PLEASE ENTER PASSWORD ******** ACCEPTED
So...this is official then. Been thinkin' 'bout it a long while now, and sharing my thoughts wit' 't' Rev'rend Jack over many a night. Finally decided t' do it.
This is my notice. I've got my back pay, my severance, and what was left from selling my apartment on station. That's a fair bit a' coin, and enough for me t' make a new life. Got a buddy from LA, back when we was in the Lib'rty Corps 'a Engineers, a man by the name of Mike Jonner. Were goin' in' halves on a big heavy transport, gon' run cargo and make enough money to retire on.
Who know's, maybe i'll finally be able to make some time fer' my son, wherever he is.
Alright, lets not make a big thing a' this.
So yeah. This is Mack *clears throat* I mean...Dave McElsky...signin' off.
Take care...

I tell you, space-travellers these days. Makin' my hair turn grey faster then I was hoping for. And it's not the good kind of grey, I can tell you that.
Here's the deal. Nelly Sachs from ALG undocked from the station, finding two people outside the freeport asking her for a chat. She told me she forgot a crewmember on the freeport so she docked. I got the feeling something wasn't right so I took the [FP1]The.Ascended outside to overhear on the comms two Outcasts requesting a "donation" from a trader who was passing by. In OUR NO-FIRE ZONE. The shipnames of these folks are "Lesley-T'Goran" and "Jack_Sparrovv". The nerve of some folks I tell you. Lately my patience has been growing thin about these folks. I don't feel resentment against Outcasts, but EVERYONE has to abide by our rules. So I told my men to go to battlestations. The ship with the transponder "Jack_Sparrovv" ran away immediatly. The other one got beatings from my turrets and got told not dock. Which he did. I warned the security team to throw the Outcast out the airlock. He managed to evade the security and decided to undock himself. I re-opened fire and got aid from Harvey, in his ship "[FP1]Winter.is.Coming". We chased the unlucky fella and finally Harvey managed to destroy his ship. We went on a pursuit of finding "Jack_Sparrovv", but were unsuccesful.
So, first we have a pirate ID Roc Bomber, named "bill.jard" (See Appended File 01)- Nice fellow, if a bit slow. An OSI Trader commo'd FP1 about him, so I figure lets go tip-toe out and have us a look-see. And yeah, he was 'ratin. Said "not zoner enemies" - but didn't really know who Zoner enemies were. Go figure.
Anyway, then we had a Hessian wander in - fella named "Trauben.Zucker" - he was polite, did his whole "mein herren" thing. Asked what was up, seemed interested, then stopped a Hercules Contruction transport, named "hexen" loaded with 71 units of scrap metal. He demanded "1 Million for the Hessian Cause" - I put a stop to that, offered the fee instead, and told Hexen to get lost - Trauben let him go, Hexen left, and then Trauben refused to take my money - huh, odd.
Things devolved after that, and while I tried to explain matters, the lesson didn't take. No surprise there.
But, Trauben left, promissing he would "report this to Hessian HQ" (*laughter*) and we would "regret it" - Bill left, but I have a siper sense that says he'll be back.
Anyway, appended is the Commo log - have a laugh.

Traffic control alert: [FP1]Sublight-Phoenix has requested to dock
Deck Officer McKenzie here, report log of the Avo's Tear.
To do a favor for our friends in Baffin, the Avo was briefly relocated to that system, to fill their need for heavy firepower. As it turns out, they had everything well under control, and thanked us for our offer to help - We set course back for home.
Upon arrival in the Omega 3 system, Comm's Officer Galen picked up a faint distress signal within system. We traced it, and established communications with a heavily damaged Corsair vessel, an M42 Series "Imperator" corvette. The captain was in dire need of aid, and we set course for rendezvous.
The Captain of the vessel informed us that all crew aboard were dead. We transferred over repair kits, and stood vanguard while the Captain made what repairs he could. With the engines now functioning, he was able to engage cruise speed, and set course for Freeport One.
The Avo followed close behind, and upon arrival at the station, gave clearance for emergency docking - notifying medical personal to be ready.
With the crisis averted, we moored Avo, and stood down Condition 2.
