Subject: Ion clouds
Good day to you HQ. Pleasure to report in that many of the runs we here on the Agincourt have been doing have been, for the most part, uneventful. There have been many standard trips from Kensington out to the Taus to visit the IMG's Java Station with mining equipment. Of course, on the return we bring Niobium back to Kensington for our small transports to bring to places in Liberty or Rheinland.
As for my most recent trip, ship hull pannels from Bretonia's pride yards on Leeds into Rheinland to drop them off at Oder in New Berlin, it wound up being an uneventful eve. On the return trip, I checked our open contracts and found out that the IMG at Aland Shipyard needed Engine Components. As I was awaiting the lads at Oder to fill up the Agincourt, I was contacted by none other than Mr Buchanan! Having never met our fine former-CEO, I did my best to be diligent.
Upon leaving the shipyard I... Well, things started to get weird. Seemed fine at first but my Shetland's shipboard computers were having a hard time initiating the tradelanes. Met up with Mr Buchanan's Trafalger shortly after leaving, I think. See the problem is that my poor ship's scanner was now malfunctioning and the Trafalger was popping on and off the scanner like a whack-a-'sair game, you know, the ones we had when we were little... ahh I used to love those. Bother, I shouldn't get distratect in an official report, where was I? Ah yes, so we depart from Rheinland and all is well, other than the scanner and lane problems.
We reached Aland, I dropped off my containers and grabbed some Toxic Waste that needed to be incinerated. As we passed Cambridge, I of course had to stop to visit me mum, god bless her she's still well at 85. From here I'll be taking this shipment, under escort from the BAF per regulations of course, to LD-14. That is as soon as the lad's at the moor point can fix the Agincourt's systems.
