Today me and my crew were docked on California Minor, when one of those chaps from the terraforming site asked us if we could fill in for one of the shipping vessels, which was apparently blown to pieces by pirates just a week ago. We asked what the pay was, and he said it'd be just over 3000 credits a unit both ways, taking FlorGro to Sigma-17, then Alien Organisms back to California minor, for the terraforming. Well, I thought that sounded a decent deal, so I took it.
We've already started the job, which should only last one week.
Naturally, I'll keep you informed about our progress on the project.
Yours Faithfully,
Percival Sanders
Well, That is appreciable but can you provide us the detail of the person who contacted you, so that we can check this isn't a trap to spoil the reputation of Gateway Shipping Inc.,

I'll start by detailing the em...details of the person.
Name: David Burgess
Occupation: Chief of operations at terraforming site C-78
We went on to the research station in the sigmas, and the chief of operations there confirmed this.
Aside from that, we completed two runs for David, before we set down on Cali minor and had a rest.
That's all!

Got a message from GMG base Aomori in Honshu, that they are in need of MOX. So I thought of delegating this work to an employee, but after a brief thought I decided to use my vessel to transport MOX.
It was after a long time I am flying in the sky with my darling ship "Shishapangma" , I wanted it to a good journey so I took titanium to ALG's base Wuppertal Refinery in Koeln and from there I loaded my cargo with MOX and headed towards Honshu. And my ship's pilot Patrick Waites handled the ship like anything.
After delivering the MOX to Aomori station, I saw an Gateway Shipping Employee Percival Sanders who was the captain of the ship Gateway|-GSV-Vermilion, He was there for some contract, and we meet an GMG in Okinawa who offered us Helium-3 ores.
We got the ores filled in our cargo hold and departed from there to Southampton shipyard in New London.

Well I was been ordered to bring Quantum Multiplexors from the Samura base in Rishiri, which is close to the Gallia territory, well we can call it the border world to Gallia, It was a risky one since I was flying Shetland with no Escort.
Well I Reached there via Tau, since I was asked to meet an IMG member in the Java station to get the exact sector of the base in Rishiri. But unfortunately he was left to Falkland, I followed him to Falkland and got the exact location of the Samura base "Misaki Station". I went to Nango and then to Rishiri, it was a quite hard one because the Samura didn't like my presence there. I moved out of there as Quickly as possible, I was wondering how did they Samura didn't bothered about supplying the Quantum Multiplexors to Bretonia.
But Nonetheless I returned from there to Caernarfon Station. And I was happy that after a long time I came to my Home space, but again there was another job waiting for me in the Caernarfon Station, which is that the GMG was in requirement of Fluorine gas. Hence again I started from Caernarfon station to Methyr-Tydfill Mining station and collected the Fluorine gas to Planet Miura in Okinawa, the journey went very well except that Kruger Minerals, they are considering Gateway Shipping Inc, as an Unfriendly organization. Thank goodness I was having an good reputation with the Rheinland Military and Police. And Finally I'm currently in Okinawa also I'm have forwarded a Recreation message to the management. Hope the Management received the message.

.....so is this thing on? Good. Well, I've managed to make a full recovery from that incident a few months ago, and hope to be back out in space soon. Time to get things rolling again.
We are putting together preliminary plans for Operation: Christma$ Miracle. We've been hearing rumors that Gateway isn't sympathetic enough to the plight of the Bretonian people, and is just a money-grubbing organization. Well, this little PR stunt should prove all those pudd-whackers in the media wrong, as well as those whiny pukes in the Parliament.
Ships and supplies will begin muster at =ENCRYPTED= in the Cortez system.
So, finally, my week on the route is over. I completed a total of 10 shipments, and Mr Burgess is very grateful (though I received no bonus from the ungrateful sod)
Anyway, I think I'll go back to my ore runs for now.
Ta-ta-for-now,
Percival Sanders.
Well it is nice to hear that Mr.Burgess is happy with your work, but Mr. Percival Sanders your crew's paper work is still pending, would you like to discuss this with me in my office with a cup of tea? I hope you like to have tea.

It's alright, I'll list the reports now. Not much happened really.
Day 1: I think I've done that report.
Day 2: Managed to complete 2 runs to the Sigma's and back. Had a little engine trouble in Kepler, but we had it fixed in about 3 hours.
Day 3: Completed 2 runs again to the Sigma's and back. Engine trouble started again, but we managed to dock before it fell off.
Day 4: Put the engine back onto our tanker. Then completed another run to the Sigma's and back.
Day 5: Attacked by a pirate in New York. EMP pulses fried our memory circuits, so I was unable to retrieve the attackers ID. We made it to planet Manhatten for minor repairs, then went on and finished one route to the Sigma's and back.
Day 6: Notified by Mr.Burgess that after tomorrow their new ship would arrive. We set off through Rheinland this time, but we narrowly missed being spotted by those Jaeger chaps. One run completed.
Day 7: Set off on our last run. Thruster jammed and needs looking at still. The route went clear and well, apart from when the thruster jammed, and I dropped my tea! Went to the bar on California minor after that.
Now, looking back, I realize that Vermilion does seem to be falling apart somewhat. May need to invest into a new vessel with engines that work.
Well, that's it I suppose. Not that interesting, unless it amuses you to see my ship disintegrating in space.
Ta-ta-for-now,
Percival Sanders.

Well, I had a rough week to be honest, since the management asked me to deliver the Aluminum ore to Southampton for the refining purpose I went to Munich to pick up the Aluminum ore from a DHC miner.
But the deal was fine paid a less amount to the miner as his charge. But the complication was after that, I met an unusual "Gaian-Corsair" El.poco, a weird one, his family is kind of mixed up like a Gaian father and Corsair mother etc. well I paid him 10 million SC, but when I reached Cambridge I thought I'm finally made it, but an Gallic Pirate was asking 20 Million SC, I refused to pay and used my ability to run but finally he ripped my Shield off and then my hull was heavily damaged, I had no other choice of paying. Pirate activity in Cambridge wasn't usual but a Gallic pirate is a thing which need to be taken care of.

I found myself at Planet Los Angeles with time on my hands. I had just completed a diamond run from Solarius and a cargo full of Luxury Goods was itching to take a ride to New London. That was fine with me. I finished off my shrimp tacos and headed shipside. There was an Outcast Tridente in Magellan, so I stopped and gave him a mil out of the goodness of my heart. Poor bums. Kensington did take a while to wire me my advance, though, so he took out about half my shield while I was waiting.
I'm gonna have to start carrying more cash. I blew the last of my pocket change on tacos and beer, the first of which I'm beginning to regret.
As I passed through Magellan I ran by a Council BS which put me in mind of our CEO's idea to begin trade into Rousillon.
I picked up Gin at Planet New London and headed to Cardiff, thinking about trying out some runs to the Council system.
At Cardiff I traded the Gin for Beryllium and headed on to Rheinland. There was little to remark upon during my flight to New Berlin, except I locked myself in the john and began carpet bombing every last pleasant memory I had of Los Angeles. I then took the mains offline and ejected the warp coil. Damn those tacos and their succulent seafood filling!
From New Berlin I hopped over to the Ring and picked up Sidearms which I flew back through Bretonia to Rousillon.
The way there it wasn't so bad. I got through the minefield and on to Battleship Pamiers without a problem. But when I was hauling Hydrogen Cyanide on the return trip through Newcastle a Gallic gunboat and a bunch of GRN snubs attacked me, making it very difficult to successfully reach and dock with a tradelane.
I thrusted away and flew like a crazed dolphin through all those confounded rocks and was able to enter the tradelane and jet away. However, they drained my shield four times and reduced my hull by about a third more than one time.
I made it safely to New Berlin, but this leg of the trip in Newcastle, crossing vicious GRN patrols, turned me off of the idea entirely. I don't think there's enough profit in it to make it worth our while.
So, peaceful skies, fellow traders! Hurry along now, because after that run I'm about to get pissed out of my mind.
