RE: Trade Report
Hello, Gents:
I'm happy to report an entirely quite, smooth, and profitable run to Rheinland and back today. This entailed beryllium to Altona, robotic parts to Dortmund, and luxury food from Stuttgart back to New London. A nice profit at the end of it.
Makes up for the twice violently interrupted run to New York last week.
Safe travels, all.

RE: Ship
Mr. Aderholt,
It is a great pleasure to hear your voice again, my friend! I'm sorry about the ship - I think I was in the hangar right after you left, and I saw the techs moving with unprecedented speed!
As you're probably aware, Mr. McDonald is CEO of Gateway now. I'm out several times a week in the Trafalgar, so we should have little trouble hooking up someday soon.
Give Gimpy a scratch behind the ears for me - and next time you're in the bar, talk to Tyrell. I left a special treat for Gimpy there behind the counter.
Hope to see you in space soon!
Alisdair
PS: If you ever happen to run into Abbie Eaton, you might mention to her that travel into NY has rarely been more precarious for us. If she was ever up to returning, we'd welcome her with open arms.

RE: Trade Report
Greetings, All:
Finally made it back from Rheinland this morning with luxury food. Strange thing - I had come back last evening with Mr. Godwin and the stately Agincourt, but upon docking with the mooring at Planet New London, was suddenly warped back to Stuttgart! Must have been some sort of strange, and thankfully temporary, wormwhole right were I docked. Extremely odd, and extremely inconvenient.
However, that otherwise smooth trip to Rheinland and back netted a profit of approximately 11.6 million credits. And, of course, the snobs of New London can now enjoy their caviar.
Yours always,
Alisdair

Subject: Ion clouds
Good day to you HQ. Pleasure to report in that many of the runs we here on the Agincourt have been doing have been, for the most part, uneventful. There have been many standard trips from Kensington out to the Taus to visit the IMG's Java Station with mining equipment. Of course, on the return we bring Niobium back to Kensington for our small transports to bring to places in Liberty or Rheinland.
As for my most recent trip, ship hull pannels from Bretonia's pride yards on Leeds into Rheinland to drop them off at Oder in New Berlin, it wound up being an uneventful eve. On the return trip, I checked our open contracts and found out that the IMG at Aland Shipyard needed Engine Components. As I was awaiting the lads at Oder to fill up the Agincourt, I was contacted by none other than Mr Buchanan! Having never met our fine former-CEO, I did my best to be diligent.
Upon leaving the shipyard I... Well, things started to get weird. Seemed fine at first but my Shetland's shipboard computers were having a hard time initiating the tradelanes. Met up with Mr Buchanan's Trafalger shortly after leaving, I think. See the problem is that my poor ship's scanner was now malfunctioning and the Trafalger was popping on and off the scanner like a whack-a-'sair game, you know, the ones we had when we were little... ahh I used to love those. Bother, I shouldn't get distratect in an official report, where was I? Ah yes, so we depart from Rheinland and all is well, other than the scanner and lane problems.
We reached Aland, I dropped off my containers and grabbed some Toxic Waste that needed to be incinerated. As we passed Cambridge, I of course had to stop to visit me mum, god bless her she's still well at 85. From here I'll be taking this shipment, under escort from the BAF per regulations of course, to LD-14. That is as soon as the lad's at the moor point can fix the Agincourt's systems.

RE: Trade Report
Hello everyone, hope you are all well,
A trade run today from Bretonia to Rhineland and back. No pirates or other rif raf encountered and all went well. Ounce i entered New London, however, the BAF informewd me of an incursion of Kusasi Navy into Leeds and advised me to go no further. I duly noted and thanked them and decided to dock at Kensington for the day.
Cpt Jubal, my word its good to hear from you. If you need anything to get your ship back together then just shout and it will be done.

RE: Trade Report
Good day, Everyone:
It seems that we have a bounty on our collective head: Bounty on Gateway Ships.
I'm not sure what that is all about, and I don't recognize Gateway)Yarmouth. Perhaps he/she will give us a ring one day.
In any event, bounty notwithstanding, I conducted an entire run to Ft. Bush and back today, totally without incident. Aside from a 100K tip I paid a Mr. Eddie Nugent for apprising me on the climate in Cambridge, I garnered approximately 10 million credits on this run.
If only every run could go that smoothly.
This inept bounty aside, I do urge my fellow captains to take the utmost caution during their flights.
Yours,
Alisdair

RE: Leave of absence
Hello everyone, hope you are all well,
Unfortunately, due to an illness in the family, i need to take a few days off. Nothing too serious but i am afraid it merits my full attention. So in the meantime, Sir Alisdair Buchanan, our senior Board of Director, in conjunction with our DTO, Capt Walter Godwin, will keep things running smoothly until my return which, hopefully, wont be too long.
keep an eye out for those pests out there and fly safe.
Yours aye
Calum McDonald.

Top of the morning fellow employees,
First of all, I do hope everything goes very well for you and your family Mr McDonald. I know some very fine doctors on Cambridge if you need any references or support, we're her for you chap.
As far as trading goes, things have been quite busy. I took the Agincourt on a new route today and it turned out quite straightforward and profitable. I also picked up the services of a civilian as means of a scout. The lad's ship was BT-13, a shiny new Startracker. Of course we left from Kensington and headed to Cardiff with Mining Machinery to pick up Beryllium. We then went straight to Dortmund Station in New Berlin to our allies, ALG Waste disposal. Seems they need those minerals and also produce the cargo for the return trip, Mox, bound for any one of Bretonia's fine battleships.

RE: Trade Report
Greetings All,
A nice quiet evening, and a short run. Took mining machinery to Friestadt, and then cobalt back to Thames. Easy in, easy out, and not a pirate in sight. Hardly any other traders, come to mention it.
In any event, quiet times make for nice and easy profits, eh?
And Mr. Godwin, well done on the scout. I'll have to engage one for those purposes at some point - would be invaluable in Liberty.
Yours,
Alisdair
