Due to repeated injuries and little free time, my reports as of late have been...delayed. Several events escape my complete remembrance, so this report focuses on my recent runs for the Logistics Core. I set out in the Lakewood for several shipments of Plasmonic Metamaterials, and while the trip there was seamless and uniturrupted, the return trips have been...problematic. The first encounter was pilots of Gallic Royal Naval craft, bearing IFF tags unrelated to the GRN. They engaged the Lakewood, and while I left one severely damaged, had to abandon the ship due to critical engine failure and decompression. After a secondary trip to recover materials lost, and a short time in the local infirmary for plasma burns, I was stopped by members of the 'Molly Republic'. These are not too smart, in my view, and can barely be understood. After convincing them that they had a Corsair battlegroup to face, I was stopped by two more 'GRN' pilots bearing unknown IFFs. They did not enter range to stop me, however, I was already in the lanes and their weapons were not active. These new 'Unknown GRN' are troubling news. If thier operations continue, Logistics shipments from Bretonia will require many more than one escort.
