Convoy Information:
We picked up gold from Graves station in Dublin and met up at planet Cambridge before we headed off to Ausburg in Munich. Once there we dropped the gold off and picked up some Cigars for the way back, to planet New london.
Convoy Incidents:
A pair of bombers tried pirating us, but both them and us realized that we would have little trouble in taking them on, so they fled.

Convoy Information:
"Berylium Ore was picked up from Kings Cross and taken to Planet Pittsburg in New York. For the return trip we took Boron to Thames, where we picked up Basic Alloys from Planet New London for Scarborough Station before running Scrap Metals to Southampton Shipyard"
Convoy Incidents:
"Upon RVing outside Canterbury Station (with the exception of David Rye and Toby Cumberbatch) a disgruntled Gateway employee by the codename "antibowex". He was rather upset by an encounter he had with John Supreme which did not go as he had planned. After he shared a few upset messages ending with
Quote:"now you know your real ennemy"
, he docked upon Kensington and we continued on our way. Our pleasant trip was halted at Riverside Station, California (no suprises there). It was here that a Liberty Rogue under the codename of "LR-Baby.Barghie" decided to pirate the lane in his Light Fighter. After a short firefight we disengaged as the Rogue left under the watchful eye of "LNS-Forward.Unto". Sadly the Rogue changed craft and returned to chase us in his craft "LR-Honest.Mistake" through the Jumpgate into New York. Sadly it was at this point that mysterious distortions meteorological societies call Inter-Dimensional Time Warping, or Latent Actualistion of Gorging through time (LAG) started to affect the BES Turing and this resulted in the Hull integrity of the Turing deteriorating without warning, consistency, predictability or in a saveable manner. Dision Abys declared an abandon ship order and the crew left the vessel via escape pods moments before the craft suffered catastrophic decompression due to the Time Warped affected weaponry of the "LR-Honest.Mistake". However some wonderful news can be gleamed from this as the pods were recovered and a medical check found no ill affects hindering the crew. Following this incident the Convoy made it safely to Planet Pittsburg. There we sold the Berylium and purchased Boron. Mr. Wellington sadly informed us he had an urgent matter to attend to and would not be returning with us to Bretonia. It was at this time that David Rye arrived to assist Hans Liljefors with the escorting duties on the return trip. From here on there were no significant obstructions till New London where Liljefors took some leave and Mr. Cumberbatch joined us for the trip to Scarborough Station."
Other Notes:
"It appears it is a difficult time for Meteorological Societies with increasing astrological anomalies, maybe there is a link with time and space jumping technologies having recently become more widely available."

Internal Memo:
This is an update for all active spacefaring staff. Following a recent visit to the Okinawa system, a drive has been made to re-establish ties with the GMG. In light of this, management will be reactivating our trade initiatives within the area. The GMG have broadcast docking access codes to Okinawa's Fuxyueru Trade Hub and Shuri Base to all Bowex employees as a result.
Helium 3 gas is sold aboard these installations for $3,750 and $3,500 respectively. The gas can be exported directly to Southampton Shipyard in New London for an excess of $10,000 per unit. BMM is currently investigating engine efficiency advances, and requires large batches of crude gas in order to stress test new prototypes - or so I am told.
In any case, more fuel is never a bad thing, and the demand will always be there. Rest assured that this particular state contract won't be running dry any time soon. My own personal suggestion would be to link Helium exports to ore import runs into Rheinland. This should secure high profit margins for both legs of your trip.

To: All Bowex personnel. From: DO Cromwell. RE: Promotions.
Once more the time has come to look to ourselves, to our actions and to our profit margins and ask the question - do I deserve a raise? It can certainly be said that the individuals below have most thoroughly earned their own promotions and accolades. It is with great pleasure that I can announce Bowex's latest intake of full-contract Employees, and inductees to managerial and executive level command.

Mark Sanders: For outstanding performance across the board, you receive an immediate promotion to Supervisor. Be aware that with this step into junior-management comes great responsibility, including but not limited to; convoy management, and station supervisory control. You will find your security clearance has been upgraded, and your passcards now give you access to the manager's lounges on Lancaster Trade Station and King's Cross.
James Barnes: The Board of Directors convened a short period ago to discuss the appointment of a new Director of Trade - a position that has remained vacant since its occupation by Sir Andrew Maloney. After several candidates were evaluated, a unanimous vote awarded the position of Director of the Trade Combine to Mr Barnes. This position serves to highlight a truly exceptional individual, possessing the traits and drive that makes for the very essence of a successful Bretonian. This appointment will give Mr Barnes ultimate oversight of the Trade Combine, including the powers to recruit, dismiss and promote within the department. This appointment will also result in his induction to the Board of Directors.

Convoy Information: Right we managed to finish the Weaponsplatform that was in construction at first I had my difficulties getting a hand with the Storagecontrol and the worker though that just was early on.
Now if all went right the Platform should already be set up.
Convoy Incidents:
A Council Cruiser asked us what we where doing in Roussilion. After some time he told us that we wheren't on the permitlist and that they never made a contract with us.
That got me by suprise to be honest but to our luck it seemed that they found the contract again and let us go our way.

Convoy Information:
"Berylium Ore was picked up from Kings Cross and taken to Dortmund Station in New Berlin. For the return trip we took Engine Components from Oder Shipyard to Southampton Shipyard"
Convoy Incidents:
"Upon RVing outside Planet Cambridge (with the exception of our two ExSec pilots, who were presently busy with other duties) we proceeded to Snowdown (Omega 3) where a Corsair by the codename "Minotauro.Gomez." stopped us where after discussions a final demand of nine million credits for the three of us was agreed upon and paid. The remaining trip to Dortmund was uneventful. It was at this point (while we filled up on Engine Components) that Mr. Peters and Mr. Rowser connected to the secure communications channels and proceeded to head towards New Berlin. Having taken loads of Engine Components the three trade vessels departed New Berlin's orbit and meet up with the ExSec escorts in Stuttgart. It was here that I collected 1000 units of Fertilizers ordered by the Cambridge Royal Conservation Society. The return trip to Bretonia went without a hitch and after a slight stop on Planet Cambridge we proceeded to Southampton Shipyard."
Other Notes:
"The BES Baird suffered concerning problems with the shield and inter-ship communications units. Despite a proposal from Mr. O'Farrell that it was 'a Molly saboteur' these claims were denied by Mr. Red and Mr. Peters followed this up by stating "I'm sure KC's crew would notice a drunk saboteur during maintnance!" (sic). The BES Baird was subsequently delivered to the maintenance department upon the conclusion of the convoy."
I took a full load of Scrap Metal from Scarborough and managed to get them to Lepzing station.Dresden.,and from there I took another load of High-Temperature Alloy back to Scarborough.
Finally I loaded Industrial Materials from Lancaster and supplied King's Cross with them.
Incidents: Though arriving to leeds--Holding High-Temperature Alloy--While a Gallic invasion was on I didn't face any problems getting my cargo to it's destination.
Other notes: None that are important to get mentioned here.

Good day Mr Farbridge,
I am contacting you to inform you about a recent incident, one which has caused me to raise concerns about the security of the company and our employees. On the 20th August 819 A.S., I was contacted by a man calling himself Koala Mayant, who had hacked his way into our communication channels, and seems to be responsible for previous security issues aboard the BES Baird.
In the following conversation with Mr Charles Red, they appeared to be arguing about a necklace Mr Red was carrying at that time, one the intruder seemed most interested in. Mr Mayant's behaviour suggested he had met Mr Red before, who confirmed this later. I have asked Mr Red to write a report about the incident. You will find said report attached at the end of this message. Rest assured the affected communication devices have been checked and additional security solutions have been installed.
I estimate Mr Mayant to be mentally unstable, his risk potential remains unknown, however it is not to be ignored. With several implied death threats from his side, I suggest informing the BPA about it as soon as possible. With our valued Director of ExSec being unavailable, I trust you to will take appropriate measures to ensure the safety of our employees.

Afternoon lad,
I've forwarded your report to all fleet security officers on board of trade combine vessels. The security fleet will have to look out for his callsign and I'll get on the BPA's case to look out for this person.
