"Greetings sirs and madams,
I apologize for the tardiness of my montly report, but I was busy making profit for RepEx.
I have been pleased to see many new shipping designations floating around, which will certainly increase profits and our viability.
The other day I was just entering scanner range of Bonn Station from Stuttgart, and I had heard warning of a pirate being in system, so I was going to avoid the lower trade lane.
Well, a Blood Dragon Gunboat undocked from Bonn Station!!
My gunner immediately opened fire, as did the gunners on the Battleship Strausberg. The Dragon went right for me and my pilot made that bulky, unco-operative ship sing! He danced and avoided the incoming fire long enough for the battleship to destroy the gunboat!!
The rest of my trade route that day was peaceful.
The next day I meet up with Jimmy, who is RepEx-Shipping|666. He is new to the company and I showed him a few trade routes throughout Sirius. He does need a better shield though.
In Cambridge we ran into [OPG]Asno, who managed to extort 25million credits from me so that Jimmy and I had safe passage through Cambridge today and tomorrow.
These [OPG] have attempted to pirate me before, and I suggest that whenever they are sighted on long-range scanners they are avoided.
Finally, I wish to say "Hi" to all the new employees, if you need anything just use the secure "mwerte" subchannel."
