Today I was met by a ship named Deep_Nyx, and spoke to a man named Wyvern, who was trying to reach possible new recruits.
After answering some of his questions he told me to contact your trading consortium on this channel.
The Blue Posidon is a BW transport flown by me, and two others. We're more then prepared to trade cargo others might look down upon.
Greetings Kara Wall.
Wyvern, is a fine man, sometimes a bit crazy and tends to drag on, but he seems to have a fine taste in finding more allies or recruits.
We don't look down upon cargo, cargo is cargo.
The Blue Posidon, I like the name.
Tell me what you wish to share.

Well, How interesting...
New recruits Hmm, Ah, I'll have to toss wyvern a little thank you..
Also, Pleased to meet you Kara Wall, I am Thanatos, ship named Deep_Scarlet, An Elder.
Now... Indeed, i'd be nice to have an ally..or a new member/recruit.
If you are interested as joining as a member... we'd be more than willing to explain the
procedures and helping you out.
I hope to hear more from you.
Perfect.
We have finished the plan "Corsair Food Supply".
We have supplied the Corsair with over 75.000 metric tons of Food Rations which will provide enough food for a while.
This should... "please" them.
We have discovered that our, Pilgrim , Elder ships are able to pack a rather big punch.
This has revealed an interesting aspect for our trading runs.
It seem that we have underestimated the hull integrity of our ships we will have to seek every advantage we can get, it will prove vital for our success.
Thanatos and Alex we will have to seek out more recruits and be open to allies who are in need of us and may support us.
I'd love to join a group of people so passionate about the freedoms we're entitled by our rights as human beings. Any rules, procedures and initiation tasks I must preform can all be sent to my private channel.

Captan Reuben reporting.
As Jules has stated, the Corsairs have been supplied with large amounts of food, and I believe we are well on our way to accomplishing our objective.
I would like to say a hearty hello to Kara Wall, and 'tis nice to see a new face. I hope that we do indeed have a new ally or a new member.
After hearing Jules' statement about the hull integrity of his ship, I had to laugh a little as I know what he and several others of our faction were doing with their ships. Suffice to say it involved a rather large ball of superheated gases.
That's all for now, I intend to run a few &%*(::)ERROR: MESSAGE FAILIURE:NO CARRIER:RESPONSE:RUN<REBOOT>:SUCCESS
Uh, ignore that.

If nothing is worth fighting for, then why are you fighting?
Are you brave?
Stupid?
Or do you simply fight because you have nothing better to do?
We need to reestablish contact with Kara Wall.
Mario will need his ID and IFF and will have to install his Galactic Communication Aray Transmitter or a device of some sort to communicate here if he wishes to become a Medium Echelon Member.
I would also require that Alex updates his communication array, we have spoken about this, after the updates are applied you are expected to transmit more on this channel.
We will log the Corsair Food Supply here, so any relevant data on that matter wil be submitted here and organized.
You will make a report of the Corsair Food Supply.
We will now pick our path, shall we find more recruits or shall we enter the diplomatic mission for which we will require the Probe or a other objective.
Suggestion will required, from all of you.
Will we need a Escort supervisor or shall we leave this task to the Elders and High Echelon members as it is now.
Sorry, this ship's obviously a bit old, had to give it a couple of knocks. Got my Combat Service Freighter, finally, everything's up and running, to a certain extent, but it could use a refit. I'll get on that tomorrow. If anyone could recommend me a good place to pick up some guns for it, that'll be great.
Hopefully, if I'll get my first convoy trip tomorrow, if not it'll be with-in the next few days.

Well, had a rather interesting time today. Starting off with the combat training, Jules contacted one of his LSF contacts and gave us a lesson in fighting battlecruisers. Second, Commander Alex, in the Deep Cyan, and I took some superconducters over to Omicron Gamma. The next part is encrypted.
Right, here goes. We made an artifact run through to Manhattan. While this may seem normal for us Junkers, what was waiting in Alaska was entirely unexpected.
I popped through ahead of Alex, only to be confronted by a freaking Nomad BATTLESHIP. Accompanied by a swarm of fighters, the thing literally tore outta nowhere and started firing. After a slight yelling and praying session over S-KYP3 comms, I took evasive action. With some rather skilful piloting on my part, the Goat was able to dodge most of the blasts, and easily evaded it. The larger Cyan had a harder time, but still managed to escape with hull integrity uncompromised.
After that scare, we were promptly jumped by a swarm of Navy and LSF fighters. We shook them off however, and successfully reached Manhattan.
:::ENCRYPTION END:::
Well, on a side note, we ran into a rather peculiar person who seemed to want to "trade" ship hull parts for our superconductors. After firmly telling him no, he persisted, and was eventually threatened with destruction. Evidently panicking, he opened fire on the Cyan, and was promptly vaporised. He threatened us with some friends of his, and I promptly informed him that the Junkers, and indeed, the Deep Trading Consortium, do not tolerate fools.
Comm log evidence is below.
I suggest that this fellow be banned from trading with the Deep Trading Consortium, and placed on a Kill-On-Sight notice for our escort pilots. For all we know, he could be a sneaky pirate.
Another slightly odd thing that happened was a pilot in New York, shortly after the events in the encrypted message.
Comm log evidence.
On a last note, I would like to inform Kara Wall that, if you ever need a trading partner, just open a private channel over the neural-net, and I'll get your comm tag linked up to mine so we can co-ordinate trading runs.
Right, that's all from this spacer. Don't drink too much synth-caffeine.
