Greetings, All!
A fair day today indeed! Mr. Koch and I entered into space (from two separate points) to find our new recruit ready for setup. I therefore have the pleasure to announce the hiring of Mr. James Calvert, captain of the Darrowby. Please give him a warm welcome.
Mr. Koch could not stay due to systems malfunctions. However, Ms. Esther Carson - a capable escort I've hired before - offerred her services, which we gladly accepted. At about the same time, we found Mr. Bowman flying the Kingstone. The four of us then formed a convoy and did a run to Rheinland and back. No major troubles along the way, so it was a pleasant maiden run for Mr. Calvert.
Oh, I should say that Mr. Koch, Mr. Calvert and I ran into a Bowex vessel, the Chamberlain in Cortez. I believe it may have been their CEO himself. Not a gentleman, though that should not come as a surprise. Be cautious with any Bowex ships you may meet. They may attempt to goad you into a confrontation, as they have in the past, but do not succumb. Remember, they'll stop at nothing to shut us down, so let's not give them a reason.
