Gentlemen,
An excellent run today! The Exeter, Exmouth, and I in the Trafalgar took beryllium to Dortmund. We then proceeded to Bautzen in Dresden for diamonds. Pirates were in the area, but none came near us.
However, jumping back into New Berlin from Dresden, we were halted by two Hessian pirates near Brandenburg. They demanded 1 mil from each of us, and I was in the process of asking them why they felt they deserved such - given their evident and brazen sense of entitlement - when a "Mr. Thirsty" suddenly came to our assistance, attacking the two pirates. Between his assistance and our turrets, the pirates were held off long enough for us to escape. Mr. Thirsty's ship was unfortunately destroyed in the process.
I have promised him a 5 million credit reward for his selfless act of assistance. Any HGL employee may pay him, and I will reimburse you. Once you pay, however, please report here so we know it has been taken care of.
Mr. Constantine and I have just returned to Kensington to retire. Mr. Dee of the Gibraltar joined us as we were nearing Leeds to unload the diamonds, and he and Mr. Gilroy have left for another run.
All in all, a good day for us, gentlemen. Well done!
