Good day Executive Offices,
My crew and I recently completed an ore run from the Edge Worlds to the Kusari systems and back. We encountered multiple ships along the way, all friendly interactions. Some were crewed by Freelancers, others by EFL, and one by Orbital Spa. We greeted them all with respect and kindness and thankfully they returned the gesture, with both crews wishing each other safe travels as we left each others scanning ranges.
In the Tau-23 system we even encountered a group of Zoners studying nearby anomalies. We tried to get a closer look out of curiosity but we were advised against it for our own safety. We are now making our way to Bretonia trying to avoid the squads of pirates that are ever so rampantly patrolling the area. Our crew is not without a bit of worry, as talks of the need to upgrade to a more heavily protected ship have been going around. I will consider these suggestions in great detail to further increase the protection of AWES employees and cargo.
It's these long voyages across the Sirius Sector that really make one sit and contemplate to chaotic beauty of the universe. Compared to the orbiting gas giants and asteroid fields, living organisms seem to be nothing but a quick flash of photons from a powerful energy source, dissapearing as fast as it appeared. This may sound pessimistic, but I believe it is the best realization I've had so far. We all have the chance to exist even if it is for a small amount of time. We all have the ability to affect the things around us. How we affect the things around us is our decision. Will we be a flash of photons from the nearest star, giving life to the planets around it and illuminating them against the backdrop of colorful interstellar clouds? Or will we be the flash of photons emitted from the guns of pirates menacingly threatening our convoys? It is up to us to decide.
Sincerely,
Jay.Gould
