Subject: Situation report

Message reads:

Sir,
To inform you of a situation I encountered today, I am filing this report. While moving Deuterium from GC in Omega-49 up to Deshima base, I was stopped by a BPA agent. BPA Stuart. Paddock informed me that Deuterium was a military item and that since there was a war going on it could not be shipped outside of Bretonian space. I tried to explain that I was using to resupply a BHG station that supplied us with alot of our weapons and ships but he was having nothing to do with that. I talked with APM HQ to get a destination for the Deuterium inside Bretonian space and was directed to Plannet Harris in Tau-31. I asked BPA Paddock for an escort, which he happily provided. Since I had never been there before I took the trade lane to the center of the system and headed to Harris from there. Now I am not sure what the dispatcher was thinking when he omitted the fact that Harris is surrounded by mines. After dodging the mines and outcasts was I able to land safely on Harris. I sold the cargo and quickly headed back to safer space.

The main reason for this message is to inform you of the seemingly new rules for certain cargo items that we carry. Hopefully you can speak with the BPA and BAF to resolve the issues or atleast get us the new rules for shipping.

Captain Szerath Blackstone out
