TO: Mining Division FROM: Rake Kaufman RE: Mining report
Name of the Vessel: [CBM]Trinity Vessel type: Mafic Mining Location: Dublin, Sector 4H Material Mined: Gold ore Escorts hired: None Hostiles encountered: Several Corsair Patrols and a Molly Gunboat Captain- Max O'Reilly
I was out mining with fellow IMG members. It was going just as any other other day when some Corsair patrols showed up. We intercepted them a few klicks away from our mining set-up so that our mining operation was not hampered in anyway. The Trinity has been with me for some time now and we have managed to come out of tight spots. This was no different. We took care of the patrols and resumed our mining operation as soon as we could.
It had just been a few minutes since we got rid of those pests when a Molly Gunboat Captain arrived. He demanded that we drop the weapons that we had just collected from our showdown with the Corsairs. He also demanded for some weapons that I had tractored in while exploring the space in the Dublin system. These weapons came from a shipwreck that is quite difficult to find. I tried to reason with him that not a week ago, I had personally supplied needed goods at the Aranmore base, that this demand goes against our treaty with the Mollies. He was indifferent and mentioned that he personally did not sign the treaty so doesn't care about it. I gave up the weapons as a sign of Peace from IMG. I believe that he could be either ignorant to the clauses of the treaty or that he could possibly be an outcast. I better leave the decision in the hands of our Guild Masters.
We encountered two more Corsair patrol units by the time we finished our operation.
I have just docked back at the Hood. I will be taking some rest now that the report is complete too.
