Good day,
Continued operations have resulted in a further five (5) full deliveries of raw hydrocarbons to Fortitudine. Processed data has been attached below for review.
The Tea & Pee seems to be full of bragging miners with stories of how they can fill their vessels within five minutes, but unless there's something in the tea I can't fathom how! Hard work brings home the bacon, however, tiring as it may be. Until next time.

Wise words Mr. Sarand, wise words! Perhaps they will take your hard work as a model. They tell me that "5 minutes to fill a Hegemon story" nearly every day and stay at Tea & Pee for another day. Perhaps we should limit the alcoholics or should dismiss the pretty barmaids.

Erm... I protest ! No Barmaids could severely hamper the motivation of the miners, my Lord.
Except perhaps if you switch to very - exotic - tea variations being served, and that´s not the sort of work I´d ´preciate.
Oh, and if you limit the alcoholics after shift its like letting of the oil from a smoothely working machine.
Never change a working system, eh ?
After all, its not every day you see two Hegemons running a head - to - head race, my Lord .
*smiles over to Sarand*
It turns out my earlier curiosity was answered, however; it seems Fortitudine cannot store further materials. Perhaps mining operations to this extent weren't anticipated - but at least the supply is now there ready for shipping contractors to move.
I am sorry as our core 3 upgrade is not yet accepted (2 months) by the authorities, we suffer soem storage problems at the moment. We had to find a good solution between repairs, supplies and storage for ore. So, as I did not expect you working that hard, you were able to reach that maximum sir.
I hope we can start with the construction of another storage module soon. Immediately after the core 3.
On perhaps a more important note, it appears that the heavy operations here are beginning to draw attention. A Gaian pilot came across me this morning and was nary too pleased to learn of BMF and the mining processes taking place here - it seems we are in extreme proximity to Holmfirth, a Gaian stronghold. She allowed me to continue work for a minor fee - or else seize operations for the time being - but she made clear that we are an unwelcome presence and that the Gaians will be unlikely to stand us for long.
Let this be a caution to all ships working in proximity of Fortitudine; it is not a friendly area. I can only hope my life is not in danger as I work. I can only presume that the frequency of these.. "encounters" will increase in the near future.
David walks up to the Notice Board and the BMF Fortitudine Ore Delivery list for June catches his eye. He decides to stop and study who is the so called best Miners at Fortitudine.
1. 40650 - Alexander Sarand
2. 29.810 - Fortinbras_the_Miner
3. 2740 - James Fletcher
After reading the list he turns away muttering 'mere amateurs' as he sees that none of them are even close to his 64k mined this month. He heads to the Tea and Pee Bar where he orders a cup of coffee whilst contemplating his next shift at mining.
Good you found this area in the neural net.
I know you are possibly to be the leading and fastest miner at Fortitudine and you really should compete here with the other miners.
What do you think about that?
It is very sad that there is no ... hm I do not want to name it "proof" ..... of your excellence.
But some kind of evidence is needed to be able to guarantee a fair and reproducible competition.
Perhaps you can train our new miners to enhance and improve their skills too.
I hope we will meet again soon sir!
