Greetings friends,

After our foray into Dublin, we went back to our standard route, the Paradise Limited (Curacao - Baden Baden - Manhattan/Pittsburgh). We managed to get through Bretonia and the Omegas without incident save for a taciturn exchange of credits with a pirate flying Junker colors. Flying out of Rheinland, I settled in for an uneventful flight through Liberty only to be stopped at the Hudson gate on the Rheinland side.

The Xeno "Ridgenose" greeted me on the other side. Obviously our politics with the Xenos are... complicated, but this one seemed civil enough, only wanting a cigar from the humidor. Having plenty to spare, I sent one over and we proceeded to talk about the politics of the Rheinland and Liberty civil wars. Some Navy folk showed up, but they did not seem intent on giving the Xeno too hard a time. Things were tense, but civil, until the FTP showed up.

I don't know if there's bad blood between the Junkers and the Xenos or what, but the Free Trade People interrupted Ridgenose's top tier banter with laser fire, which made for better fireworks but less drama for the passengers on board. The FTP gunboat and fighter teamed up to take out the Xeno, much to the disappointment of the ship's observation lounge and betting windows.

However, the gunboat was carrying Nomad ordinance, which lead to another tense standoff with the Navy ships. When the Xeno Viper showed up to avenge his colleague, I decided that Breezewood was pushing its luck and went for the tradelane at the advice of the Navy. It was a good thing, too. As we came out of the lanes at Cold Bay, we saw a handful of Rogue ships enter the lane heading for the Hundson gate. Seems word travels fast, and once the shooting started, EVERYONE wanted a piece of the action.

Long story short, I salvaged the cigar from Ridgenose's debris. Next time we cross paths, I owe them a smoke.

Regards,
