I would like to announce that all the necessary steps in order to borrow a Jump Drive 4 and Hyperspace Survey Module Mk3 have been made. [①②③④⑤⑥⑦] Furthermore, I also attached visual evidence of procuring Helium-3 from extorted Interspace vessels which was later given to the Junker Marauders as per our agreement. [①②③④]
In Kepler with the assistance of Professor Scorpius, we intercepted two transports of the Hellfire Legion carrying fuel. The Professor demanded one of the transports to jettison their fuel but they foolishly refused which resulted in the destruction of both Hellfire vessels. We didn't have time to bring a transport in the area and collect the floating fuel since more Hellfire ships were rushing to the location so we destroyed the fuel and successfully fled. [①②③④]
In Manchester I intercepted a BMM affiliated transport using the BMF| tag which carried base construction materials. The captain was interrogated and he revealed that he is involved with the Tower of London and Hochschild Gold Mining PLC bases and has a contract with Betchley Park. [①②③] On the same system, I should also report the destruction of a Bowex) transport and of two security vessels which came to its assistance. [①②③④] Furthermore, I also intercepted a CR| vessel in Colorado system. The captain confirmed that he illegally traversed through Kusari in order to get to Planet Denver. He also informed me of an agreement between the Hellfire Legion and Colonial Republic. Apparently, HF wouldn't enter Coronado and in return CR will not patrol the Independent Worlds. Afterwards the captain made a small donation to the Lane Hackers before I allowed him go. [①②③④⑤⑥⑦]
Finally, there is one last thing to report. While traversing to Omicron Alpha I noticed a [UC] bomber intercepting a Freelancer who was bringing supplies to the Outcasts. I had heard some news that Unione Corse were intercepting cardamine convoys so I wished to see what would the UC do with me. Apparently, my suspicions were correct. My transport was tracked down and threatened by Unione Corse vessels. Even though I could make a run to Cali Base which was 9K away, I decided to ask the help of Klara Fabento, the leader of a Gallic Brigand group.

LH~Leiden.Traverser: I have little time to waste. [UC]-Demolir.1: You know this word, oui? LH~Leiden.Traverser: Tell me what you want [UC]-Demolir.1: For you to stop. LH~Leiden.Traverser: Go ahead LH~Leiden.Traverser: Why? [UC]-Demolir.1: It's a thing we have. We make sure it doesn't go anywhere. LH~Leiden.Traverser: Are you aware of the relationship between the Unione Corse and the Lane Hackers? [UC]-Demolir.1: I'm aware that there was a thing many ages ago. [UC]-Demolir.1: You keep moving. [UC]-Demolir.1: Stop. LH~Leiden.Traverser: There still is, last time I checked [UC]-Demolir.1: I'm not aware of a continuing business relationship. [UC]-Demolir.1: Cordial neutrality, perhaps. [UC]-Demolir.1: And you were just passing by, I'd have no issue. LH~Leiden.Traverser: Still, why you want to put this at stake? LH~Leiden.Traverser: This cargo is afterall heading to Liberty, not Gallia. [UC]-Demolir.1: But you're carrying Cardamine, and that's not a thing we permit out here. LH~Leiden.Traverser: Here? Define. [UC]-Demolir.1: So I must ask in the interests of politeness that you drop the sniffer weed. LH~Leiden.Traverser: Define what you mean here. LH~Leiden.Traverser: Because as I said it is going to Liberty. [UC]-Demolir.1: The Taus. LH~Leiden.Traverser: Well, I am just passing through the Taus in case you didn't notice [UC]-Demolir.1: You're carrying it here, regardless of where you wish tot ake it. [UC]-Demolir.1: And we don't permit that. So, again, I hope that's clear, but I must ask that you drop it. LH~Leiden.Traverser: And I told you the destination is Liberty LH~Leiden.Traverser: So what's with the Taus? [UC]-Demolir.1: And I said, I don't care if you were taking it to Rheinland. You're carrying it here, and we don't allow that. [UC]-Demolir.1: Please drop the cargo and depart in peace. LH~Leiden.Traverser: Since when? LH~Leiden.Traverser: I was not informed of it [UC]-Demolir.1: You are now. LH~Leiden.Traverser: Why you have never informed us? LH~Leiden.Traverser: You see I already paid for this cargo [UC]-Demolir.1: Many people already pay for it. [UC]-Demolir.1: That's on them. You're given the chance to drop it and go. LH~Leiden.Traverser: I think I should contact my friends at the Brigands Bernard.Picard: Bonjour people....... [UC]-Demolir.1: I think you need to stop moving. Bernard.Picard: Is that a Lane Hacker? [UC]-Demolir.1: With Cardamine, oui. [UC]-Demolir.1: I am asking politely that he drop it. Bernard.Picard: Leiden... I already saw that name somewhere.... Bernard.Picard: Back in New York. [UC]-Demolir.1: Perhaps you can ask politely too? Bernard.Picard: Oui Oui don't worry. Bernard.Picard: So Monsieur the Lane Hacker, how about you give me that Cardamine, in exchange: Bernard.Picard: I will give you one of the best Wine of Marseille. Bernard.Picard: And eventually a Bordeaux, if you so desire. LH~Leiden.Traverser: Is this some kind of a joke? I heard you have even received a gift from the Lane Hackers recently, Bernard. Bernard.Picard: *puts on a fake crown, imitating the king voice* What gift? You remember I denied it! LD|Klara:Fabento: Bonjour! [UC]-Demolir.1: Last request to drop the weed, monsieur. Bernard.Picard: How dare to force a Corse to betray his Exiles friends, and pirate them the next minute. LH~Leiden.Traverser: Hello there Bernard.Picard: Bonjour Madame. LD|Klara:Fabento: Hey LD|Klara:Fabento: What is going on here? LH~Leiden.Traverser: So Klara I would like to ask for your help LH~Leiden.Traverser: These individuals are overstepping our goodwill Bernard.Picard: *royal voice* I have been waiting for sooooo long for a peasant like you to arrive. [UC]-Demolir.1: We're stopping this shipment of sniffer trash. LD|Klara:Fabento: Corse, well. I want ask you don't stop him. Bernard.Picard: *royal tone* If you swear you're fealty to us, we will reward you with the half of the world. LD|Klara:Fabento: We have some contract with them [UC]-Demolir.1: I have no general problem with them, but this sniffer trash must be stopped. Bernard.Picard: HonHon, and what kind of contact? LH~Leiden.Traverser: Why do you care so much for Liberty? Bernard.Picard: And for my part, I do have a problem with this particular man. [UC]-Demolir.1: We care for the destruction of Cardamine. That's all you need to know. Bernard.Picard: *royal tone* You dare to stand against us? LD|Klara:Fabento: You shouldn't have problems I guess LH~Leiden.Traverser: I think you confuse me with someone else Picard. I have never met you. LD|Klara:Fabento: Bernand Bernard.Picard: *royal tone* But one of your friends did. LH~Leiden.Traverser: And what? He gave you a gift! LD|Klara:Fabento: I hope no [UC]-Demolir.1: Stop moving, monsieur. Bernard.Picard: Suggesting the destruction of Exiles precious food? I don't call that a gift. Bernard.Picard: You were trying to slow the supply of an Exiles squad and you dare to call it a gift? Grotesque! LD|Klara:Fabento: Corse, I guess you don't need anything from Hackers [UC]-Demolir.1: Last request, monsieur, before we vacate it from your hold by force. LD|Klara:Fabento: Corse, stop it now! Bernard.Picard: Captain of the Demolir, you got the last word I guess. I shall follow you *royal tone* LH~Leiden.Traverser: Klara do you see how unreliable they are? LD|Klara:Fabento: As I told, they are working for us Bernard.Picard: And in what way? Bernard.Picard: Are they giving the Cardamine money to us? *royal tone* LD|Klara:Fabento: It's our bussines [UC]-Demolir.1: Our business is to halt it. We seem to have an issue. LD|Klara:Fabento: They are giving cardamine for us.
[UC]-Demolir.1: Our business is not the distribution of mutagenics. Bernard.Picard: *royal tone* Weeeeeeeeee~ were supposed to be the one to provide the money for the revoution. Bernard.Picard: *royal tone* So we could avoid that kind of situation we are having right now. [UC]-Demolir.1: I'll need a passage fee. Bernard.Picard: *tips his fake crown* Easy money? Sounds fair. [UC]-Demolir.1: Four million. Bernard.Picard: We just want to make sure he won't get away with the money, in order to fund his organisation. LD|Klara:Fabento: They are working for us LD|Klara:Fabento: Just remember [UC]-Demolir.1: I'll pass that along. Bernard.Picard: *tips his fake crown* You may pass, peasant. [UC]-Demolir.1: I'm sure our Senat will find that most interesting. [UC]-Demolir.1: Adieu, sniffer lover.

LH~Leiden.Traverser: I see. Well, it wasn't needed but thank you. LD|Klara:Fabento: Next time be careful with them. *smile* LD|Klara:Fabento: Use other ways LH~Leiden.Traverser: Oh Klara, there won't be a next time believe me. LH~Leiden.Traverser: There are bigger things in motion. This is simply the excuse that we need to make the Gallic Brigands our primary business partners in Gallia. Unione Corse proved themselves as unreliable. LD|Klara:Fabento: They are working with lawfuls, so we don't believe them. LH~Leiden.Traverser: They are not to be trusted. They shattered the arrangement that we had with them. Which means they may also do so with any arrangements that they have with you, at any moment. LD|Klara:Fabento: We are frendly with them only for docking their bases.
I believe it would be in our best interest if within the week we organize a convoy to the Gallic Brigands in which we will have the opportunity to properly discuss the details of a new and prosperous relationship. [①②③④⑤⑥⑦⑧]
