Attention TransDiv Captains;
Ageira Technologies recently signed a new contract with Samura Heavy Industries to supply their operations on Planet Kurile, in the Sigma-17 system, with Neon gas from our production facilities on Planet Erie.
This is a time-sensitive contract: we are required to deliver 35,000 units of Neon, at a minimum of 10,000 units per week. Therefore, we have agreed to complete the contract within three weeks, starting today.
All deliveries should be recorded on this channel. All captains should provide evidence of their cargo at pickup (Erie) and delivery (Kurile), with a time-stamp recording.
In order to maximise trade profits, we recommend you take the following route:
Quote:> Gate/Lane Parts to Trenton Station, New York
> Mining Machinery to Planet Erie, Pennsylvania
> Neon to Planet Kurile, Sigma-17 (go via Kusari: Honshu, Sigma-19, Sigma-17)
> Alien Organisms to California Minor, California *
> Spaceship Crew to Planet Los Angeles
> Optical Chips to Newark Station, New York
> Robotic Components to Pueblo Station, Colorado
*NB: Alien Organisms are highly perishable. Do not delay!
Bear in mind that we are receiving an extra 600 credits per unit of Neon we deliver. A large cut of these profits will be redistributed to participating Transport Captains.
Please do not hesitate to ask questions, should you have any.

Subject: "Terror" sent in for troubleshooting, repair
To whom it may concern,
Ever since I have piloted the "Terror", I have been having problems initiating docking sequences with jump gates throughout the system. This problem takes away from the efficiency of my deliveries and could possibly make me a "sitting duck" when encountering hostiles. To make sure I can operate as safe as possible, I have taken the "Terror" to the Duluth Station in Minnesota to undergo troubleshooting to hopefully find the problem and to get it fixed.
I looked through the paperwork attached to the bill of sale and this is an issue covered by the ship's warranty. I spoke with the mechanics and they said they'll need 2-4 working days to be able to search through its entirety. Any simple issues can be solved in a timely matter, but if there are major issues it could take up to 2 weeks. Great time for such work considering our time sensitive contract.
I contacted a local shuttle service, they won't be able to get me back to Pueblo for another 12 hours, so it looks like I'm done for the day.
I would like to take command of the "Black Butte" till the "Terror" is available. Please submit the paperwork to the Ageira Shipyard to get this request in motion. I will sign the appropriate forms upon arrival to Pueblo this evening.
Thank you,
Jace Mattews
Captain Ageira|Terror

Ageira Command,
In da Pueblo space, I met a freelance trader, ship name "Freelancer_Alpha_4-1" who was wantin' to ship some Gate/Lane parts. I tolds him he needed da right ID to haul them. He complied afta a shot wit my SNAC, return'd da parts. Before he hit da lane to leave, the threatened he'd be back wit some friends.
'Bout 30 minutes later, tough guy "Freelancer_Alpha_4-1" was back wit two friends, "Milo" an' "Percussion.Gun"".
"Freelancer_Alpha_4-1" docked wit Pueblo an' picked up another load of G/L parts. I engaged th' smuggler. Dis is when "Milo" an' "Percussion.Gun"" fired on my ship. Dey said if I attacked, dey'd shoot me up.
I had no choice but t' back off. I hate t' let dose tough guys git away, but I couldn't sacrifice my ship. Please add dese jokers t' Ageira's hostile list.
I took da time t' put together an official report attached below.
