That was you, lad!
I did no such thing! Bellock's underwear could bring a man back from death, I'm pretty sure that would have sobered me up.

To: Bowex InfoNet From: Acting DO, Sir James Cromwell. RE: New contracts.
New contracts have been struck with three different organisations. Bowex requires these orders be filled promptly. They are listed below in order of urgency. Your Supervisors and Managers will be organising convoys to fulfil these orders. Participation in completing this contracts will be noted on your personal conduct records. Failure to do so will similarly be noted. These records help determine who receives promotions and pay-rises, ladies and gentlemen. I suggest you do not disappoint me.
1) The GMG's H-Fuel Contract: Previously, RepEx and Kishiro had an exclusive shipping deal with the GMG, in regards to distributing their H-Fuel produce. It appears these sources have been rightfully revealed as inadequate. The GMG have opened a contract with Bowex for the import and export of cargo. Ship captains will be rewarded based on the quantity of cargo delivered: the more you work, the more you earn. This contract renews monthly. Deliveries are to be reported in the linked GMG contract channel.
Imported Cargo: 25,000 units of Synth Paste. 25,000 units of Mining Machinery. Exported Cargo: 50,000 units of H-Fuel. Destination:
2) The BHG Core's Supply Contract: After our successful scouting mission to the Omicron Delta system, the organisation known as the BHG Core contacted us, requesting a number of goods. In exchange, they are granting us and BMM unlimited access to the raw Iridium fields around their installations and protection within their territory. Do not leave the 'Foreign Sector' of Dabadoru Fortress, under any circumstances. Ship captains will be rewarded based on the quantity of cargo delivered: the more you work, the more you earn. This contract is a one-time deal. Deliveries are to be reported in the linked Core contract channel.
Imported Cargo: 8,000 units of Basic Alloy. 500 units of Engine Components. 2,000 units of High Temperature Alloy. 150 units of Mining Machinery. 1,250 units of Nano-Capacitors. 200 units of Optronics. 2,000 tons of Polymers. 300 units of Quantum Multiplexors. 1,500 units of Robotic Components. 1,500 tons of Super Alloy. 800 units of Superconductors. 10,000 units of Terraforming Gasses. Exported Cargo: None specified (Iridium).
2) Daumann's Genesis Contract: After RepEx defaulted on the contract, Daumann has turned over the contract for the delivery of Basic Alloy to Planet Holstein to Bowex. The material will be used for construction projects all over the planet; building new infrastructure and colonies, I believe. We have a vested interested in seeing this project completed, due to the fact that it is a prime destination for Bretonian refugees. A second contract for Super Alloy is in negotiation. Ship captains will be rewarded based on the quantity of cargo delivered: the more you work, the more you earn. This contract is a one-time deal. Deliveries are to be reported in the linked Daumann contract channel.
Imported Cargo: 80,000 units of Basic Alloy. Exported Cargo: None specified.
These contracts are to be completed poste haste. The captain who delivers the most cargo in regards to each of these contracts can expect a further 10 million credit bonus paid to their personal accounts to be divided between themselves and their crew. That is a total sum of 30 million credits open for the taking. This is of course in addition to the payments per-unit entitled to you for deliveries.
In many cases, payment will be transferred once the contract is completed. That's an incentive to work quickly, is it not?
Seeing as we have plenty of work to do, I have decided it was time for me to commision a new ship. Seeing as our Shires are doing quite well in the pirate burning bussiness, I've decided to get one as well. I found an oldie on Scarborough in the docks. She was sitting there gathering dust. So unbefitting. So I had her rigged out for <strike>zoner killing </strike> pirate maiming.
I christened it the Zoner Slayer. But then I got complaints from above. So now She's known as the Sassoon.
I'll be trying her out fairly fast on her maiden voyage.

To: All Bowex personnel. From: Acting DO Cromwell. RE: Deliveries and promotions.
I would just like to congratulate those of you who have participated in the Firm's recent contract deliveries. Bowex has proven itself to be a hard working, efficient and stalwart supplier - this month's GMG contract was completed within 4 days, while the Basic Alloy contingent of the DHC contract was completed within 5 days.
Well done, indeed. Our Super Alloy contract with DHC is now to be focused on. Once that is complete, we can once again fulfil our monthly obligations to the Gas Miner's Guild. Employees are not advised to attempt the BHG Core contract without ExSec or convoy support - needless to say, a convoy is being arranged.
The owed sums for our Basic Alloy contract to each participating ship's accounts are as follows:
RECEIPT:
BES Johnson: $41,800,000
BES Firbolg: $25,200,000
BES Caxton: $12,560,000
BES Whittle: $4,180,000
Furthermore, I see fit to bequeath several more promotions and commendations in light of recent activities.
Johnathan Brighton: For professional conduct, your contract has been confirmed. Your probationary contract is to receive an immediate promotion to full Employee. You are also to receive a Manager's Commendation for your ceaseless work with the GMG. Continue your good work within the Trade Combine and you shall go far.
Charles O'Callaghan: For professional conduct and tireless effort, you have received a Manager's Commendation for your work with DHC. Continue your good work within the Trade Combine and you shall go far.
Andrew Peterson: For professional conduct and tireless effort, you have received a Manager's Commendation for your work with DHC.
Back-payments for contract deliveries will dispatched shortly. Further rewards will be bestowed upon those who demonstrate the grit and determination required to do what we do well. Ladies and gentlemen, follow in the stead of the three individuals named above, and we'll have won the war by Christmas.
Well hello there.
A lot of new faces and some ol'bastards still trucking, its good to see you'll out there. Last night been part of once a epic show of bowex power over the lanes. Yes my friends we ruled the lanes. Last night the Bes-Woodford was part of one of those epic convoys fullfilling a contract with Daumann. There was not much action maybe a lot of pirates know what our convoys can do to them iff they are in our way!!
Altough some of you may have taken some lessons in how to dock a shire cargoship in the lane, myself and my crew had a good time.
It seems we flew the only massive shetland but we felt pretty protected by those four shires, they brought a total of fourty-eight guns and those two young bounty hunters from i believe Defense] who provided splendid escort, there was not much our twenty year old plasma trower could do when we would run in trouble.
After arrival and fast offload we had a splendid night at one of the bars on planet Nuremburg.

Man what a night!? Next time we do a convoy I am not playing the Snaps drinking game or is it called Schnapps?!?
It was nice of the Daumann guys to put on a Spanferkel roast to celebrate the completion of the Super Alloy shipments.
Shame I missed on being part of the convoy for most of the trip. My navigation computer blew a circuit so we were delayed leaving Scarborough Station; fortunately I knew some short cuts and because the convoy and the escorts seemed to be scaring everybody off I had an easy run through the Omega's and Stuttgart.
I caught the BES Johnson up at Frankfurt; she was listing badly, but Mr Peterson said he had it all under control.
I rendezvoused with the rest of the convoy just outside the Nuremburg system and the Johnson caught us up we triumphantly entered the system!

To: All Bowex personnel. From: Acting DO Cromwell. RE: A sad loss.
It is with great sadness that I inform you all that Lord Sussex Sir Nathan Keevan, passed away at his Cambridge estate late last night. Lord Keevan had been struggling with illness for the last few years of his life, a fact that Cryer drugs could do little to remedy due to his advanced age of 94.
Lord Keevan served with distinction on Bowex's Board of Directors for 30 years, before retiring in 798 AS. He advised many great Directors, and was a truly noble man. The legacy of his work lives on to this very day, manifesting through a number of industry altering initiatives, and DO Sir William Burke's system of reforms.
In a touching final gesture, he kindly bequeathed a portion of his wealth and assets to the Bowex corporation, in acknowledgement of his service with us. Bowex intends to fully honour his memory through word and deed. A Church of Bretonia memorial service will be hosted on Lancaster this Friday. A multi-faith service will also be held on the station the next day.
This is a sad day for Bowex, and a terrible loss for Bretonia as a whole.
This is Johnathan Brighton, currently operating the Shire Transport Caxton in Rheinland. I've encountered an... Uhhh... An unusual situation. I was stopped in New Berlin by a group identifying themselves as "Rorry's Renegades" who were about to threaten my life until they noticed my corporate identification. They demanded that I report this to someone higher up and then sent me on my way. They also claimed they are in negotiations with the company, though I am unsure why we would deal with such scum.
I am rather shocked, but honestly not sure what's going on.
