Captain's Log Entry:
Departed Elysium base in Vespucci and flown to Magellan Jump Hole and warped to Magellan.
Went to California System to Planet Los Angelous to buy some Food Rations, Oxygen and Water for Elysium and went back to Elysium to deliver the goods.
Again departed Elysium and warped to Magellan system through the Magellan Jump Hole.
Flown past the Freeport 4 Wreck to get into the trade lane to the Manchester Jump Gate. Sometimes I wish Freeport 4 would get rebuilt again so that it could be used again.
Jumped to Manchester and took the trade lanes all the way to the Jump Gate of New London System and went through it.
Flown all the way to Planet New London to buy all the Reinforced Alloys needed for Elysium base. Returned back to Elysium for delivering the goods once again.
Supplies Delivered to Elysium: 800 Food Rations
800 Water
800 Oxygen
15000 Reinforced Alloy
Captains log:
When I got up Ready to go Deliver a load of Reinforced alley to Elysium from Good, old New London for a Million Credits which always always gives me the load requirement I need of alleys.
As I was Paying the cash as the New London Team was putting the alleys in my cargo hold, I had to Go due to a mate called up and require assiastances, Which Stoped me in my tracks. After I got back, like seven or so hours later, I was good again. As I was in flight I got a Sectured Message from Dan Gunsmith about needing me.
I responded to him, and Flew back as quick as can. As I was on my way back I Sore a Hostle Contact on Radar and in Range. Scanned and was about to prepare my Lines to say, Without thinking my Mind forced my scanners to scan them. Turned Fine as the Target was a non-Treat. Thank Goodness.
Delieveried a load half hour of flight later. Checked For Dan outside, No sign of him so, I just docked again and went back studing.

Nothing else, has happened apart from these Hulling Alleys.
Captain's Log Entry:
After waking up and eating breakfast, I did some analysis on Elysium and realized it needs lots of Food Rations, Oxygen and Water, so I flown immediately to Planet Los Angelous in California System to get some.
Was smooth sailing all the way without any pirates, had lots of time watching the beauty of space.

Captains log:
As I was starting up "Hauler". I Been thinking about Captain Deree. Hasn't seen him in a few days now, I hope the Pirates hasn't Captured him. But I know a Guy like him, Wouldn't Lose a fight like that. Besides, He knows his way around the Universe and can get back to us if he needs to.
Anyways, I've Launch to Space and flew all the way to new London, Who doesn't like New London.. Well I don't, its not like home in Liberty but its nice. As I land and parked my Transport in the Loading Bay which is always open for me to land. The loading team sore me, and instantly went into work putting alleys in my cargo bay. Payed them like always
As I was about to departure, I quickly went toilet on New London and went back into space and Headed to Elysium. As I was flying back, I put the computer on auto return to Home. As it flew back I had to check my computers as they were needing of updating. As I token control again, I Noticed There was these.. Poor Pirates in space that was like Hopelessly Drifting.,wished I could bring them with me but My ship didn't have Build in holding cells.
After Half an hour to Forty-five minutes later, I got to Elysium and unloaded like always and fill in a report and put it on the report Board afterwards, went to have a drink before heading to my quarters and await for Instructions from anyone who's in need of help. Moment later before I handed in this report, I got message from my computers though my wrist band saying the updates are complete for another mission.
Sender: DSM)-T.HighTemplar
Recipient: Dan Gunsmith
Subject: Transportation report
I checked the station log and noticed we still required about 1800 tons of industrial hardware for the upgrade. On my first run I went to New York to acquire this, but just as I was beginning to dock with Trenton Station I saw a Liberty Rogue bomber inbounds from one of the debris fields beyond Manhatten, from the Fort Bush region. There was a brief exchange as the docking was proceeding, but basically he arrived too late to do anything. Because I wasn't sure what was going to happen I didn't get a whole cargo hold of industrial hardware, but just a little more than the station said we needed. As I exited I could see him on scope in the tradelane to West Point, I had noticed some weapons platforms near Long Island Station, took cover next to them and waited. In theory at least that amount of extra firepower plus my own should have been enough to deter the pirate. I waited, eventually a freelance transport came along and noticed the pirate retreated to the West Point area. Shortly after, he left the area, and I proceeded with my route as originally planned, arriving in Elysium with no further difficulties.
On my next run I carried a load of reinforced alloy from New London, then continued to Pittsburgh to run boron to Lancaster Trading Center in Newcastle, before making my final run from New London back to Elysium. Nothing else of note occured.
Total supplies delivered:
1x1900 industrial hardware
2x3990 reinforced alloy
Captain's Log Entry:

After I got back, like seven or so hours later, I was good again. As I was in flight I got info a Convocation with Captain Okesii of the DSM)-T_C.
It didn't token him long to respond to my Transmission to him. As We were flying to get our Reinforced alleys from our own Spots by own spots. As I was talking to him, I was thinking who owned the Station that still Confuses me to this day. Blackpool Production Factory is and who owns it.
by reckons Captain Okesii thinks its the BHG ( Bounty Hunter Guild ). After a while I was returning with a Cargo bay of Reinforced alleys. As I was doing last Leg to Base, I sore some Sparta Ships, funny to watch, Sadly it didn't last long so I just flew back and make it with plenty of time to spare for study and time to relax before hear another Transmission for another Mission.

[16:57:02] DSM)-T_C-25.Altair: Not the way I see it. It's much safer, from my experience, to stay away from the trade lanes

-Transmission Went quiet-
Okay, activity log time. Let's do this. Where to start? We all received new orders from President Gunsmith that our contracts with outside agencies were taking... more time to fill than he would have liked, and he encouraged those of us with capable transports to venture out and secure resources for Elysium's expansion project. Of course I'm ungodly slow to the party, so by the time I got the ship ready and checked the manifests, there weren't too many items we still needed. Let's see...
"20K PlasFoam Conduits", that's 4 trips to Kyushu. No problem, I know those jumps through the Taus easy enough. Templar radioed me and told me I was crazy for going that route as opposed to the safer trip through the lanes of Liberty, but I really disdain that route. The Taus have been relatively quiet lately anyway. On my second or third trip I did meet a Kusari Imperial Navy pilot who casually inquired as to my errand. I pretty much just left him with a "hello" and nothing more as I jumped the Silver Lining up to cruise speed. Had no other encounters during those 4 hauls. Deliver 20K PlasFoam Conduits - check.
"36K High-Performance Alloys", oh geez, that's like 7 trips up to Scarborough in Newcastle. Not the most fun route. I'd almost rather fly into a neutron star. Oh well, work is work! After just one or two trips I got a message on the general DSM comm from Captain Lourens Van Burick of the Nightingale. He was all up in arms over an apparent lack of Reinforced Alloy deliveries lately. Can't say I blame him. They are pretty damn important, and I can't remember the last time I brought any back myself. Thankfully I was already headed to Bretonia anyway, so I punched in a slight navigation modification and diverted to Trafalgar. Most of our team prefers to pick up in New London, but the Junkers in Trafalgar are a more entertaining crowd than the stiffs in New London. Not to mention they pour much stiffer drinks! Emergency delivery of 29K Reinforced Alloys - check.
Setting off once again on my route for High-Performance Alloys, on my way through Magellan I couldn't shake the feeling that I was being watched. Then I got a screaming notification from the ship's computer: "Incoming missile!". Goddamnit, I hate being right all the time. Nearly broke my neck being pulled out of cruise speed that fast. I checked the scanners and saw my assaulter: a Lane Hacker. Great. "What are you doing?" He asked. I told him "I'm playing the piano, what's it look like?" I don't think he appreciated my sarcasm, but I wasn't interested in conversation. Time is money in my profession and this guy was annoying. I asked him straightforward how much I could pay him to go away. At first he gave some stupid remark about how I couldn't just buy my way out of all of my problems. Great, I came across the only "righteous" pirate in all of Sirius. Stupid. I'm thinking "I have no cargo you idiot, you're either going to take my money or blow me up. Either way, get on with it." As I suspected, he eventually did ask for money (go figure, right?), but it was only one million credits. Hah! Chump change. I'd have paid him five times that before I even started to complain. I made the transaction and told him to go space himself, then I made the jump to Manchester to continue my route.
A couple hours later, on my final run to Scarborough I'm again flying through Magellan in the last lane to Manchester. Suddenly at the second-to-last lane ring I'm forced out of the lane. Another damn Lane Hacker! This guy's name was LH-Jaws. It was more memorable than the last guy's name. I fired the cruise engine, but he interdicts me. "Fine" I thought, I'm not far from the gate, let's see what happens. I kept the engine running at about 80 and crept toward the gate. This guy is even more nonchalant than the last one. He says "Fancy a chat?" At this point I'm just laughing. "Time is money, so you better chat fast" was my reply. I didn't even see his response, because by then I'd made it to the Manchester gate. With the right positioning and a quick punch of the coordinates, I jumped through the gate and left the Hacker behind. I knew now I'd have to be quick because I was pretty certain he was going to follow me as soon as he figured out I'd gotten ahead of him. As soon as I came out of the gate I punched it for the trade lane. Success! The lane activated just as I picked up the Hacker coming out of the gate behind me. "I've got you now buddy" I'm thinking to myself and laughing out loud to no one in particular. He followed me through the next couple of lanes, past Sheffield and on toward Birmingham. As I took the last lane toward the New London Gate, all I could manage to laugh out over the comm was "Too slow, Hacker!" That was the last I saw of him. I think someone ran him down a little later back in Magellan. That's the chatter I overheard while I was loading up the last of the alloys at Scarborough. The way home was clear and uneventful. Deliver 36K High-Performance Alloys - check.
Hell of a day. Think I'll get a drink and some sleep back at Elysium.
