From: Niles Perrywinkel, Captain of the Devonshire
Well, sir, today proved to be profitable! I got call from one of the lead exporters on Planet Leeds. They had an allotment of mining machines destined for Cardif. I snatched them up and double timed it over there. Once there a chap caught up with me asking for my services. Seems he had a large shipment of Beryllum he needed to get to Dortmond station way over in the New Berlin system. I agreed to the contract and away the lads and I went. It was an uneventful journey. We stopped over for a bit at Freeport 1 and I took the liberty of upgrading the Devonshire's turrets to level 4 and had a heavy countermeasure launcher installed also. While the mechanics were installing the new equipment I took a few moments to check the long range sensors. I noticed a few pirates IDs that I recognized were in the systems between me and Dortmond. I called a chap from the [JG]'s, one that called himself Dalilama. I inquired at the availability of his services, but he had to refuse me as he was already escorting 2 transports and was about to call it a day. I considered staying on Freeport 1 over night and checking the sensors in the morning. But then I got a feeling in my bones that told me everything would be alright. So, we got under way again and the rest of the trip was as uneventful as he beginning. We made a quick stop at Stuttgart, as I heard there was a deal to be had on an Advanced Graviton Transport shield. We took off again and after awhile we arrived safely to our destination. During unloading I received a dispatch call from the Gateway offices letting me know that I needed to get over to Bautzen. We did, and of course, the chaps there had a load of diamonds that they just had to get to Planet Leeds immediately, they were supposed to be there yesterday. So when I arrived back on Leeds the people who needed to take possession of the shipment were none too happy of the late arrival. I apologized for the tardiness of the load and gave them a business card.
//I believe that completes my required run.//:laugh:
For a first day on the job, I think the Devonshire did just fine.
Truely,
Captain Niles Perrywinkel
