Subject: Azurite Gas Mining Review

Good day.

After the President requested that we review the Azurite Gas mining operation, I sent a transmission to the Core and arranged a live demonstration as well as protection considering the dangers of the region. Then I accessed my transport after a long time and headed for Omicron Rho.

My ship was carrying high quality metals (Premium Scrap) which I delivered to the Shipyard and at the same time I met with Jack Daniels, now serving as Acting Director for APM (Advanced Production & Manufacturing). We talked about a number of issues and I also asked him about Invicta Research Complex. Apparently this modular station, hovering right above Alabama, is selling Azurite Gas. That is exceptional news for our ships as they may not need to venture deep into Omicron Delta in order to procure Azurite Gas. The base is selling the product at a rate of 3,500 SC per unit.

After my transport unloaded all the cargo we departed for Planet Nauru in Omicron Delta, where Mr Daniels got into one of their APM mining ships. We then cruised to the mining location... It appears this is a superstructure of some sorts, we don't know who built it and the interior was equally nothing I have ever seen. Mr Daniels started talking about "aliens" and I had to cut him short because he was becoming too crazy with his theories. Nevertheless I felt extremely fragile and vulnerable in this location, so I definitely recommend all our transports to start mining operations only under heavy escort.

There were also some concerns from our Department of Trade that the yields are too small and the mining process takes too long. That is not the case, at least any longer, the mining is proceeding very quickly and smoothly. In a few minutes my cargo hold was filled with Azurite Gas. After that we quickly evacuated the region and returned to Planet Nauru. There I asked Mr Daniels about their renowned thrusters. He explained to me that the construction process is much more complex than the common variant. The thruster is composed from metals that are exceptionally hardened using chemicals which he did not disclose and this property along with a new burning method makes the thruster much more stable and resilient. I must admit that I was impressed and I already installed one on my Taurus.

I spent the night there before returning back to Liberty via the Kusari corridor since our license request for Rheinland has not yet been approved. We have also started talks with the LSF in an effort to find prospective buyers for the product. Furthermore, we are close to finalizing the leasing contract for Sirius Base Construction.

That is all for now.
