After changing equipment, me (LC Invader) and LC Serenity got formation on LC Scorpius. He led us to LC Pegasus, with a little stop to get LC Mercury on the team.
Mission was to escort LC Pegasus to Omega49 with engine parts. Everything went well to omega49. We had some outcasts and hessians on our tails, but we just ignored them.
In Omega49 i got some technical problems so i had to log off.

Hi Boss since my last report on repair blues, we have made 36 FP-11 runs pluss 16 o-49 to Honshu runs.
At Honshu the ship Inspectors decided to Throw the REDTAPE FULL inspection at me.The fuss started over how offten the Radioactive Tanks should be replaced,things got a bit HUFFY I thertend to call Company Lawer and the Inspector smiled and said "Fine then ill oder a FULL Spaceworthy scan on your ship".
the next thing i know The Mercury is Temp Impounded by Honshu athority and sent to shipyard for a full stress annalisis. 3 days of waiting and 2 meetings with the Lawer I was handed an oder to Retire or Scrap the Mercury or be Banned from Honshu,a thirty day oder with only 3 Honshu stops allowed or Full scan again.
Recently I sent a new ship request Through the Peggasus you approved a tanker try out over the vid phone so I went shopping, and leased a coupple of ships, after 2 test flights I decided to go with the Advanced Train for 3 major resons #1 the Armored Comm dish and nav comp were transferable to train (not comppatable softwere with other systems) #2 my cabin and kingsized bathsuite (once again not commpattable I spent 73k on that head built for a FaTT man that likes his bath tub and sauna)
#3 the tankers both flew and looked like Piggs with thrusters stuck under there Tails...
The new train handels a bit stiff not so nimble as the 3500. series in the astroid fields,and i may return to that series after i runn out the warenty, but for now my crew of 7 and myself are rite at home.
Three days ago I did a Honshu runn with PEGG and the Young Buck security crew, it was a good run only afew mechanical problems with bommer he had to call time out at O-49, Mercury and 1 fighter compleet rt run.
thats my report for January will send next month unless somthing happens you need to loose sleep over.
good day Sir Olaf out

Ps the new Comp security Safegaurds were activated 3 times while Mercury was at shipyard (not the ship system bank but the Company Terminal. so I sent Cristy my Comp Angel to the shipyard Bar to poke around and 2 drunken techs later she found out a Speail Black suit Honshu tech crew was on board and Blew 2 portable Scanners then hooked into repairbay comp for third try and had to lock themselves in the Mercury because the Bay comp Ovrerode the Airlocks.HAHA. They requested A staiton Mainframe link but the staiton commander put his foot down telling them he was NOT going to put 470 crew in spacesuist (incase of airlock misshap) juat so they could poke around in a comp they didnt have WRITEN permission to be scanning in the first place. Ha HA HA (i sent the commander a case of good scotch without any note)..
Lynx and I flew our Bombers and went to New york to look for a escort.We found a trader that wanted a escort his name has Suecider. His cargo had to go to New Berlin so we headed with him to New Berlin. On the way ther e were no pirate except a couple of Rouges and Outcast.We headed back up with him and the same thing just a couple pirates. When we got up there we headed off to California with out the Suecider and looked for pirates.
We found one pirate we told him to leave the system and we escorted him out of California.
Do to the Increesed Pirate activity I felt compelled to hire an escort.

Greetings Boss
I sent you a you p package a few days ago, and was told you recived it good, it is an Old race trophy from my youth, one of 50+space rally wins, these races went from freeport to freeport
Race lengths were 2-5 staitons,
you could use any class of ship, you were willing to bet 5,000 to 500,000$ on,depending on the run
This was race track rules Dont Die, Go Fast, The winner buys the first 3 rounds of drinks.
The mix of racers was, well Mixed, a few corrsairs, zoners,smugglers were the Backers and organizres
The racers were from all over Sirius,if they were at the FP at race time, and set aside there grudges and dislikes, the race was ON.
The racing could get a bit rough, but raerly did anyone die, the idea was to have funn,while Hopping from FP to FP tradeing, smuggilng or just going to the next bar.
Them were good times sir.
I was calling you about something I herd over at Freep........ COMM link Disrupted
I was flying scorpius in California and meet up with Peg to offer escort. Only minutes later while blazing down a trade lane our scanners picked up two LH's. We immeadiatly ejected from the TL and went to cruise. We headed to cortez jump hole and the LH's followed in pursuit. Once we reached the JH local traffic caused a que delay and after our ships appeared in Cortez the LH's were knocking on our shields with threatening guns. At that moment we knew we were caught and Peg paid the pirate tax. Thats when we submitted the LH's names to you to be added to our hostile list. May the LH's hulls rot!
After a few minor repairs we finished our run and met up with Mercury. Our larger convey completed the contract to Honshu. It was a nice ride and no pirates sighted. When we arrived the goods were sold and made a good profit.
