SENDER:Basti Legion, Vorsitzender of SEO LOCATION:Wuppertal Refinery, Köln SUBJECT:Post-battle report ENCRYPTION:High
Guten Tag Kollegen,
While on patrol with my gunboat in New London, Ich met multiple Capital-class ships from the Bretonian Armed Forces. They had multiple reports of Corsairs massing up in Dublin. I joined their fleet into heading there. It's also in our interest to keep Bretonia secure. When the fleets engaged, I supported the fighters first. My main goal was keeping the enemy of their tails. Once the snubs were taken care of, we went to support the capital ships. I managed to give the critical blow to a cruiser after already sustaining lots of damage from a group effort in taking it down.
SENDER:Vincent Proch, Schiffskapitän RECIPIENT:SEO Board of Directors LOCATION:Koepchen Depot, New Berlin System SUBJECT:Completion Dortmund clean-up operations ENCRYPTION:High
Guten tag, meine Damen und Herren.
I am glad to announce that according to estimates by Herr Linhardt and our agents at Wichter, the Dortmund clean-up operation is nearing its final stages. 150,000 units of pre-processed waste have been shipped to Wichter to date, with a substantial proportion (~86,944 units) within the hold of Ironmore. I think it'll be years before I stop tasting metal in our water supply...
Please find the detailed receipts of the deliveries attached below.
I should also mention that I have consistently kept the water tanks at Koepchen topped off. Herr Linhardt might still need special deliveries for the high-end food from New Berlin now and then, but in all other respects the station is functioning normally.
Herr Linhardt has informed me that he is in the process of collating a technical report about the current level of contamination at Dortmund. I'm glad to have done my part to make this operation a success.
I will be resuming my Bretonia and Gallia routes, and hope to join more mining convoys in the foreseeable future. To that regard, please note the public service announcement I saw on my neural net recently regarding the security of Dublin.
SENDER:Anton Buhler, Crewmember LOCATION:Wichter Station, Sigma-15 System SUBJECT:Convoy and Incident Report ENCRYPTION:Medium
I will be brief in submitting this report as my stopover at Wichter as the Zeebrugge is scheduled to depart within the hour and checks must be made.
On the evening of 21.04.830, the Zeebrugge and the Basti made a rendezvous in New London, the plan being to transport a shipment of our famous SEO industrial label gin from our suppliers on Planet New London to New Berlin. We left on schedule and plotted a route through the Omegas as is standard.
However, we faced a serious threat when we jumped into the Omega-7 system. A pirate gunship, the Live.Catch was lying in wait for us. Demanding a payment of four million credits per ship, I was tempted to ram the bastard out of the way. Cooler heads prevailed though, and we were on our way soon enough, eight million credits lighter between us.
After contacting SEO security, we proceeded to New Berlin at full speed, delivering our cargo. At this point, the Basti and the Zeebrugge parted ways, and I received new instructions; the services of a mining vessel had been procured in Sigma-21, and I was to proceed with my transport at best speed to take on a cargo of uranium ore, meeting up with another SEO vessel, the Frankfurt.
This we did, making contact with both the Frankfurt and the simply named Kishiro.Miner at the site itself. The captain of the miner was obviously experienced with filling big cargo holds, though perhaps a little too vigorous as his efforts left the rear cargo hatch of the Zeebrugge loose, but the job was done.
At this stage I received priority instruction from SEO security control on Wichter, instructing me to dock my vessel as soon as was possible and transfer over to security duties in order to escort the Frankfurt and the Basti back to New London. This I did, exchanging tanker for fighter and meeting with the two vessels above Planet New Berlin.
The subsequent flight was remarkably uneventful. Taking point, I detected nothing of note in any system, and the pirate that had made a nuisance of itself in the Omegas was nowhere to be seen. Our small convoy arrived at Belvedere Refinery in good time.
I am happy to say that everyone is safe after that evening's operations, though I wish we had been in a position to resist the pirate vessel. Perhaps in future our convoys will either be large enough or be heavily protected enough to ensure that threats are blown out of the sky in short order. I have since returned to Wichter by shuttle and will be taking command of the Zeebrugge imminently.
Summary:
SEO|T-Basti - Tanker, Unharmed. Participated in gin convoy and return to New London. Paid 4 million credits to pirate.
SEO|T-Frankfurt - Golem, Unharmed. Participated in mining operation and convoy to New London.
SEO|T-Zeebrugge - Colossus, Unharmed. Participated in gin convoy and uranium ore mining op. Paid 4 million credits to pirate.
SEO|S-Anton.Buhler - Eagle, Unharmed. Provided security detail for convoy to New London.
Live.Catch - Pirate Mantis Gunboat encountered in Omega-7. Demanded 8 million credits, received and then fled the scene.
Kishiro.Miner - Kishiro Drone, contracted for mining services in Sigma-21
SENDER:Basti Legion, Vorsitzender of SEO LOCATION:Wuppertal Refinery, Köln SUBJECT:Convoy to Gallia and back ENCRYPTION:High
Guten Tag Kollegen,
We organized a convoy for a large delivery of Premium Scrap. Unfortunately we got attacked early on by Rogue pirates. We lost a transport, but thanks to the swift response of the Liberty Navy, no more losses were made. While the Navy kept the Rogues busy, we saved the crew of the lost transport while it was being docked at Houston and headed for Hamburg to regroup. Since our initial escort decided to leave while already being paid, we were forced to look for a new one before we continued our journey. Danke Gott that our Krüger allies had a fighter ready. We also had an OS&C-vessel accompanying us for a duration of our travels with the callsign TE-Suzume.
We left to Gallia where we sold our Premium scrap at Maintenon Shipyard for a profitable price and bought Nickel at the the nearby Planet Orleans in the Orleanais system. Returning to the Texas system, we decided to wait before heading to New York, as there were reports of an Outcast fleet ready to attack the local Navy garrison. Once the area was clear, we finished our convoy and returned to Eupen Handelsplatz for a drink. Toasting our mostly successful trade run.
SENDER:Basti Legion, Vorsitzender of SEO LOCATION:Wuppertal Refinery, Köln SUBJECT:Training and Waste Disposal ENCRYPTION:High
Guten Tag Kollegen,
There should always be time to learn our new members the way of waste disposal. SEO|M-Kriz showed a lot of promise today. He learned quick, and also got a quick buck from mining and selling his fresh acquired Premium Scrap to a client! Thanks to a fruitful day, Texas became a little cleaner again and Eupen Handelsplatz has been nicely stocked with Refined Scrap for customers to buy.
SENDER:Vincent Proch, Schiffskapitän RECIPIENT:SEO Board of Directors LOCATION:Koepchen Depot, New Berlin System SUBJECT:Clean up summary and toxic waste deliveries. ENCRYPTION:High
Guten tag, meine Damen und Herren.
Herr Linhardt has asked me to compile a report of the nature of the toxic waste, and outline any specifics over the course of my deliveries. I have provided a detailed analysis in an internal document, which would not be possible without the capable assistance of Herr Hauer. As you know, he and his able crew on the Alderhaben has performed a substantial part of the physical clean-up at both the Dortmund and Osaka sites. While you may read the detailed explanation at your leisure, I will summarize the main differences and challenges between the two sites below:
Dortmund station suffered what amounts to sabotage, which resulted in a partial meltdown, and the release of contaminated alloys. Osaka seems to have been the result of a reactor scram which was subsequently targeted by torpedoes, releasing radioactive isotopes along a wide area and contaminating everything in the blast radius.
The pre-processing procedure for the waste has had to be adapted substantially between the two clean-up operations. Bauleiter Linhardt will present his own findings in an upcoming technical meeting, but essentially the main concern in the Dortmund clean-up was recovering salvage, while the Osaka site required extensive shielding modifications.
Herr Hauer reports that the mining component of the clean-up operation was essentially the same, with only minor modifications needed to the intake airlocks and the storage compartments.
Transporting the waste after pre-processing was also similar between sites, though I have had to install different safeguards in case of container breach. While no breach has occurred to date, the drills and simulations have given me a new understanding of the danger on shipboard contamination.
This concludes my summary. Please refer to the extended report and Direktor Linhardts upcoming presentation for any additional information.
Attached below you will find all deliveries of Toxic Waste made by the Ironmore from Osaka to Wichter. All of these deliveries have been made by using the Sigma-21 route, and have been as routine as any shipping captain may ask for. All told, 91,486 units of toxic waste were delivered.
SENDER:Basti Legion, Vorsitzender of SEO LOCATION:Wuppertal Refinery, Köln SUBJECT:Emergency convoy ENCRYPTION:High
Guten Tag Kollegen,
The dark matter storm is slowly but surely engulfing all of Munich. We organized a large convoy consisting of SEO and DHC vessels to move our existing supplies out to safer systems. Naturally, large convoys like these don't go unnoticed. A DTR Corsair fleet with Unioner elements was not gonna let this opportunity slip to capture our cargo. The SEO and DHC vessels split ways to raise our chances of reaching our destination. Lucky for us, the Rheinwehr expected a raid and prepared a defense near Passau Outpost.
We received a fighter wing from the Military to cover our journey. It turned out the Corsair fleet focused on dealing with the Rheinland Military first. This gave us precious time to evacuate our personnel and supplies to Sigma 15 and Frankfurt. We managed to get out all our supplies and later we got word that Military successfully- but not without losses, deterred the Corsairs back to Omicron Xi.
Footage can be found below from Sirius Entsorgung's point of view.
SENDER:Oliver Manz, Sicherheitschef RECIPIENT:Board of Directors LOCATION:Eupen Handelsplatz, Texas System SUBJECT:Texas clean-up assessment ENCRYPTION:High
Guten tag, mein damen und herren.
I have recently conducted a scouting mission into the area of the scrap mining operation within the Texas system. While the presence of of dark matter near the operation is a cause for some concern, it is far enough away from the larger scrap clusters to be of low importance for now. Moreover, it seems that the radioactivity at the edge of the Grande Negra field is quite manageable - regular maintenance should take care of any long-term exposure. However, the material on the edge is quite spread out, and it would be difficult to achieve sufficient tonnage during short operations inside.
If there are personnel concerns, I am assured by Sugarland wardens that the inmates are eager to work in most conditions. I understand from Herr Linhardt that Herr Legion has already prepared plans for a program, and any early security issues can be quickly ironed out by our security teams. I have also spoken to the staff at Chesterfield, who after some reticence opened up a little, and we exchanged our security concerns. Rogue traffic does exist, but patrols from the Arkansas and prison convoys usually put a damper on any lurking dangers. At this point in the clean-up operation, we would not need to venture deeply into the dark matter fields - the East and South Dallas have sufficient scrap volumes for months of salvage operations, or so I was told by the DSE miners.
I recommend continuing on as we were, and outsourcing any larger-scale operations to the experienced DSE crews, while we tag along as expert observers and extra security as necessary. I've spoken to Herr Hauer, and he already has concerns about intake specialization which has him stay for far longer in one spot than with waste recovery. The scrap clusters are also much further away that the Dortmund and Osaka sites, which means any security personnel will have to be on ready five, which will eat into efficiency.
In summary, we will need to work with DSE to make any meaningful clean-up progress, and likely outsource the main salavage operation, while we focus on clean-up and stand-by security (in addition to the Navy patrols). I am also attaching a short radiology report by Herr Hauer, with he has asked to pass along with the comment "Junker haven", whatever that means...
SENDER: Wagner Braun LOCATION: SEO Office / Planet New Berlin / Rheinland. SUBJECT: Texas mining operation for Convoy with TCL.
I'm Wagner Braun, SEO security director.
SEO, in partnership with TCL, a transport and trading company for precious materials and/or primary supply, first carried out a mining operation so that all associated ships of a convoy could be supplied with the client's order located in Gállia, more precisely in Orleanais.
Soon after the miners had filled the base in Texas, situated in front of Planet Houston, the shippers met with their respective ships loaded with the product to be delivered, namely: Premium Scrap.
When everyone was ready to start the journey, a Rogue appeared flying a Scylla requiring 5 million from each transporter. One of the SEO Security Guards introduced himself and interfered. This gave time for everyone to organize themselves in their own way and the rogue thief did not fully achieve his intention.
Solved the problem with the Rogue Thief, all the transporters organized themselves and left for Orleanais, one was tape the delivery to the customer, who was very satisfied.
The route was as follows: Texas, New York, California, Cortez, Manchester, Newcastle, Leeds, Tau 31, Tau 44, Provence, Ile de France, Picardy, Orleanais.
The trip went well beyond the initial incident with the robber Rogue, there were no more problems.
The convoy reached its objective and was free to earn additional value in its coffers, in agreement with the entire crew, they hired GMS miners in Zurich and from them they purchased Molybdenum Ore, which they sold at a good price in Yukawa Shipiard / Honshu.
From there they hired Samura miners in Shikoku, obtaining Platinium Ore.
Some continued buying and selling. others rested their crew.
The fact is that everyone is eager to get together next time and venture to Sirius in search of adventure and greater riches for their coffers.
Thus, a new horizon approaches. Note: As Chief Security Officer, I'm sending one more employee to Texas to provide more security for SEO and our associates.
Best regards: Wagner Braun SEO Security Director Sirius Entsorgung Vorstandsburo
SENDER:Adam Linhardt, Vorsitzender, SEO RECIPIENT:SEO, All Departments LOCATION:Eupen Handelsplatz, Texas SUBJECT:Vorsitzender change and project announcements ENCRYPTION:High
Guten Tag Kollegen.
As you may already be aware from the message splash-screen, I am now the new Vorsitzender of Sirirus Entsorgung. Herr Legion has been meaning to focus on a number of long-term research initiatives, which would prevent him from continuing to be the public face of the company. He has told me most recently that he will be working in the background in line with the pace of the research, but is in no position to return to heading the company in the near future. Herr Legion has left SEO in very good order, so it was not such a great effort to take over and continue his good work. I am recording this message mere minutes after settling the most pressing matters on Eupen - thankfully my own Koepchen has been put in order just before this crisis.
I am here to assure you that this change need not affect day-to-day operations for SEO's staff. All merit-based schedules are still in effect, and we will continue to work on satisfying the contracts of existing projects. Existing trade routes are still operational, pending the report of Oliver Manz, whom I have dispatched once again to comb through the regular routes. In essence, everything will remain as is until the beginning of our next major project.
Some of you may be wondering what is on the horizon. I am here to assure you that things will remain as similar as they reasonably can be in the face of the new technological advancements all throughout Sirius. We will continue to take on disposal and supply contracts, and we will continue to organize convoys. I and your board of directors will continue to ensure that every credit invested in the company continues to pay dividends, and that the crew waitlists on our vessels continue to hit three digits. Beyond that, expect new opportunities for cooperation with House factions, as well continual research and development of toxic waste and its byproducts.
I rely on every one of you to continue making SEO a desirable place to work for all Rheinlanders, and should I say all people across Sirius!
