Konichiwa,
It appears that our diplomatic impasse with Bretonia may have a chance to finally come to an end. The Zoners have come to notice the drastic drop in trade between GMG and Gran Canaria. A situation that hurts both organizations. I have tried, in vain, several times to gain the attention of the Bretonian leadership so that they may provide a responce to this economic crisis, but to no avail. Perhaps a Zoner mediator may help in speeding up the process. Let's face it, having to sneak in and out Bretonia to get the Deuterium we need to refine H-fuel, has started decreased the amount of H-fuel we produce and export. I have to admit, I was beginning to believe that a diplomatic solution would evade us, but in light of the Zoner's concern I will attempt once more to open communications with the BAF expressing our urgency. If I still don't get a responce I will petition the Zoners to send an ambassador to mediate a solution.
For now I ask that you still follow BAF orders if you are stopped for transporting Deuterium and I will remind all tradesmen/tradeswomen to not bring the Deuterium out through the Taus from Bretonia, this is a sure fire way of getting us on their KoS list. I have taken the suggestion of using the Omicrons and Deep Omegas to get to Gran Canaria. This route is definetely plausible, I have completed the trip and I find the route to be quite fast. There is a major downfall though, since we are no longer in the artifact trade with the Corsairs they no longer think twice about targeting our transports and lets face it we are lees than pleased at being cut out of the trade. Patrol after patrol of Corsair Titans can be found down there and if your ship doesn't have a solid hull with armour expect your journey to be cut short. This route is for the experienced only.
