attack with the Gallic Royal Navy, 1 Battlecruiser, 2 Gunboats and several Lynx Fighters, I Barely escaped through the Trade Lane to Tau-31 Jumpgate trade lane, I was lucky, after i arrived at the Jumpgate, I decided to dock on Glasgow Outpost to repair and refill my Batteries and Nanobots, I undocked and the way seemed clear, I used the Jumpgate to Tau-31, arrived with some Border Patrol issues of Gallia, but I escaped, I headed to Planet Harris, it was around 25 klicks from the Jumpgate, when I arrived, I found some strange ID miners, but I ran to the dock, though they were dangerous, I landed my Mastadon Class Ship easily on Planet Harris, after I landed i went straight to the bar to ease up with some scoth, slept for a day on they'r installations, I paid 1 million credits for my 1 day stay, Luxury Class Suite, then i decided to head up to the Storage Facility of Harris to sell all the silver ore I carried through this Journey. The End.
This was just a usual trip from Saltese to Harris.
After filling up my cargo hold with Helium-3 Inside the Okinawa system. II set off with my boss to go to the New London System. I recall it was quite quiet on the way. no pirates in sight me and my boss headed out.
When we reached New London my ship was experiencing a ion storm causing mass communication issues. I was trailing behind and it ended up a Outcast Storta was ahead. My boss managed to get away and lose the cruiser. I never saw it. Fear was all I felt. Our journey was quite crazy to say the least. . I arrived at Southhampton and unloaded my Helilum making quite the profit I wonder what I should spend it on...The Renzu Looks quite nice.
Anyways this is Joe Blow signing off. *shuts off comms*.
I bought some Gold Ore from Goldern Coin in Dublin. There, I made my way from Bretonia to New Tokyo where I sold my ore. That's all for now, Peter Sears out.
Thompson here. A few days ago, I took some HE-3 From Otemachi down to Southampton, and then proceeded to the Goldern Coin to pickup a load of Gold Ore. Unfortunately, I encountered a Corsair Praetorian outside of the Coin. Even worse, he tried to extort money from while I had no cargo aboard! Needless to say, I was unhappy. But through some quick maneuvering and an insane amount of luck, I managed to make him detonate inside his own Nova Torpedo blast. After procuring a load of ore from the Coin. But via more bad luck, I encountered two Farmers Alliance gunboats next to the New Tokyo gate in Kyushu. One of the gunboats was concentrated on a Shire from the IMG, the IMG|Rosenrot. The other attempted to charge me 20 million for the ore. As I figured he might try to pull some funny business, I decided running was a good idea. After a successful jump to New Tokyo, I found out they had help, in the form of a Corsair Dreadnought. I wasted no time, and proceeded to escape to a tradelane while the Corsair tried to slow me down. Luckily battleships like that don't carry cruise distuptors. I escaped to Roppongi, and looked off the bridge just in time to see their small group be repelled by a local Naval Forces patrol.

First of all, sir, I want to apologise for my noticeable absence and delay in submitting my weekly report. I’ve included it in my report, but I have been in the medical bay on Roppongi for the past fortnight. Seems I still have things to learn about human relations.
20130730 I was kindly shown the way to get to Shuri Station in Okinawa, so that I could in the task of shipping Helium-3 around. Before I left, it was also explained to me the primary routes Interspace Commerce uses to turn a profit. I filled my hold with H-3 and took it down to Pittsburgh for the handsome profit it provides. I started heading for Saltese base to purchase Silver, but in the California system I was accosted by a Rogue gunboat. I was about to comply with his demands for cash, knowing I was about to make a lot more money than that, when a second gunboat showed up, demanding five times the payment. Stubbornly, I refused to pay both, instead using some choice words hoping that they would fight each other. I was wrong. Thankfully, I was not seriously injured, and with an empty cargo hold, insurance basically covers all of the damage. I’ve attached my record of the first gunboat here. I think I need to lose a bit of my stubbornness.
After being taken in, a quick medical check and a few hours resting, I headed back to Pittsburgh, bought a load of Basic Alloys, and made out for Saltese again. I made it, though it was a little disturbing being so alone in the Kansas system, between jump holes. It took me a little while to find my way to Humboldt, but I made it, filled up with Silver and headed towards Planet Harris. Unfortunately, I had to stop at Glasgow Outpost in Leeds for a security check, and it was taking so long I decided to call it a night.
20130731 Morning came, and I continued on to Harris to sell my Silver. After some dicey encounters wtih the Gallians, I headed back to Bretonia and purchases a larger ship, an actual Train. I began my trek back towards Shuri base, purchasing Terraforming Gases from Shinkaku station on the way, to sell at Isehara Refinery. Docked at Shuri again, where I decided to take it easy for a while. I filled up on H-3 and headed to Southampton Shipyards, New London, this time, to see if it was worth more than my previous route. After selling it, I headed out to Dublin, to the Goldern Coin, but unfortunately they were out of Gold at that time, so I filled my hold at Graves Station. I made it back to Roppongi to sell, then called it a night.
20130801 I thought I would have a nice easy morning before heading back out to Shuri, and spend some time exploring this Interspace Commerce station. Unfortunately for me, in the bar I happened to sit next an inebriated Kusari merchant who really doesn’t like foreigners. My stubborn streak got in the way again, and, well, I didn’t conduct myself in the most professional manner. Sadly, I came off second best, by far, and I had to be taken to medical. I think it was concussion and some fractures, but I don’t remember. I’ve spent the past two weeks there, but the doctors have finally let me go.
Again, sir, I do apologise. I know I have negatively affected the image of this great company, but he was a real loser. I’ll accept any discipline needs to be meted out.

Well, I’ve been taking things a little slow after my recovery, but I hope it doesn't affect profits too much. Carted a load of Helium-3 down to Southampton Shipyard, but in Leeds I was unfortunate enough to run into some Mollys. Them lowlifes wanted cash, and as polite as they were, I didn't want to help. Knowing how it turned out last time, I thought it better to exercise restraint, so I paid the five million. Thankfully I make a lot more than that selling my cargo. I took records which you can see here.
Fortunately, there was some capable-looking law enforcers at the shipyard, and I let ‘em know about the pirates. He went to go find them, but I dunno if he found anything. Here’s my record of the conversation.
So, after that, I was thinking Gold was my next choice, so off to Dublin and Graves Station. Filled up and went back to sell it at Roppongi Station with no incident. Overall, I’d say a good run. It was nice not to lose my ship this time.
I had one interesting encounter, as recorded here. I don’t know what our policy is for pilots to carry our licence without being a part of our corporation, so I didn't challenge him, but perhaps someone of rank needs to have a chat with the pilot of =IC/TD=Skyfall.

Well, this week was a little quiet, friends. I headed off to Planet Tomioka, Nagano, to pick up some furs; I’d been told it was rather a lucrative market, if you knew where to go. After a long and lonely flight, I made it and returned to Planet Erie. Boy, what a payload! I knew I had enough cash to upgrade my ship, so I headed to Los Angeles to purchase a Bison, and a beast it is. I bought some Floragro from California Minor - one of merchants on Tomioka told me that was in high demand. I took a bit of a breather there to check out my new ship in detail.
After I left again, I ran into some foul luck. Just after arriving in New York, I ran into two Lane Hacker gunships, whose IDs I recorded just in case. You can see the shots here, here and here. Once again, I thought it better to not make trouble and get punished, which has happened to me too often in the past, so I just paid their two million dollar “fee”, as recorded here. I wonder if I can insurance for this, it happens far too often...I made it to Manhatten and spent a bit of time there, waiting it out in case there were any more of their friends around.
After I left, I had a smooth ride back to Tomioka. Well, as smooth as possible in this Bison. It handles a little worse than the ships I've become accustomed too, I’ll admit. At least it can fits lots of guns, but a fat lot of good they've done against the gunboats I've met. Once again, I bought some furs for Erie, sold them with no incident, and headed towards the Okinawa system to get ready for the big convoy. On the way, I bought some Boron to take up to Planet Honshu.
I had hired a miner with the ship name of Valent_Miner to help extract silver ore from a Humboldt asteroid field. After making around 6 hauling trips (Totaling in profits to ~250 million, +- 50 million) we encountered a Lane Hacker in an Enterprise (The name was heavily encrypted and I didn't think of turning on the camera). In a rather sad attempt to get money out of an empty transport (I had just arrived to the field) he ransomed my ship for 5 million credits. Seeing as how my miner companion was carrying a SNAC, I felt that I could fight it out.
Unfortunately he managed to pop my ship. However the miner managed to damage him to the point of fleeing. Satisfied with our efforts in stopping the pirate (Not to mention costing him more money than was necessary) we decided to call it a day.
That concludes today's report.
