// My forum account with which I'd begun this thread hasn't been working since the recent downtime, however this forgotten-about 4 year old account works fine!! Rather than pester the already annoyed and busy forum admins, I'll pick up the narrative using this old account. //
Things have kept steady at a frenetic pace.
Bowex has needed a lot of help getting minerals to Liberty and electronics back to Bretonia. I've been also having to sometimes go to Rheinland via the Omegas, which can be nervous work since the Corsairs, who are an annoyance within Bretonia, are simply a deadly hazard in the southern passage to Stuttgart.
I had the curious spectacle of having the corsairs who were attacking me get chased off by some outcasts in Omega-3. I made a quick exit while they were fighting one another since I'm sure the Outcasts would've taken up where the Corsairs left off once they had the upper hand.
I never thought I'd be so happy to see Rheinland military ships as I was when I passed into Stuttgart proper.
The good news is that all this work has allowed yet another ship upgrade.
Right at home on Leeds, I was able to pay 12 millions for a shiny new Percheron. A relative bargain since it carries half the load of a train at less than 1/10th the price.
I'm still dreaming about that Bretonia Train though, and the Perch's 2500 cargo may well help us get there.
For now though, a hard days work is done, and the object of my current dream is a frothy pint or two.
