I was busy in the recent weeks, reporting shipments, encounters, even kills. Ja, my Uruz's guns are dangerous and I use them a lot, with piracy on the rise. Starting report, I loaded 4110 containers of High-Temperature Alloys for Alexandros Investments, our Kusarian customer from New Tokyo, and delivered not bothered by pirates. On the way from Leipzig to jump gate I met Kruger miner in Dresden, coming from Kruger's field with only few Uncut Diamond containers, we had short talk, he said it's next to impossible to mine Diamonds in Dresden, seems like that system is really mined out entirely. Well, guess good for us, as we have entire Omega-11. If we become total monopolists on that market, does it mean my salary will be increased?
In Kusari I was questioned by friendly Kusarianische Militar pilots about my destination, and I was escorted by them. One pilot behaved quite weird, but well, as long as they shoot pirates and are friendly... In Kusari other Daumann transports joined me, as their crews were resting, and ships were under repairs after Outcasts attacked earlier convoy in Sigma-13. We loaded Ship Hull Pannels for Samura outpost in Nagano system, but we couldn't buy Platinum Ore for way back to Rheinland, as there was none stocked at the station. We called Samura miners, and found, on the other side of Sirius, DSE thief stealing Kusarian ore. They steal from Omega-7, they steal from Nagano...
The other day in Frankfurt I noticed ALG ship coming from restricted Westerwalde nebula, suprisingly Rheinwehr pilot ignored it....Maybe ALG has secret deal with Militar? Oh I suppouse I shouldn't have said that.
We met even Outcast destroyer outside Freeport 1, and IMG battlecruiser in Leeds! Clearly Bretonians can't handle pirates, enemies, and people challenging their authority.
Convoy with hired (incompetent, turned out) hunter was attacked by Union Corse bomber in New London, between Southampton and jump gate to Leeds. Hunter could ask us is BPA or Orbital ship threat to us, but ignored suspicious bomber staying suscpiciously close to the trade lane. Instead of keeping close to us, idiot tried even to catch bomber in a gunboat! More, BPA pilot just stood there and watched as that son of a hessian attacks us, he didn't engage! That resulted in one transport lost, we immediately recovered escape pods, naturlich, and as HMS-Vigilance was after forced to flee pirate, we succesfully delivered ore to Stokes, and loaded Ship Hull Pannels for Oder. Departing from Leeds, that very same Police officer questioned me even, weren't that -we- who opened fire first. Zis ist unacceptable!...
After I delivered Hull Pannels to Oder, I loaded Consumer Goods for Raubling, including toilettenpaper and new toothpaste from Cryer factories. Travelling through Frankfurt, scans of DSE subcontractor's and Orbital main employee's ships revealed Uncut Diamonds onboards. I didn't know we mine those for DSE and Orbital, but business is business, I think.
When I returned to Berlin from Munich, and delivered more refined Aluminium for Ring, I helped some Zoner unload his cargo to Berlin, as Rheinland law doesn't allow them to dock any transport with cargo hold bigger than Borderworlds Transport, and, obviously, capital ships, which are banned from our space entirely.
Ending, Niklaus is sick and in hospital currently, he asked to inform he managed to get away from pirate in Bretonia before he felt worse, and delivered Super Alloys to Oder.
