Greetings gentlemen.

I know it had been a while, but I have been busy, and haven't gotten around to filing these reports.

I am hereby pleased to announce that our contract with Hessians is working.
Lionheart, escorted by Mister Tuff and Mister Douglas, had docked with Freital base, the place that our new Rheinland associates have specified is a good source of the Blood Diamonds. We have shipped these, at a later date, to Liberty.

Also, I am happy to announce that we have managed to make first contact with the Blood Dragons.
These Kusari revolutionaries are working to undermine the current government, which had established itself through a coup. I believe that a relationship with these gentlemen, who are working towards sabotaging Kusari economic might, could provide beneficial to Bretonia. I was free to offer them some goods for trade, which I believe they might be lacking, and have in exchange requested that they provide some other goods, that we may find in short supply.

The deal is yet to be settled.

Also, a last thing I shall mention today, is the fact that Mister Roberts and I, and our collective crews, naturally, had a most peculiar experience yesterday.
While we were loading our great ships with cargo in Newcastle, we have picked up strange transmissions on a wide band. Our wireless operators had managed to triangulate the source to near the system's star.
On a closer examination, we have encountered this vessel.
It seems to be some sort of advanced deep space probe, possibly a sentient AI system. It was examining the Newcastle's star, sending probes deep into star's corona.
When we approached it, a communication channel was opened and we were able to contact the entities that were in control of it.
Now, I would like to mention that the said vessel seems quite sturdy. Where our dear old Shires would certainly melt, it stood without any problems, very close to the star's "surface".
After some time, we have learned that the said entity was there to recharge it's power plant, or some other similar activity.
It declares it was attacked by the Kusari fleet and had sustained damage. To put the long story short, the entity had transmitted us scans of some Kusari fleet vessels as well as some Corsair ships it had encountered. These match what we have in our database of these ships. The entities seem friendly, or at least, not hostile to Bretonia.
Roberts and I have assisted it to recharge it's systems by using our weapon arrays on it's receiving arrays. A brute force method, but it worked.
As far as we know, the vessel was escorted out of Bretonian space by the Armed Forces.

This concludes the report of recent activities.

Best regards,

Ian Wills, Acting Bowex Director of Operations

Signing off.
