Well, I seem to have quite forgotten my paperwork. Was a bit lazy, I guess, and since we started getting deliveries from the Mollies' distiling wonders in Java, I am too often in the bar, he he...
Anyway, I have been somewhat bussy in the fields lately. Indie ship captans are not so common as they used to be, but some come still. And Junkers are quite often guests at Java too, especialy some .:J:. fellas - the... ah... what's'is name.... and he had a partner...Damn, I have to cut off the single malt...
Anyway, people are again comin' for niobium, but the prices are down. I hear the same from Vernon in Dublin. FTU is killin' our profit, and then some. I am hard pressed to work for 3000 SC a piece on the niobium ore - traders are declinin' higher prices. Hard to blame them - routes are dangerous, and if someone offers lower price, that's where they'll go.
Ah, I got it - the Stooge.Cake was one of the Junkers, and the other lad had s strange name too... My best customers, to be sure. Haulin' a lot, and to Rheinland too, no Gallia for them. 3000 is nor the price from the good days, but the lads come often - I like repeat customers - and the fields are good to us these days.
There seems to be new non-union IMG members around too - miners and haulers. I filled one today - on an armorless crane "East.Seventeen" /people and their ship names.../. Couldn't take 'im for more than 3000 - the lad was too likely to lose the cargo to pirates or the never enough damned Wilde in the Sigmas, no armor and all. He did ask for me to escort 'im, but then I was bussy for like a minute and he disapeared on me. Ah, safe skies to him and may Ifni watch over the lad.
There's this other lad - Han.Solo's his ship - that used to come too. Last I saw 'im he was too much in play with the BMM types, so be aware - he might not be a good customer now.
And that's all for now. I am off.
