Gentlemen,

I highly recommend placing the deuterium run from O-49 off limits to our newer Traders.

While attempting to escort Trader Mc home from Gran Canaria, I was severely damaged twice by an SCRA Gunboat, who has apparently been paying attention to KNT movements. A surprise in itself, as the majority of SCRA pilots are bibbling idiots.

I commend Trade Mc for bravery under fire. He was severely damaged in the first attack himself, but continued on while I was forced to return to Canaria for repairs. Unfortunately his escape path took him near Amerigo guard base before I could warn him of the consequences, and he lost the valuable cargo we were entrusted with. After the second attack in the southern ice fields of Tau-31, he was able to escape north to Kusari space.

I am still affecting repairs on Gran Canaria. I apologize to Trader Mc and the KNT leadership for several tactical blunder of my own during the mission. We do not want to lose our valuable bonding agent, Independant traders, due to excessive insurance claims. Thus my recommendations to cease operations on this route.

In shame,
Merci, F-23
