Guten Tag liebe Hessen,
I wish to make a report on a smuggling run with blood diamonds. I started from Northeim Base in Omega 54 with a cargohold of 3175 Blood Diamonds with the plan to deliver them to Pennsylvania and flood the Liberty market with our diamonds. Using the Jumphole network i jumped over Dresden, Stuttgart, Koeln, Hamburg and Hudson to Texas. So far, the journey was quite uneventful.
In Texas though problems started to surface. First of all, the Jumphole to California seemed to be destabilized as docking was not possible and the Ship VI identified the hole as "in use", propably because the sensors of my Borderworld Transport could not identify the exact problem with the connection. Therefore to all Hessians: Be careful when planning a Route using the California hole in Texas.
As the Jumphole was unavaiable I decided to use the New York jumphole and then proceed to Pennsylvania. Sadly I was stopped by an unknown ship that seemed friends with a Nomad... very suspicious. The unknown ship then destroyed my ship and cargo in the New York system, but luckily I escaped with my life without being nomadified.
Deciding that I could not give up, I decided to flood our home of Rheinland with Blood Diamonds instead (as a propaganda measure), i quickly aquired a new ship and delivered a cargohold to Leipheim Base in Munich. This trip was uneventful and more importantly, sucessful.
I am now reporting the sucessfull flooding of the entire Munich market with our diamonds, while police and Military are completely unable to cope with the amount of the shiny red jewels in the system.
All in all a sucessful propaganda run.
Note: Recommend relaying the information about unstable Jumphole to our allies and neutral factions important to us to avoid further losses.
