Greetings All,

As other captains have indicated there has been a Lane Hacker presence, namely a Konrad Von Gloda. My encounter occurred in Shikoku just before the Renzu Shipyards (the destination of my tour group). He was alone in an unarmoured Dromedary of all things! Not wishing to disturb my dining guests with the sounds of battle and due to the pittance of a "donation" he requested I decided to spare him the indignity of being eviscerated in such a public way. He also, at my request preformed a close flyby, which delighted my travelling passengers.

I would assess the threat level to our liners from this individual (with current ship armament) to be very low.

May you have fair winds and following seas!
Steve Jones

Good Day Fellow Capitans.

Last Night the Red Velvet Club Transported some Gin to Planet Nauru wihle the Flight to Nauru was Quiet and Uneventfull for the Way Back we Decided to Give Some Pilgrims a Ride from Freeport 11 to Freeport 1 we Came across a Nomad Vessle Staying outside the Gunrange of the Freeport we Were Fascinated and my Crew Gatherd on the Observation Deck we oserved the Vessle some Time as we Sensed a Humming coming Fromm it and i think in my Mind formed the Vessles Name Loviatar as the Humming increased my Crew and i feeled a bit Dizzy some Reported Disorientatiom and Headaches so i Decided to dock at the Freeport that was the Moment when the Nomad Vessle Atackt us we Sufferd Hull Damage But thanks to the Exelent Damage Control of my Engeniers we Made it to the Freeport where we made Some Repairs (About 100.000 SC) and let the Pilgrims Bord the Ship as we Started we Noticed that Help Arived The Core Warship Unknown_-V- was engaging the Nomad and Scared it enought so that it Fleed after a Short Conversation with the Core Warship we Set Course to Freeport 1 the Rest of the Journey was Uneventfull but this Story Proves that Nomads even when Locking Peacfull can never be Trusted

Good Mornig Director Seabourne.

As You know i had a Cuple of Customers who Wished to Visit the Wrekage of the Hispania but As this Site is Deep within Outcast Teretory i had seen only a Litle Chance of such a Journey a Cuple of days Ago we had an Encounter with an Outcast Fighter wihle we Payed some Insurance as Usual i used The Moment to establish a Contact with his Supirior a Man Named Rodrigo Diaz of Course He was Skeptical at First becouse this would be a rather Unusual Thing we had an Interesting Conversation in the Last Days i know that i had to be Consider you First but i didnt wantet to Bother you for the Case that this would lead to Nothing i used the Highest Encription for the Conversation becouse i dont wanted to Get OS&C in any Troubles i contact you Now becouse We might have A Comon Ground now The Virgin Flight will be Pretty expensive i offerd 30 Million Per Escort in the Thought that this Will be Posible only One Time (lets hope that he wont come With the the whole Outcast Navy) i will Cover the Cost fromt the Acount of the Red Velvet but Mr Diaz Offerd more if this First Tripp went well maybe all OS&C Vessles could make this Journey while we are Having some ties to the Corsairs i think we Should Risk it Maybe we Can form a Treaty that makes OS&C a Neutral Ground for both Factions Furthermore offerd Mister Diaz some Kind of Cultural Exchange i told him that i am Willing to let this Happen when the Artists Cooks an Charmers he Offerd Play by the Rules of the Red Velvet Club and come Unarmed i would even Welcome his Pilots on Board as for Now i am Waiting for his Response of Course this Could also be a Trapp but i am Willing to Risk it i Meet a loot of Outcast in my Junker Times and they ar mostly better than ther Reputatuion his last offer was the Most Suprising He offerd that OS&C Ships can be of the Target List of his Organisation if all went Well. I am looking forward to Your Opinion on This

Greetings Captain,

There is a lot to unpack here. A voyage to the Hispania has been one of my personal dreams since I was a boy watching freighters lift off from Pittsburgh, but whether or not we can trust these outcasts is a dicey matter. In my experience with them, we can trust their enlightened self interest. So long as they know the sure pay day of escorting you beats the risk of whatever they think they can extort out of the Red Velvet Club, I imagine they will hold up their end of the bargain. I would not trust them any further than that, but I think we've built up a reputation for being fast and loose with credits where unique sights are concerned, and it doesn't get much more unique than this. If something does happen, I'll do everything I can for you, of course, but let's hope it does not come to that.

Of course, there are legal concerns. The treaties that allow us to pass through house space ban us from allying with unlawfuls. An ad hoc charter flight that happens to run into some pirates who you have to pay, which then (shocker!) take you back to their home system before deciding to cut you loose is one thing. Routine charter service to Omicron Alpha is another. Tread lightly here, keep plausible deniability whenever you can, and take no action that makes it appear that we are allying with them because we are most certainly not allying with them. If anyone shows up to crash the party, fire only in self defense if fired upon and try not to be seen in the company of pirates. We cannot get too involved in edge world politics without risking our Liberty charter.

And be careful about welcoming them aboard your ship. Cardamine is more of a medication than a narcotic to them, and they won't think twice about bringing a cylinder of the stuff with them because they'll die quickly without it. Liberty won't see it that way if they pick it up on a scan upon your return, though. I am confident you will abide by all house laws when flying through house space. Beyond that is, of course, captain's prerogative. I wouldn't allow the stuff on Breezewood, but then again I have a reputation to uphold to be a clean face for the company. You are free to pursue more... interesting endeavors.

But good work making interesting friends. I hope it will be a trip that is worth all the trouble to your passengers, I just wish I was along for the ride!

Jonathan Seabourne

A very good day to all employees.

I simply wanted to share the great news that the Boundless Pleasure has finally been fitted with a medical bay and has been moved to Baden-Baden where the crew is putting the final touches on it before the big galla event tonight, and the flight tomorrow.

Here is a picture of the new medical bay

Greetings Jack!

Soon it starts, doesn't it? I must admit I envy you for this historical event. You, being able to travers to Gallia for the first time, ah thats something I wished to be able to be part of.
Originally I planed for the Reverie to travel at least a short distance with you, or give some farewells. Unfortunatly she is being refitted at the moment. We were able to get our hands on two medical bays and Freeport 12 provided us with a docking bay. Both things are being installed right now at Baltimore. The whole lower level is completly transformed and under construction. Thus the Reverie can't be present when you and the Boundless Pleasure embark on their journey.
However I as well as the crew of the Reverie bid you a safe journey. And I am eager to hear all the storys when you return. Maybe we can have a few drinks together after your return? So you could give us first hand tales? The other Captains might be interested to, I am sure. Would be nice to have a sort of "social meeting" with you all.

Best regards,
Cpt. Theobald Franklin

Good day everyone.

Where do I even begin with giving a report on our long-awaited opening of the routes to House Gallia?
We made it, the guests are happy, and the crew and I have decided to base ourself in Gallia for the time being, but how did we get here?

Departure from Baden-Baden went according to plan. The BP, along with OSC escort vessels and additional escorts from our partners (the forlorn) embarked on our journey. And that's about when the plans started going haywire. Com issues meant that our scout's reports of hostiles in New Berlin was delayed and the BP along with the remaining escort vessels jumped straight into the wolfs den as a group of Hussarian pilots (wastely outnumbering, and outgunning us) as waiting for us. We were told that they would escort us through Rheinland space and that the Rheinland Navy were no longer in control of the systems. Understandably we complied while telling our guests that we had been met by additional escort vessels (our armada was at that point 10+ combat vessels in addition to the newly upgraded BP).

A tense flight continued as we discussed internally how to proceed, Cpt. Cross piloting the Litle-Velvet, headstrong as she is, decided to contact the Liberty Navy and Jonathan Sawyer. Who would then come to our rescue in Hudson, but I am getting ahead of myself here.

Upon arriving in Hudson we, the OSC + the forlorn and our new Hussarian escorts were met by a group of Unioners which at least matched, perhaps even outnumbered the Hussars(at this point we had already decided to black out the windows of the BP and start the in-flight entertainment 4 hours earlier than planned). Needless to say that the ensuring standoff had everyone tense, with me asking the two parties to decide among themselves, using a dice (a pilot of the Forlorn suggested this) or weapons, to reach an agreement on whether or not we could continue.

This tense stand off dragged out with both Outlaw and Rogue ships arriving. Oh yeah, haha and a Bowex IDed shipped arrived and was ransomed by an unknown number of ships.

Anyhow, the local chat made it impossible to have a rational negotion with anyone and I, as the lead ship, decided simply to wait it out. Just our luck that the Liberty Navy arrived and in the ensuing three-way (or 4?) Mexican stand-off erupted into a frenzied firefight (I later heard that Rheineland Navy joined in and helped the Liberty Navy succeed in driving out all the 'questionable' elements. But yeah, as I was saying, in that crazed state of affairs the whole OSC + the forlorn managed to escape unharmed and make their way to Planet Eriee.

After refuelling and contracting the forlorn to continue their escort all the way to Monte Carlo, we hastily made our way towards New Tokyo, as our scouts had picked up the presences of Liberty Rouge ships in Pennsylvania.

Now flying two escorts half a system ahead and 1 a trade lane behind the convoy made its way safely to New Tokyo where a Kusari law enforcement vessel decided to escort us on our way towards Gallia.

The following stretch of our journey was refreshingly boring compared to the beginning, except for some Nav problems that saw the BP twice leading the convoy in the wrong direction.

Because of this, a local IDF vessel volunteered to show us the way the final leg of the journey, from New Pari to Monte Carlo.

Upon arriving at Monte Carlo a single Marquise bomber appeared but our new IDF friend chased it away.

All in all, I need a glass of wine, and to waste my profits on gambling.
On behalf of the BP and its crew, I would like to thank everyone who participated in this trip.
Oh yeah, the BP is staying on Monte Carlo for now, it's vacation time for me and the crew. Bottoms up Ladies!

Regards,
Cpt. Ashton

Greetings Captain Cross,

I'm glad your encounter with the enclave ended with no one getting hurt. There is no love lost between me and the Royalist forces. The kindest thing I can say about them is that most refrained from firing upon the Breezewood as we desperately evacuated people from Leeds while they glassed the planet. We're proud of the 100,000 we saved, but still scarred by the billions left to die. Those left in the Enclave are the fanatical monsters who are convinced the king did nothing wrong. The only way to avoid an uncivil encounter is to avoid them entirely, which is a course of action I cannot recommend highly enough.
