OSC Command,
After receiving the mayday call from the OSC|Atlantis, I rushed to her aid. Unfortunately the appearance of Lane Hackers hindered my response and I was forced to retreat. However with the cover of an escort provided by Robert Gale and the Liberty police force engaging the threat, I managed to conduct a number of evacuation runs and deliver engine supplies to get her moving again.
The passengers were temporally transferred to the Battleship Rio Grande for safety and have since been moved to Planet Curacao. Due to the stress the event has caused i would recommend we offer them compensation of some kind.
I will be making a supply run of gin, coffee and donuts to the Rio Grande to say thank you for their support during this incident.
Wishing all captains less stressful flights in the future!
Regards
Cpt Simon Swift

Director Blackwood and Captain Swift,
Gentlemen I am relieved to hear the Atlantis escaped without loss of life, these past few months have proven to be some of the most difficult we've faced and yet our staff continue to demonstrate their resilience in the face of adversity. You have both performed an exemplary service for OSC which I will be making a personal note of in your files along with some well deserved rewards.
As for the LPI and Navy pilots who assisted in the rescue, I believe we can happily accommodate a week's holiday on Curacao for each, the details I will leave to you Captain Blackwood and Captain Swift please charge that delivery to my personal account.
Take some well deserved rest gentlemen.

Chairman Pines,
Earlier this evening I ran into a most unusual situation. While entering the New York system two vessels, one apart of Battlegroup Auxesia, the other later introduced himself as Lord Commander Samuel Locklear, of the Hellfire Legion. They spoke to me for a moment. Luckily for us the Legion views Orbital Spa and Cruise favorably. They offered and escorted me to Cortez from New York, we talked along the way. The Legion member went as far to suggest that we scout a territory referred to as the Commonwealth of Liberty and place a liner within for tourists to visit. I figure we should at least entertain a scouting mission, if nothing more than to keep the Hellfire interested in our services.
Regards,
James Blackwood
Director of New Business

Director Blackwood,
If anyone else had sent me such a report, I would assume it was a practical joke.
The Hellfire Legion is not a group that springs to mind when I consider new business opportunities, granted there hasn't been a single report across my desk that has listed them as hostile towards any OSC vessel. In fact the few records that mention Hellfire describe them as neutral and at least one occasion of protection from an act of piracy yet their hostility towards the government forces of Liberty is a source of great contention.
Hmm.
I will consent to the survey mission as a show of good faith and to maintain the equilibrium only If you can come to an agreement with the Legion that ensures the safety of our team.
Proceed with care Blackwood, report back to me with any further developments.

OSC Command,
Many thanks for supporting me through my ALCE's. It has been a pleasure captaining the OSC|Gibraltar and its with great personal pride to announce that my crew has also been successful with their request to be transferred to the new Renzu liner OSC|Mindoro.
I will be conducting a number of drills and system checks in the coming week to ensure the ship and crew are working at full potential before putting her into normal scheduled running.
Best Regards
Cpt Simon Swift

I have an urgent report regarding the food shortage on Planet Crete.
Whilst on board the Hawaii I over heard a Corsair pilot talking about the food crisis on their home world Crete. I decided to check on the situation myself and headed to the planet. In orbit around Crete I conversed with a number of Corsairs and they seemed concerned about the food shortage and welcoming of any aid supply we could offer. After being allowed to de-orbit, I flew at a low altitude picking through the mountainous terrain in my Arrow. From my cockpit the reasons for the food shortage became clear, little farming space and a growing population are straining the resources, though not yet a full blown famine, I can envision this getting much worse.
I understand the political complexities but I cant see why we should not help the civilian population, this could be done covertly, to keep the Corsairs sweet, or we would use this as a PR advantage, showing we are keeping to our humanitarian aid promise and simply state that this is to relieve the suffering of the civilian population.
I will leave this with you command..
Regards
Karen Banks

Miss Banks,
The situation with the Corsairs is beyond complex, it is a spiderweb of contradiction, political fallout and potential mass murder. Should we tip the scales too far we face the wrath of the House governments, too far the other way and the wrath of the Corsairs and their allies could cause unthinkable carnage. A truly terrifying state of affairs.
In this case, I believe the Humanitarian Mission must be upheld over poltical risk, our inaction would cause innocent people to suffer and that is not something I wish upon my conscience. To that end I will authorise a single misson of mercy to the Corsair people, should it prove to be successful and without incident I will allow further missions.
Still I would urge caution, the very act of supplying a known pirate group regardless of reason could place us in a very uncomfortable position.
Keep me informed.

I understand the commands position and will organise the aid run with the up most diligence to ensure the safety of our image. However I believe inaction in this case would be a greater crime. With the blessing of OSC command I will continue my work here and hopefully we can help alleviate the crisis. I will report back once the aid mission has taken place.
Regards
Karen Banks

To OSC command,
After hearing about the report made by Karen Banks on the situation on Crete I decided to offer my service. She informed me to load various items of cargo which would aid the civilian population and travel to Sigma 19. My cargo manifest was as follows:
As I have little knowledge of these systems Karen Banks had scouted a route from Sigma 19 through Omicron Theta to Omicron Gamma. The route proved to be direct and with few obstacles other than the asteroid field in the Malvada Cloud. Which slowed my progress a little. After clearing the field planet Crete fades into view a beautiful sight I must say, a sight which, for a moment at least makes you forget that this planet is struggling.
After docking the cargo unloading took place. The process was well organised and the ground crew seemed genuinely relieved for the aid, well at least from where I was standing as I am not allowed to leave my hanger bay whilst planet side.
I can only hope that the aid gets to where it needs to go...
I am currently readying the ship and crew to return to Cortez
