Right, set off from Liberty today, after dropping a load of Luxury Food off at Planet Denver the previous night. We were about to head back to Manhattan when some sales rep from Ageria contacted me to say that a transport they were going to use to haul some Gate Components to the BMM construction site in Tau 23 had broken down - some sort of engine failure. Because of that they asked if I could run the load for them so they'd keep up with their quota. I filled out some security forms and paid a deposit, then set off.

Richard met me in Cortez after flying down from Leeds, and then we headed back up through Bretonia to reach the Taus, dodge the yellow dogs that daily assault us from Kusari and finally drop the goods off. I was jolly well relieved when we arrived - without any damage at that.

We picked up a shipment of Beryllium and then headed back down through Bretonia (Cambridge this time) to drop the stuff off in Rhienland. The journey through the Omegas was uneventful; dull even. However, once we reached New Berlin things livened up.

Me and Richard put our musical talents to use once more to cheer up the beleaguered defenders of New Berlin, who seemed to be rather under the weather, with all the Hessian invaders and what-not. I do believe we sang another verse of 'Rule Bretonia', then treated them to a short snippet of 'God Save the Queen'. Despite our good intentions, the local Fed' HQ ship seemed to have a problem, saying he had "officers sleeping onboard". Richard then raised the jolly good question of, "Who plugs sleeping officers into system communication frequencies?" Inhumane I tell you! They must never get a good night's sleep!

Either way, I struck up another song as we left the system, much to the consternation of the Control Ship who then scrambled all my outgoing comms. Rather uncalled for I thought.

Either way, things were rather dull again until we hit Omega 7, where all manner of debris had been scattered across the space in front of the trade lane. Richard took a quick scan, and found no less than six(!) completely undamaged Transport Turret Mk 4s! We managed to sell one of the turrets to a trader in Omega 3, but the rest have yet to find a home. We stored them on the Henry VIII.

Well that's that. Oh, actually no it isn't; just a quick update on Tiddles - he's hidden somewhere in the engineering decks. I do rather believe it's because the Navigator, John, has been feeding him Catnip... Well, now that is all.

Cheerio!
