From: Captain Eli Eales To: Gateway Reporting Facility Subject: Commerce report log #2
Today was a busy day!
My last trade run ended when Captain Pagasi and I delivered military grade vehicles to New London. No sooner had I offloaded my cargo that I received complaints on the condition of the mechs from Nuremberg. Not wanting to ruin the fine reputation of Gateway I begged the Army the chance to test all of the merchandise for damages. For a moment I could tell they were reluctant, we are at war after all, but after seeing my Navy record they quickly gave in. Gents, you have yet to live until you drive 45 tons of steel over planet New London.
After paying a few hundred credits for minor repairs the Army accepted the mechs and put in a request for more. However, before I could head to my ship, I saw a lady crying at the gates to the Army base. Being the dapper gentleman that I am I offered her a handkerchief and a sympathetic ear. It turns out her husbands' gunship was reported Missing In Action near the Inverness system. I do apologize if this goes against any of the companies rules, but I will not leave our boys in distress. With the aid of a bounty hunter named Commander Lingos we proceeded to the Cortez system. Luck with us that moment for we found both the jump hole to Inverness and the escape pods of two gunships! All crew members are now in capable hands of New London medical center.
