So, I'm back on the Victoria after almost four days. My trip to Manhattan didn't turn out as promising as I expected. To be honest, it was a complete waste of time. Those Synth Foods jerks were looking for contractors that are either idiots or geniuses when it comes to efficiency. So either I have too much common sense or I'm too stupid for my business - I couldn't meet their price one way or the other. That's a problem. Mr. Magoon informed Lewis and me this morning that Planetform isn't going to renew our contracts for the Harris shipments because of the Tau-31 embargo. I'm afraid we have to sell the Queen Elizabeth - we can't afford the costs for keeping her in drydock any longer and we're far from raising the funds for the repair. Boy, that hurts. We need some new contracts for the Victoria. And we need them quick.

At least I managed to hire a new weapon officer: Ms. Gates. It's a crazy universe. I need a new chief gunner and the first woman I talk to in a bar turns out to have quite some experience with ship defense systems. I was really surprised that she sent a message after our little chat in the "Autopilot" at all. She can't be worse than Paul, can she? I'll give her a shot, literally. There's something mysterious about her and I don't mean the fact that she didn't tell me her first name yet. A beautiful woman in an Armed Forces bar who has just lost a job she doesn't want to talk about and who wants to leave Leeds so desperately that any opportunity is good enough. I like her. Probably it's not just the chance to leave Leeds that makes her want to join my crew...

Now, time to take a shower, her shuttle will arrive in about one hour. Ah, yes, speaking of shuttles, I almost forgot to upload the shot I took from the Victoria while a shuttle was taking me up to her again. Isn't she a beauty?

- Logan out.
