You know what annoys me more? Racers who cannot fucking race. The bends and turns in the track at Heisenberg are quite challenging, but when these idiots try to take the bend, they do it too late and slam into the rings. Get good, scrubs. This lead me into leaving the station entirely, take my mind off things. Had to look for this vault anyways. The fatso said he did find a wreck with some instructions buried in it's logs, though I didn't catch what wreck and where. They did say in Rheinland, so I guess I'll start here.
Jokes on you, guys who audit these internal logs, I found it already.
There's a lovely pair of disabled ships in the northern end of Cologne. Had to fly around while half asleep when my scanners pinged standard ship alloy. There were instructions and some other history recorded between the two ships. The records say it was Part 3, so that tells me there's at least two more parts scattered around somewhere. Houses are huge and it's gonna take me a while to find these dead guys. Time to ignore my responsibilities and track down this Vault. Cuz I wanna see what the fuss is about. Maybe beat the fatso to it.
More to come, if I find anything.

Muliah Taana
Ship: '\S/'CEV-Pyxis
Location: Planet Cambridge
Well, I thought I would go for a tour to the Kusari systems today, but no sooner than I hit Kyushu, but I had a most interesting encounter.
A former freelancer who has started to work for OS&C. Seems to run a rather weird party-bus mystery-tour service. This wasn't what caught my attention, however. This pilot reported to me that they were an anomaly researcher who had been caught inside some form of gravitational instability that had a temporal side-effect.
Eh... Do I have to use these big words? Whatever! Apparently he spent 3 months inside, but when he got out, it was 3 years later.
Point is, this anomaly is purported to be in the Taus somewhere, if it hasn't collapsed.
I know the Starfliers have research ships that study such things. I also know that some of these traverse the Taus, this could be something to look into.
After discussing things with the pilot, I accompanied him to Planet New London, where I encountered a friendly trader from Atomic Movers Inc. They are apparently a small logistics company based out of Liberty. While many pilots are polite, I took note of the fact that this one was not just polite, but friendly.
Worth mentioning in case we need something moved about, but our own transports can't handle it.
Finally, I ended this journey at Planet Cambridge. I had planned to head out to the Omegas, but a civilian ship had a minor mishap. I managed to recover the pilot's escape pod and immediately requested docking rights.
I will be stuck here for a while as I fill out paperwork, I swear these Brettonians live by bureaucracy.
Till next time! Muliah Taana, out.

Subject: Vector Project Status
With much hard work from our teams, as well as the shipbuilding experts within Deep Space Engineering, we have finally prepared pre-production units of our custom exploration vessels. Flight tests and checks have passed, and it is up to myself to ensure they are fit for purpose for the Starfliers as a whole. I have shared below a render from Deep Space Engineering of what the vessel will look like once it is available to be built.
I have been told that the vessel is undergoing other tweaks, issues within the pre-production process. These will be rectified for final release. It makes me happy and vindicated that such efforts and time directed towards a high profile project as this has resulted in such success.
Now to ensure it can cross the line to final release.

Greetings Everyone!
This is Doctor Vanesca Catallia, your newest collegue. Feel free to call me by my first or family name, "doc" also works if you want to use that instead. I got right into the job and totally not forget to introduce myself.
If you require anything of me, be it assistance or any questions simply reach out at any given point in time, as soon as I have spare minutes I will respond.
Anyway, Albert!
Do you have a problem if I switch from my Draugr to a Renzu Line Tsuyo? I'd like to be quicker for doing my field work. Don't worry about the credits, I will pay for it.

Oh, and yes. You may exchange your vessel for the "Tsuyo"-Class. The company license was adjusted to work with their vessels quite some time ago.

Subject: The Taus // to everyone's eyes and especially McKenzie
With the recent flight of birds to the Taus I've noticed some out of the ordinary wear and tear on our Albatross-Class part. Especially the cargo section being grinded down from all the particles of the dense asteroid field.
We didn't had it this harsh within the Omegas. Now we got mineral dust and sand everywhere where it can sneak in. The holster for the pods has a chance to malfunction due to this issue aside from the chance of the hull being breached from all the erosion.
We have to think of something on the next board meeting. And I need to speak to our money people to see what is even an option for us researchers.

The Gaelic Wyvern Inn, possibly my favourite place right now in terms of food. I've flown around every which way, settling mostly for the scraps served at most Freeports. However, these fucking guys have a proper menu WITH DRINKS. Can take your order to go and holy shit I love it. What I didn't love is the two Corsair heavy crafts blowing up Bretonian ships while I was ordering my food. The flashes from the explosions almost made me go blind. Wasn't a pleasant ordering experience, but that's the fault of the Corsairs. Maybe I'll send a message out to the inkeep.
All I wanted was to go to Tau-23 uninterrupted and really get some use out of this Libertine Racing Engine, but hey, I'm not complaining. That Kyushu Gyozas dish was empty by the time it landed on my lap, twas that good.

We have spent a considerable amount of time ensuring the right equipment and materials are being transported to the appropriate destinations. However, I have failed to account for one thing - the teams. The House Laws make it very clear as to the type of vessels we'll need in order to transport personnel in space.
I am happy that your communication with Spa & Cruise has mentioned the "Regent"-Class. This will suit our needs and will be able to accommodate transporting both equipment and personnel.
It is very helpful knowing that you can fill in the vacancies in my efforts to run the company. Thank you, Vanesca.
