Hello everyone,
Hope i find you all well. Some strange things are afoot mates. I have discovered that Kusari are asking Rhineland to take some prisoners as thier prisons are full. If some of these happen to be Bretonian i can see some trouble ahead methinks. Please find attached the offending rumour ;

Mr. McDonald,
I am not sure to what situation that message refers, or how its contents might have become public. At this point, I would suggest a wait-and-see approach.
Of course, if you would ever happen to encounter a vessel with Bretonian prisoners, I suggest the same approach we adopt toward pirates: attempt to ransom the prisoners/hostages.

Good evening everyone,
Simple Pullman today. As usual, nothing really interesting happened, with one possible exception: I met Corsair transport vessel in Cambridge. Where is this going to end? Not only fighters, but even "trade" ships of those darned pirates roaming through our space! On the other side, I have to say that QCR reacted pretty swiftly and pushed them away.
Safe travels to you all.

Hello everyone,
Done a few Pullman runs today with no incidents. Followed that up with a run to Liberty with Berl and back to Leeds with Boron. Ran into a few pirates on the way but they werent too greedy so all is well. New york is still as mad as ever with pirates right outside Manhattan!!! Wheres the navy and police when you need em.

Good day, chap!
With the assistance of a nice [\JG/] member, Drakar, the lads and I were able to complete a Pullman run today. I have found the JG to be a very pleasant and professional bunch. Anyway, all is well with the Devonshire. Cheerio!
Truely,
Niles

Greetings All,
I've been a bit lax lately in posting my trade reports, largely because - due to my schedule - they've been brief runs to Liberty and back. I've hired a number of different escorts, all of whom have operated satisfactorily. Also hooked up with one or two traders interested in trying Gateway out. We await their applications.
As you know, the politics in Bretonia has become rather unpredictable. I ask you all to continue to do your jobs well, to be courteous to all and to act respectably, and I will do my utmost to make sure nothing untoward occurs to our fair company in the coming days.
If any of you have concerns, don't hesitate to contact me.

Greetings, All!
I have the pleasure to announce the hiring of two fine new trader captains, Mr. Artanis Rutguard of the Yorkshire, and Mr. Danni Sparks of the Ipswich. While due to their flight schedules, we may not run into them as often as we'd like, do be sure to welcome them to our Gateway family.
Gentlemen, it is a pleasure to have you. Safe and profitable travels to you both!

Hello everyone,
Hope i find you all well. Been doing a few Pullman runs with no problems encountered. The political situation in Bretonia at the moment also has not affected trade in any way. Welcome to the company Mr Rutgaurd and Mr Sparks, if you need anything just ask and it shall be done.

Hello everyone,
Hope i find you all well. Continue to do Pullman runs with only the slightest of pirate activity. My apologies to the captain of the Yorkshire, Artinus Rutgaurd. I never had a chance to speak to you on comms before you went on leave. It will not happen again.

Greetings All,
Had a short run to Liberty and back the other day, only to catch glimpses of and hear about major pirate activity in California. On my way back through, I happened to hook up with Herald.of.Sorrow, an IMG Albatross. I don't usually like to use capital ships as escorts, but given the pirate activity, I reluctantly agreed this time.
Going back through Cali, sure enough, I was halted at a small distance by Onyx.Wolff and probably four other pirates working in tandem. I cruised to safety while Lady Sorrow...distracted the rather surprised bandits. Incidentally, she paid them for her own passage, for which she did NOT charge me reimbursement. Quite kind, indeed.
That said, be careful in California. Piracy seems to be growing in popularity there.
