» ENCRYPTION LEVEL - MAXIMUM - MESSAGE IS SECURE
Good day Trex Praetor,
Colin Parsons has his own agenda, but it is more with faction representation and diplomacy at upper levels than the daily operations. There is no worries of stepping on toes here, aside from that aspect. Your designation as Security Officer and the responsibilities that go with it still give you the authority to conduct recon and security as you see fit, especially given our now resident status in the system.
Good luck out there!
Sincerely,
Glen Kelly
Chief Security Officer All Worlds Enterprises & Securities
Understood, thank you Sir. AWES-SEC-FIREBRAND will be outside house space. I will lift my wish to the Zoners in the upcoming talks and see if they can set me up with those handling the delivery. I've procured information that it would also be possible to pick up the order in the Omicrons. I'm sure they'll give a guiding hand.
With your permission, once the FIREBRAND is online, I would like to do further assessment of the current status of the Omicron hostilities and status, related to our business and connected systems. I am sure Colin Parsons have plenty detail already, definitely when it comes to diplomacy. My impression is that an actual reconnaissance mission could be fruitful for future planning of routes and convoys.
A mere suggestion, I'm duly aware the Executive Offices have organized plans and efforts being conducted. I merely bring advice as a Security Officer under your wing. Please let me know if I am needed in other ways or if you have other plans.
In the meantime, I will get in touch with HR to assist with hiring crew for the FIREBRAND.
Sincerely,
Trex Praetor
Security Officer All Worlds Enterprises & Securities
Our crew was tasked recently with the important mission of delivery of some of our Executives from Salt Lake Station to the Zoner base of Freeport 12 in Galileo.
CEO Don Vega was to be in attendance for this opening discussions meeting, so we wanted to be sure we were tip-top shape, especially after the long trip home from the Dublin system. The system itself and several we passed through on the return flight required some minor maintenance in systems to correct for environmental damages, but also appearance. Both issues were corrected in port without too much difficulty after assessment by station Cargo Surveyors as to the minor damages.
Once it was time to depart, we rendezvoused with our escort as well as a transport with goods to present the station for our initial meeting. We proceeded to Galileo through Colorado with no difficulties.
Upon entering Galileo, we were met by the Zoners of Galileo and their large security force detachment to escort our ships into the station area. Greetings, introductions, and pleasantries were exchanged both at the gate as well as in close orbit of the station.
After this brief encounter, security secured the area while the passenger and cargo ships docked, then followed them in to do so themselves.
I have attached the relevant ship records from our mission below:

In keeping with our corporate goals to follow up on better relations with Gallia through increased trade, our crew ventured forth to tackle see how a route via Rheinland would perform, albeit with some limitations that Rheinland corporations will not have.
Grabbing some Boron from Planet Pittsburgh, we then proceeded to round out our cargo with a vist to Eupen handelsplatz in Texas for some Premium Scrap.
The Rheinland leg of our Gallic mission had us stop in Freiburg Station, providing Rheinland with the Boron for their use, while picking up some Synth Paste near Planet Stuttgart, securing a replacement for our sold Boron.
Without issues heading through Cologne and Zurich, we proceeded into Gallic space at Picardy, onward to our final destination to sell our Premium Scrap at Maintenon Shipyard in Orleanais. From there, we opted to continue in that direction through Champagne to Burgundy, where we sold the Synth Paste to a buyer at the Bourg-en-Bresse Space Port in Burgundy.
All our cargo successfully sold in Gallia, we now began procuring return commodities to benefit the Rheinland and Liberty importers, beginning with travel to Ile-de-France and the Luxury Liner Belleville. Once onboard, the Blue Diamonds we'd heard Liberty commercial and retail customers rave so much about were purchased. For our Rheinland partners, we decided to head to Guise Mining Facility in Picardy to pick up some Molybdenum.
Both commodities in hand, our transit back through Zurich and Cologne was pleasant and uneventful. We arrived at The Ring, New Berlin with our Molybdenum cargo which they happily took off our hands for a decent profit.
A partially empty hold on Liberty return was not an option, so we decided to head to Raubling Station, Munich to obtain some much desired Aluminium for Liberty consumers.
We passed through the rest of Rheinland and entered Texas on route to New York. Still smooth sailing, no problems on this run.
For future trips, we will likely try to take a mix of more premium cargos for the return trip, such as Uncut Diamonds from Rheinland. Had we the license to do so, like Rheinland corporations do, Military Salvage from the Picardy supplier near Abbeville would have made profits higher as well. Alas, some restricted products are not approved for everyone!
All in all, a great trip - rated a 5 of 5, would recommend - especially in convoy!

Doug Sullivan

My crew and I are happy to report that the latest contract of Hull Segments to Baffin has been completed.
We had few issues, and found a decent return commodity of Alien Organisms that were sold in Baffin for sale to Kusari at the Tsushima Depot, Kyushu - one lane from the Hull Segment source of Planet Kyushu.
However we did come across some brief moments of piracy jumping out of Baffin, both times intercepted at the jump hole in Tau-29. A Royalist vessel asked for some 'taxes' for our presence in the King's space - we paid to keep things civil as per policy.
[07.05.2023 23:13:57] MdG/-VCF-Cerveau: Bonjour, hold it there
[07.05.2023 23:14:04] AWES-Independence: Well, hello yourself!
[07.05.2023 23:14:15] AWES-Independence: What's brings you my way?
[07.05.2023 23:14:18] MdG/-VCF-Cerveau: You are within the King's territory and are subject to his domain
[07.05.2023 23:14:34] MdG/-VCF-Cerveau: This time, he asks for a fee of two million
[07.05.2023 23:14:35] AWES-Independence: Isn't that a Freeport over there?
[07.05.2023 23:14:48] AWES-Independence: Does the King allow Zoners in his turf?
[07.05.2023 23:15:11] MdG/-VCF-Cerveau: As long as they comply with the King's demands
[07.05.2023 23:15:20] MdG/-VCF-Cerveau: Hence, you shall be paying two million to me now
[07.05.2023 23:15:25] AWES-Independence: I guess that would help definitely
[07.05.2023 23:15:37] AWES-Independence: I will not disobey the king today
[07.05.2023 23:15:42] AWES-Independence: funds being sent
[07.05.2023 23:15:53] [2023-05-07] 23:15:52 You have sent 2.000.000 credits to MdG/-VCF-Cerveau.
[07.05.2023 23:15:55] MdG/-VCF-Cerveau: Your conduct is appreciated, mon ami
[07.05.2023 23:15:59] MdG/-VCF-Cerveau: May you go now
[07.05.2023 23:16:14] AWES-Independence: Be sure to let his majesty know of our contribution!
[07.05.2023 23:16:18] MdG/-VCF-Cerveau: Vive le roi!
[07.05.2023 23:16:40] AWES-Independence: This space feels more royal already!
[08.05.2023 18:03:36] MdG/-VCF-Cerveau: It seems we meet again
[08.05.2023 18:03:44] AWES-Independence: hmm
[08.05.2023 18:03:50] AWES-Independence: indeed!
[08.05.2023 18:03:55] MdG/-VCF-Cerveau: Now what are these Organisms for?
[08.05.2023 18:04:01] AWES-Independence: Is this about the King again?
[08.05.2023 18:04:17] AWES-Independence: There is demand for them it seems.
[08.05.2023 18:04:25] AWES-Independence: Gosh if I know what they use them for!
[08.05.2023 18:04:53] MdG/-VCF-Cerveau: But you will be taxed 4 million
[08.05.2023 18:05:33] AWES-Independence: I suppose that is fair.
[08.05.2023 18:05:56] AWES-Independence: I mean the King has you out here enforcing these taxes - they need to pay you for this service
[08.05.2023 18:06:28] AWES-Independence: Are you sure the King can't use some of these super useful organisms?
[08.05.2023 18:06:47] MdG/-VCF-Cerveau: Now you will have to pay me now
[08.05.2023 18:07:00] AWES-Independence: Alright Alright - no small talk, got it...
[08.05.2023 18:07:04] AWES-Independence: Sending funds
[08.05.2023 18:07:12] [2023-05-08] 18:07:11 You have sent 4.000.000 credits to MdG/-VCF-Cerveau.
[08.05.2023 18:07:17] AWES-Independence: Funds sent
[08.05.2023 18:07:25] MdG/-VCF-Cerveau: You should better directly listen to what I tell you
[08.05.2023 18:07:42] AWES-Independence: Understood I will do so next time...
I'm excited to report that our Leeds base movement planning is going extremely well and we will initiate the movement of the structure in short order.
Our project team has decided to rename the base from its current name of "Planet Leeds Search and Rescue" to the new name, being more representative of its upcoming role, of "AWES Independent Commodities Exchange".
Final phase involving the actual relocation is all depending on availability of our transportation ships and escorting security, as well as station administration giving the go ahead that our dissaembly efforts have lead to success modular disconnection, ready for transfer.

I know we have our suspicions but these were not relayed to the contractors.
History seems to repeat itself in funny ways with certain houses and Interspace Commerce profits. We are extremely lucky that our Regional Operations Director Ms. Murase was attending to duties in Shikoku - the attack was horrible but a loss from at the top would have been almost personal.
Reports to follow as information becomes available. As requested, we are working on appropriate response should it become necessary.

Logan here with that shake-down of the new bots you ordered for our short term supply.
After making arrangements with the docks to have them delivered to the Rhino freighter tagged for this cruise, I worked with the techs in Scientific Programs, checking configurations and initial directions were good to go outta the box. I ensured one of them tagged along with our merry little band, in case of trouble in transit.
Our first trip was just my demonstration of the flight to Newark Station, the destination, the cargo, and the return trip back to Salt Lake - all by the book, with the smoothest take-off and landings that would have made my flight instructor proud. The android was attentive in this learning mode, so much so I had to ask them questions to ensure they were paying attention! Each answer was surprisingly detailed, however, including some specifics in my flying habits I didn't even realize I had picked up over the years... (all legal though!)
The next trip was my turn in the passenger seat - hands off the wheel, just observing the marvels of mankind's technological progress. I'm happy to report - that I really have nothing to report other than routine flight. Gold stars for great communication to other nearby ships when needed, and reacted appropriately when LPI zoomed by chasing some hopped up freighter 'round Manhattan, probably loaded up on all sorts of illegal substances... maybe in the cargo hold too...
We took one further trip with the second unit, and the results were the same - programming, right? No surprise when you get identical results.
As much as you know I was probably one of the most biased guys to do this task, I'm kinda glad I was given this assignment - it was kind of an eye opener seeing the new gizmos in action.
They won't be replacing good ol' blood and bones anytime soon - there's just too many random occurrences in this sector to program for them all in my humble opinion - but for short uncomplicated routes such as this proposed supply run, I can see it working with minimal monitoring from the control station at Salt Lake.
