Konnichiwa honorable ones,

Five daily reports have slipped under my attention but I finally found them and reporting them now:

Tuesday 11.11.821

Sato Kawafuji and me organized a small mining and transporting operation for Itabashi Station. First Sato and me were operating in Hokkaido system extracting Helium-3 from the gas cloud and transporting it to Itabashi Station. First transport run was a bit slow, but as we warmed up it went faster and faster. After offloading the first cargo hold a share of profits was sent to Samura|Gadalcanal operated by Sato-san. Second tour was faster and Helium-3 was already mined and waiting for my transport. I sold it on Itabashi and again sent share to Sato-san. Second but not the last was the Raw Hydrocarbon mining operation in Tau-29 Shinkaku fields from which we both returned full. [1], [2].

Monday 29.12.821

A busy day on the other fronts, only managed to ship one cargo load of Platinum to Rheinland while staying on the planet for the night.

________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Tuesday 30.12.821

Started the day by flying off to Omega-7 and buying the ores from Reutlingen Station. Some time later I safely arrived at Narita and sold them there. Some hours later I with my ship transported two more Akegata cargo loads of Platinum to New Berlin system and Omega ores from Reutlingen Storage Facility to Narita Station [1], [2], [3], [4].

________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Wednesday 31.12.821

New Year and that, managed to get only one cargo load of Platinum to New Berlin.

________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Thursday 1.1.822

And Omega ores back to Kusari space and Narita Outpost.

Konnichi wa honorable ones,


Much work has been done lately, food to Corsairs shipped and mouths feed:

Thursday 11.11.821

I met a Hogosha Association transport on my way to Omicron Gamma and both of us decided to team up and head there together. Sometime later we reached Planet Crete and offered our cargos filled with Kyushu Rice and Rum to Corsairs which graciously accepted and gave us in return some of their sorted and unsorted artifacts. The Artifacts were sold on Kabukicho Depot[1], [2].

________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Monday 29.12.821

First thing of the day was to transport more Kyushu Rice to Planet Crete along with returning with Artifacts back to Kusari to sell on Kabukicho Depot. Another shipment of Kyushu Rice was transported to Planet Crete today, though I stayed there for the night.

________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Tuesday 30.12.821

On the way back to Kusari I decided to take a detour through mineral rich Omega systems and make some lucrative deal to purchase some ores. And I made it. Managed to get my self both Silver and Copper ore. After feeling lucky I made my way back to Kusari. On the way through Sigma-13 system I met this interesting Corsair from The Brotherhood. He was on a mission to build a brothel and fill it with woman and unlike other passers there only asked me for a donation instead of usual extortion at gun point. I figured that this would turn out well one day so I sent him 25 millions to help him in his mission. I do hope he completes it. After finally reaching Narita Outpost, I sold my ores on it and called it a day.

Wednesday 3.1.822

First but not the last transportation mission to Planet Crete. As usual I was on my way to the planet through Omicron Gamma system when, on the way there, I encountered a large group of Corsairs of various names. They seemed to be doing something thought I didn't stick there for long to find out. I learnt that one should stick his nose into others people's business the hard way. They halted me for a few moments for a cargo inspection and told me to proceed to the planet and sell them the Kyushu Rice. One the way back to Sigma systems one of the probably high commanding figures ordered two of his vessels to escort my ship. I was very surprised by this act and very pleased by the shown respect.

Konnichiwa honorable Directors of Great Samura Keiretsu,

With the new business deals on the horizon I was volunteered for participation in completing the Peregrine venture. It seamed like an interesting station to go to and made some profits. I hired one of our Shinkaku miners and requested a cargo load of Raw Hydrocarbons to be mined for me. Very soon Samura|-Rabaul did it's job and I was on my way to Peregrine Spaceport where I sold all my cargo in exchange for various commodities of different origin [1], [2]. With cargo filled with all sorts of different articles I made my way to New Tokyo Planet to enjoy the fruits of successful business deal.

Konnichiwa,

Hoshiko Minamimoto here. Today I've decided to take my leave on Planet New Tokyo. There's a concert of my favorite band in one of the cities and I really want to be there. I took my Anki out of Shiojiri and while I was on my way to the jump gate, I picked up three unknown contacts. The ships belonged to a company affiliated with Interspace... the name was Knight Industries or something like that. I scanned their cargo holds and it looks they've been shipping furs out of Tomioka... lots of them. Good thing there are no Gaians in Kusari. They would be very angry, I guess. Also, from the pilots I learned they have been attacked by Gallic Royal Navy while they were in Bretonia. I guess that shouldn't surprise us. Another thing, they seemed fairly well defended, having a gunboat escort and they even said something about bringing a second escort ship for the next run.

Oh, I almost forgot about this. Mister Okura said he'd like to keep an eye on his Akegata and its crew. He joined them on a few runs and I believe he was heading to Rheinland. He asked me to send a file for him. It's below, in the attachment.

Well, that's all. If the information is of any use I'll feel useful.

Arigato,
Hoshiko Minamimoto

You are hereby instructed to transport 30.000 units of Optronic Arrays to station called Diamanten Vorposten. Report here with visual evidence of delivery upon selling the materials to station quartermaster. That would be all.

Konnichiwa,

Looks like I'm the first to work on this new contract.

Shipping manifest

4008 units of Optronic Arrays from Planet Honshu to Diamanten Vorposten

The crew needed rest so we didn't continue the route. Oh and these guys do have a large variety of goods that can be imported to Kusari... a bit expensive for my taste but... I suggest bringing back uncut diamonds. After all, their name is connected to diamonds.

Konnichiwa honorable ones,

Due to large amounts of Platinum ore on Shiojiri Storage Depot I have been tasked to, using our experimental supertransport, transport large amount of it to New Berlin system and Planet New Berlin. During my few days of flight to Rheinland I was accompanied by brave pilots of Hogosha Association which escorted me to my destination without a scratch. The cargo was offloaded and we moved the ship to the near by Breuninger Station and transferred an equal amount of Silver, Cobalt and Copper ore.

The flight back to Kusari was equally long as the first one and the countless rocks, exploding gas pocket clouds and constant threat of pirates hasn't made our lives easier. In the end we reached Narita Outpost and delivered our cargo safely.

For any future possible large scale contract our ship is currently stationed at Yokohama Shipyard.

Arigato,
Hiroto Matsuyama

Konnichiwa honorable ones,

Two daily reports mostly related to business deal in Koeln system:

Wednesday 1.4.821

As per contract request I have first delivered one cargo load of Optronic Arrays to Diamanten Vorposten in Koeln system. There I met a fellow captain Tekkan Okura of the Samura|-Kosaku. Together we bought Silver ore on that station, returned to Kusari and sold it on Narita Outpost [1], [2]. Later that day two of us completed another run of Optronic Arrays to Diamanten Vorposten [1], [2]. The price of Silver ore was to high to buy it again on that station so we made our way to Omega-7 and Reutlingen Storage Facility, bought the ore there and went back to Kusari. Silver was sold on Narita Outpost. [1], [2].

________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Thursday 2.4.822

Today we formed up four transport convoy, tree Samura Akegatas and one Hogosha Association Akegata and headed to Koeln with Optronic Arrays in our holds. We would have almost arrived there safely if there wasn't one member of Bundschuh on a Waran bomber disrupting the lanes in Frankfurt. He took us 6 millions and let us go on our way. Optronic Arrays were sold on Diamanten Vorposten [1], [2], [3], [4]. While we headed back to Kusari with holds filled with Kruger ore from Reutlingen Storage Facility captain Mia on Samura|-Doragon stayed behind in Koeln system to finish up some of her affairs I would guess. Silver was sold on Narita while Hogosha transport [HA]-Tb|Kujira-maru went to Roppongi Station to sell the Uncut Diamonds.
