Subject: Mining Operations of yesterday
Dear Sirs,
I am now reporting relevant events during my mining operations yesterday.
We stationed at Tau-23 northwest fields for yesterday, and witnessed they were being heavily mined.
There was an IDF Barge repeatedly broadcasting advertisements for their own niobium business.
In the meantime, a GC bomber dropped by and taxed a nearby IC transport, leaving all others alone.
She teased me a bit due to the niobium deposits I was dropping nearby floating in space, but she left a short while after.
Eventhough I tried to sell my mining services to one of the nearby transports, he claimed he got a better deal with a nearby miner.
For the sound of it, they were selling the niobium ore to the IDF.
The unusual event that marked the morning for me was the ship MNS-Ravnos's captain contacting me on a secure channel regarding "outcast rebels".
At the time, I had no idea of what he was talking about. Since I am still a recruit and am not yet familiarized with much of the internal affairs of IMG, I suggested he contacted higher ranks.
The nature of the speech was quite friendly for an Outcast. I was pleasantly surprised.
I then went to Planet Denver on my Miner, via Kusari Space to sell additional niobium ore.
I later returned to Java Station with a shipment of pharmaceuticals and med supplies from Planet Denver
This concludes my report on my mining operations for yesterday.
Austin out.
