Greetings from Pueblo Station!
I was escorted here tonight with a load full of beryllium by the very capable IMG pilot, Mr. Ethan Murphy. It was smooth sailing until we got into Colorado, when we were stopped by an indie pirate in a Corsair gunboat. He demanded 2mil - I think for each of us - and I said I'd only pay one. He seemed to think he had the upper hand, but when upon refusing several of my offers he began firing in earnest, Mr. Murphy took him to task, allowing me to escape. Mr. Murphy joined me shortly thereafter.
This was an excellent opportunity for IMG-Gateway cooperation, and it worked out well for both.

Greetin's all,
Ran a pullman, and lux foods and boron run. Strange happenings going on in Rheinland, there was apparently a nomad fighter out there, managed to get away fine with the RM announcements. I'd thought those days were over, thought it was just some wilde kicking about, remnants from the war. Not a good sign.

Alisdair Buchanan,
Greetings, old friend! Remember me? It's Fimmion, Fimmion Cage, your former Acting DSO.
I just got out of rehab for my injuries sustained after that pirate ambush in Omega-3,
and have some news. Bad news, but good news as well.
Apparently after being in a coma, you have to renew your pilots license.
Yesterday I went to go do that, and they tell me I can't fly fighter class vessels anymore!
Can you believe that?! Ridiculous...anyway, ah, yes, the good news.
I can still fly, as long as it's big and slow and...well, definitely not my Eagle. So...here I am,
applying to be one of those who I enjoy protecting so much, a Gateway Interstellar trader!
I assure you, I haven't suffered any memory loss, and my piloting capabilities are as good as ever! Well..okay, minor memory loss, but I remembered your name, didn't I?

'Tag, everyone,
Today I decided to pull up my trousers and head to Liberty, as I heard Cambridge was under a heavy storm of Corsairs. Thankfully, Liberty wasn't, and I ran twice into California, once with ore Silver for California Minor, bringing Luxury Consumer Goods back to New London, and once with Beryllium for Peublo. On the second route, however, I caught wind of Xenos being present at the Colorado gate, and so I decided to simply stay on Manhattan and "enjoy" Libertonian culture.
Good thing I found that Rheinlandic corner shop a few weeks ago,

Good day,
Ran a pullman, and picked up a very good escort from Capital Space Insurance, went by the name of "C.S._Insurance--Escort" flown by Ocampo.
Very professional, and kept a cool head in the many hairy situations that happened.
After the pullman, ran a berl/boron, and ran into heavy pirate activity in California, and managed to sneak by due to Ocampo. Seems situation was bad enough that Liberty advised all civilians to avoid Cali. Long story short, we managed to sneak by again, and again thanks to Ocampo. Gave him a nice bonus and he said to contact Capital_Space_Insurance for arranging any escorts needed.
Anyway, profit made all around, no injuries, and pirates got destroyed.
A good day.

Hello everyone,
I'll start with my first solo run since being back with Gateway.
I decided i would run a Pullman, for old times sake, to warm
up. As i was about to leave, i managed to get an escort from
Zeke."Zorro".Anderson. I'm glad he came along, as he
managed to help me avoid two situations where i would have
otherwise been relieved of a large sum of credits. A great escort,
that one.
Today, i did another Pullman run with Alec. We talked about
being back with Gateway, and other things. We did run into
a couple pirates, one was named HellMarsh, but we managed
to haggle the tax down to 500k each. Later, we narrowly
escaped another pirate by the name of Major_Fubar, or
something like that... After that it was peaceful sailing back
to leads. Get this, it was peaceful, but we ran into yet another
pirate. A Hacker, by the name of Skye.
Oddly enough, he was just curious about our Percherons. He
claimed that he'd never seen one before. Odd, that one was.
I assume it's a side-effect of Cardamine.

Hello everyone,
Hope you are all well,
I am finally back on my feet after one heck of a party. Seeing all you guys flying again made me want to celebrate, but a few too many malts caused me to....ermm...well....you know....fall over a bar stool and break my ankle.
However, all healed now and flying again.
Did a couple of Pullman runs to shake down the GlenCoe and her crew and all went well.
Looking forward to meeting up with you lads again.

Subject: Application
Greetings, Sir.
My name is Alexander Gonta, i'm a private businessman, the owner of Interstellar merchant vessel "Pheen", model GT-1 "Whale", cargo capacity - 4700 units. As you can suspect, i want to join your excelent company as a so called "Trader". But i want to notice - I'm not so poor cashless pilot, mobs of which you can find in the recruitment offices of shipping companies through the whole Sirius Sector. I know, that my ship has an inappropriate configuration and that i need another one. But in any way, I pretend to be the real owner of my working vessel, not just a hired pilot, like some other pilots are. Though, I promise you to help other Gateway pilots, to pay salary for Gateway Security Officers who would escort me, to pay member's contribution, to submit to The Rules, etc. If it would be possible, i could even buy some shares. I wish you had them.
The very obvious question which you can ask me, why do I need your membership? No, i'm not afraid of pirates, terrorists or Kusari's Naval Forces. But during my countless voyages through Bretonia i had noticed that the economical situation in our great state is not so good, and i decided to support it, by supporting your organisation, by my labor and also by my money. Why not Bowex? Because i want to be free, as i mentioned before i'm a private businessman, not just a pilot. Though of my altruism, i hope you won't ask me any suspicious questions if i suddenly donate Bretonian Armed Forces instead of Gateway Interstellar? But, well, i promise to fund your operations too, of course.

Hello everyone, hope you are all well.
First off, the GlenCoe is flying the trade lanes with some hired escort with no problems to report. Several Pullman runs and a few to the New York system and back with no problems to report.
Secondly, thankyou for your enquirery Mr. Gonta. Im sure our ADTO will be in contact with you soon.
Lastley, however, I have noticed on my travels several strange Gateway tagged vessels. One flying an Advanced Train which is a rhineland ship and is not one Gateway uses for trade. The other was a vessel that does not use the naming criteria for Gateway vessels.
Could i take this opportunity to ask for a roll call to establish whos who and get these minor problems fixed?

Greetings, my dear friends.
Yes, i can unfortunally confirm that I'm flying the vessel which is not fully corresponded with our corporate policy. This happened due to some carelessness from my side, though I've informed mr. Gunther Koch what ship I was going to fly and he, unfortunately, hadn't made me any reprimands. So I haven't noticed that my trading vessel violates our policy. I want to express my heartfelt regret about this upsetting fact. I'm going to fix this problem as soon as possible. Moreover, now I can surely consider that Adv. Train is not so good as it believed to be and it even caused me some profit lost due to his unpractical features.
My first weeks in our corporation turned out rather calm. There appeared to be different number of problems, but all of them were truly solvable and I resolved them on my own.
In addition, if you're still uninformed, my vessel is known by the name Gateway)Berwick and i'm always at your service and at the service of our great corporation too, of course.
