Greetings, I have, in the company of the captain of the mining ship Lincoln, completed two loads of gold ore. The operation started at around 11am, and continued throughout the hour, until completion at just gone 12pm. While the operation was bogstandard in nature, one among hundreds completed every day; the events that took place are worthy of note.
About a quarter of a way in, we saw a friendly miner, completely armourless and about to be horribly ransacked by a foul pirate transport. the captain of the Lincoln and myself (the Exeter's captain) rushed in to assist, destroying the pirate transport with minimal damage to the armourless miner;
After a further quarter had passed, yet another miner (this time a poor fellow that had stayed near us) was attacked by a second pirate transport; we wasted no time in blowing this dirty waste bin of a ship to kingdom come, another miner fellow came by for some glory, and the target of the pirate transport became infused with miner comradery;
