CC: Henry VIII, standard report.

I know we are all still in shock from the raid on Scarborough Shipyard. The current death toll stands at 19 personnel confirmed dead, with the additional 72 employees serving aboard the Henry VIII reported missing. In these days of darkness, it is important that we remain strong, and do not bow to the predation of terrorists such as the Slavers Union.

The men and women of the BPA and BAF are doing their utmost to track down, arrest and deal just punishment to those foul beasts who are responsible. I implore any employee who has any additional information regarding the attack to report to the authorities immediately. This transgression shall not go unpunished!

Not all has been a loss though. Recent hours have seen new levels of cooperation with the Zoner founded fledgling mining corporation "Zoner ore extraction". While we will still deal exclusively with our nationalised brothers in the BMM over home gained produce, these Zoners have proved useful in sourcing the rarer materials required for the war effort that our own efforts cannot acquire.

Earlier today, myself at the helm of the Bramall and Mr. Kirkland of the Black Prince picked up the first load of merchandise. A full load of 9,000 units of Iridium were transferred to our ships via ZoE assets in the Magellan system. An agreement over pricing has been reached that will allow us to purchase the raw mineral at $2,000 per unit. This agreement is being formalised in a legally binding corporate contract as we speak.

If you see one of these ships, feel free to seek them out for communications if you have enquires. Otherwise, treat our new-found business partners with the utmost respect. They provide us an important service that would be otherwise unavailable. Oh, and Mr. Kirkland successfully passed the B-word test. Clever chap, if I might say so myself. Diplomatically answered 'mole'.

That's all for now!

Cheero!
