Gentlemen,
Good news and bad news.
First, good news: I had the pleasure or welcoming Mr. Michael Roseman (Nidhoggr), captain of the Waterford to our ranks this evening. We set him up and then did a nice run to Rheinland and back. Please welcome Mr. Roseman if you see him in space; extend our HGL hospitality!
We, too, engaged the services of Mr. Tarkis - what a coincidence! He is a fine fellow.
WARNING
Bad news: While setting Mr. Roseman up in Leeds, we came across two Borderworld Transports, Cyber and Tye. Both were fully loaded with Plutonium, heading in a trajectory that indicated Kusari. I asked, in system chat, if they knew that was illegal under Bretonian law. They responded angrily, accusing me of needlessly advertising their presence. No pirates were in the area that I know of, so they needn't have worried, unless they were operating illegally.
Anyway, upon returning from our trade run - taking diamonds to Leeds - we encountered them again, upon which they - in their transports! - began attacking me. I called Tarkis from the planet, and we managed to wear the Cyber down such that he had to land. I landed thereafter to restock on bots/bats, during which time Tarkis' ship was destroyed. I relaunched, and Mr. Roseman and I made it safely to Kensington.
I am reporting this incident to BPA. I advise extreme caution if you encounter them in system. Do not engage, and do not initiate conversation.
