More updates.

Nichols Trade Center is finally complete. Many of you will be getting your new office assignments in her spacious suites within the month; enjoy the views. With four cargo warehouses, Nichols has capacity to hold an enormous amount of cargo. We've arranged for Nichols to become a regional helium3 distribution node, while not the exclusive node our initial profit margins have been tremendous.

We've entered into an informal agreement with Kishiro Technologies to trade construction materials for their new station in Sigma-19 for helium3. Very large profit margins to be made for those transport captains willing to take on the extra work.

Keep up the good work on getting the goods the Freeports demand to them quickly, we've had no complaints regarding missed, delayed, or lost shipments in a few months. There is a new group of Zoners that have made their home in the Omicron Zeta system, two stations that could use some supplies. Look for vessels transmitting a OZ: identifier in front of their call signs. In addition to those groups, you might find work with the RoL or the SEF here in Omega-49.

I'd like to report an incident with a Molly vessel call sign the.traitor's.grave, a molly bomber. This vessel attacked me in Omega-49 near the jump hole to Dublin; I was transporting a group of refugees from Erie to Gran Canaria. When I refused to relinquish a number of the refugees to him he demanded that I take all of their credits and turn them over to him. He then proceeded to cripple the vessel and targeted the section of the Penumbra housing the refugees, most of which perish when the section of the ship was opened up to the vacuum of space. Lost a fair number of the crew in the attack also. Our distress beacon drew the attention of our security assets, but by the time they arrived he had fled to Dublin. We were towed to Nichols where we're undergoing patchwork repairs until we can get to Aland or Lividia for proper repairs.

Dear board of directors

I'm rather busy so I'll get right to the point:

I have delivered a total of

• 25,000 Silver
  
  
• 9,360 Robotics
  
  
• 9,360 Industrial Materials
  
  
• 5,310 Superconucuctors
  
  
• 4,050 High Temperature Alloys
  

to Nichols. Evidence upon request.
[//all within the timeframe 8th and 9th of July]

The Silver was purchased from Freistadt base in exchange for Basic Alloys, this leg of the journey is able to be completed entirely with a Whale class transport.
Every other run was completed with the Kujira with a rather tidy profit all told.

There were several attempts at Piracy but I explained that what comes out of my pocket eventually comes right back out of theirs as they need to buy goods from someone and it's usually us.

Haven't heard in from many of you as of late. I know you're out there as the orders keep coming in, but do check in from time to time, please. We've some updates and information that needs to be distributed to everyone so listen up.

1. If you find yourself in Omicron Zeta, do not enter within 20 clicks of the Obsidian's Murilo Mining station. The Core is currently blockading the area and will attempt to kill you if you enter within 20k of the station. We are working on ways to assist the Obsidians in an indirect fashion. We'll keep you updated on that matter.

2. We've docking rights to Falster Station in Omega-3 now. I IMG is selling raw ores at competitive prices, should make trips into House space a bit more profitable. Take advantage of it.

3. We've been approved by the Kingdom of Gallia to jump directly into their space, so be on the look out for jump convoys heading into Gallia. I don't think I need to tell you all that goods from Gallia fetch a hefty premium here in Sirius.

4. If you're in Kusari and are looking to return home, but can't find keep Fuxyueru Trade Hub in Okinawa in mind. The GMG are doing a great job at ensuring the demand for helium-3 is met. The company will purchase h3 from you for 7000 credits on Nichols Trade Center. Or if you're looking to leave Omega-49, check with Nichols staff as we may have a load of h3 to sell you for 7000 credits which can be sold in New London for a decent profit!

5. Security pilots can find that there is a plethora of equipment on Nichols for you to pilfer through. If any of your vessels are in need of a refit and you find some equipment on the station you need, please let a director know.

Greetings,

Just a security update. Be careful when you encounter any vessels with [HoT] in their transponder. They're known to frequent Omega-3 and Cambridge and have no qualms about pirating our transports. If you encounter them, I ask that you file a report here with guncans and logs.
