RE: Temporary Retirement
Hello everyone,
It is with both sorrow and hope that I communicate this, possibly, last message to you all. For the foreseeable future, I am afraid I will be unable to fly for Gateway. It has been an honor to fly with you all, but duty calls. With everything happening in Bretonia today, I felt the training I learned flying with Gateway would enable me to help our fair nation. To that end, I have enlisted in the Armed Forces and am soon to take my place on one of the new Cruisers being built every day. I am going to work with navigation, and I do hope that, someday, after the bloodshed ends, I will be able to return to work here.

Some Boron - Gold hauling today. I was forced to donate 1.000.000 credits to a Liberty Rogue in California, along the Mojave - NY Jump Gate lane. Upon nearing Manhattan, I enlisted the assistance of the valiant LNS-Calypso and Queen's Crusader (Liberty Navy Battlecruiser and Bretonian Armed Forces Destroyer respectively) to safely escort us through the infamous trade lane. We continued forward until Cortez, where the LNS-Calypso stayed and wished us good luck for the rest of the journey to New London. The Queen's Crusader escorted us safely to Thames Outpost; no pirates to report.
Here's the combined log for my shipping yesterday:

Well sir, I's carry'n a load of gold t' Fort Bush don't you know. An' so fer, the trip is as easy as you pleez.
As I swing aroun' Riverside Station in California and jump in the trade lane t' th' New York jumpgate, My nav map is a goin' all red 'n alarms er goin off. I slam 'n th' brakes an jump out 'f th' tradelane bout half way to the jumpgate. Right's before m' eyes is that dern Outcast Verillian in a gunboat.
As yer all a known, I's a gettin' a bit tired 'f all these dern pirates swarmin' on me like skeeters, so I ask the Gimp what t' do:
*Gimpy, what you think we should do dang nabbit?"
*ruf ruf, ruf ruf ruf*
*Ok Gimp, I unerstand*
*Well Verillian, Gimpy says to blast ya. OPEN FIRE Gimpy*
Good ol Gimpy opens a can a wup ass on ol Verllian. I'm a joust'n in the Perchy and Gimpy 's lay'in into im wit the guns.
But dang nabbit, the Perchy's turrets don't even scratch tem gunboat shields, an ol Verillian is a laughing at m'. Well sir, I's don' blame him. Weuun pertty darn pathetic in the battle.
See'n m' chance, I throw Gimpy in the lifepod an' I jump 'n afer 'im. Tis wut happen'
Unfortunity I bring bad news, the good ship Gateway)Dover has been completely destroyed during a pirate raid.
I am the only survivor...
I speak for all of the lost crew and our captain, it has been a plesure working for Gateway, even in our short partnership. I am greatly upset by this loss, and after taking a few weeks to recover, i will return to Bretonia and take up a more peaceful job.
Im afraid everything was lost in the crash... If the captain hadnt pushed me into that escape pod, i would have died too.

Guten Tag,
over the past few nights, I have to say, I have very little to report. Tonight, however, I saw something I thought wasn't even to exist. A Nomad, identifying itself as "Gleamshrike". It was disturbing. I asked a Liberty Navy officer by the name of Rachel Baker to help me to the border. She was rather nice, escorting me and chatting along the way. She was quite dismayed at me always calling her "Ma'am." Ah, well, a Rheinlander can never be too careful in Liberty these days...
Anyway, I made it back to Bretonia alright, left the Optical Chips I picked up on Los Angeles at Planet Cambridge and made my way to the Battleship Hood. With Gold in hand, I headed to Planet Holstein. The Rheinland Military was outside New Berlin. No enemies were seen. Quite a nice night.
Now for the Hostein night,
~Gunther Koch

Attached is a combined trade log from recent shipping routes. No major piracy action to report - any pirates encountered were evaded, persuaded or driven off by our gunnery team.
A reminder to Trade Captains planning to ship Robotic Components to Dortmund Station - we are approaching the required number of robots for the station's expansion. Approximately ~4500 more robots, or one shipment in our Shetland vessels, needs to be shipped to Dortmund to fufill our end of the contract. Contact each other and make sure you don't bring excess robotic components to the station.

Greetings
Today has been one of the most frustrating days of my career. First to start off with the silly LPI fined my for, Not having correct rear lights. I almost joined to group of passing traders in loudly abusing the LPI for these petty fines. My day was only to get worse, a Xeno decide he didn't want my trade in Liberty and forced me to drop all cargo. After this I was ready to open fire on anyone who dared crossed my path.
