I received this communication today.

Ship ID: Zapotec
Sender ID: Paul Minsk
Location: Liverpool border station, Manchester system
Topic: Application
To: S/D Agency

Good day, and well met. My name is Paul, but im more known as Zapotec. Since Liberty goverment started to enforce anti-merc policy, It seems I ran out of job. Well, on my travel back home to Leeds, I found out that new Bounty hunter wing sprung up here in Bretonia. Well, since I am out of job, and you surely need expirienced pilots, I would like to meet your representative, so we can proceed with deal. My skills and expirience are following:

Piloting of all fighter class ships, above average
Piloting of gunboat class ships, very good
Piloting of transport class ships, average
Escort of transport and freighter class ships
Escort of capital class ships
Squadron fighting
Destruction of stationary objects and structures
Hunting down low to mid level bounties.

I was born on Leeds. At first me, and my two brothers used to work for Orbital Spa and Cruise as escorts. That was followed by short career as Liner navigator. Then work for Bretonian goverment as scout.
After I got shot down by Corsair ship, got picked up and transported to Freeport 9. Where my career as information dealer begun. My information dealing firm in Liberty was closed due to goverment paranoia, and now I find myself without a job.

In addition, here are results of test you asked for over Neural net advertisment.

Hope we meet soon, Paul.

End of transmission.

This new rookie shows real potential and passed induction with flying colours.

Assigned to Zone 1 - Liberty only. NY off limits.

Message Reads:

As directed I plotted the fastest route to Freeport 11 station. I started out in Omega-15 at Rostock station.
I plotted a round about path to the Omega-41 jump hole to avoid the suns in the system. Once in O-41 I made the dash over to the Omicron Gamma jump hole

Here is a refresher map of O-41 for everyone



WARNING
There are mines in the asteroid field between the O-15 and Gamma jump holes.

Once in Gamma you need to fly a circular route to avoid all the Corsair patrols. Now some of our BHG boys and girls are also there helping keep the Corsairs in check.

Route map for Omicron Gamma



You will take the Omicron Kappa jump hole. This can be an interesting trip once in the Cloud. the area is rife with Corsairs and Nomads. Once through make a run for the Omicron Delta jump hole. Also if you need to both planets will allow us to land

Omicron Kappa Map



Just becareful of the locals



Once through to Delta it's a quick run to Freeport 11

Omicron Delta map



Here is a bit of intel on the station



Lots of Corsairs in the area and the Order flying around.

After the storm subsided, I received word from Feral about the location of the Jump Hole to Omega-49. Headed over there and am currently performing maintenance on my ship on planet Gran Canaria. Bribed the Zoners in the bar; another group of allies couldn't hurt. They may just come to the aid of any group I'm in if we're ever in trouble.

[color=#FF0000]Report

Agent: Wes "Feral" Cutter
Location: Liberty
Kills:Marauder.Two

Was headed out by Houston when we heard this on the comms.

These murdering creeps destroyed this poor sap a few minutes later. I feel bad for the guy 'cause he seemed like a nice type. We was probably a little cold to him earlier, him being a merc an' all, but he didn't deserve getting whupped by two pirate gunboats.

Anyway, it was Saturday night in Sioux City before we knew it. These creeps had Liberty Navy types flying with 'em. I tell ya, pilgrim, me and Minsk thought we was done for, what with us having only a Manta and an Arrow versus their two gunboats and two fighter escorts. Turns out the fighters was real amateurs.

But the missiles was too much. We managed to make a dock on Houston; took some damage but we was both in good spirits, seeing as these idiots couldn't hit a barn door with a remington.

Uh, since when are the Liberty Navy sending their fellers to take on law-abiding folk like ourselves?

Re: Rhineland Assignment

Sir -

I effectively have the Frankfort System completed. While Sergeant Limbaugh and I were finding out information on a Bundschuh base that is near the planet, we were jumped and fled through an uncharted jump hole, finding ourselves in Munich (I think). While attempting to find a friendly dock, we were struck by an ion storm. Right now I'm sending this information out via a warning bouy that I've found - hopefully we'll be able to find a friendly base soon. The ion storm damaged our nav computer and cruise engines, and we're pretty much flying blind out here. It's a beautiful cloud - we're just not sure where we are.

One nice thing - we're not in danger of running out of supplies. There are Bundschuh and Hessian pilots all over the place out here that are eager to die, so we're obliging them. Barry is getting quite good at picking up the residual things from their wreckage.

Location: Omicron Kappa
Subject: Route Exploration

Message reads:

I uncovered a nice new route today while trying to finalize my load out for Seeker. I was in Gran Canaria seeing what nifty items the Zoners had for sale and could not find the items I wanted. Realizing that the missile system I was looking for, the Firestalker, was on Planet Gammu in Omicron Kappa. Now from O-49 to Kappa is a very long run through house space. But having heard some decent rumors about some jump holes while on Gran Canaria, I decided to see what I could find out. Turns out you can get from O-49 to that nice nexus system O-41 in 2 jumps. Since this shortened my trip so much I wanted to send it out for all our Agents.

So starting at Gran Canaria I made the run to the Omega-47 jump hole. Now as any of you know O-49 is crawling with Corsairs, so whatch yourselves.

O-49 Map



Now it seems neither the Hessians nor the Corsairs guard this jump hole into O-47. I jumped in and no one was around. I took a round about route since this zone is a battle ground between the Hessains and the Sairs. I encountered a few patrols from both sides so caution is advised. The jump hole for O-41 is with in 10k of a Corsair battle ship so get in to the jump hole fast.

O-47 route map.



Now the other end of that hole is guarded so be ready to dodge and thrust once you are through. You are also tight around the corner from Leon base, so the Corsairs are thick in this area. Once in O-41 you can head to any number of systems. Just remember that there are numerous mine fields spread among the asteroids. While the potential for coming up against stronger unlawfuls is greater then going through house space I think the time saved was well worth it.

Side Note- Directer sir,
Has Harvey had the chance to look over the application for the new Pilot for S/D-Cestus yet. I know he is busy but got a message from Dane asking about the status.

Director's Briefing

Listen up, men. And women. This concerns the PTS.

For those of you who may be unfamiliar with it, the Agency's Prisoner Transportation Service (PTS) is one of the largest transporters of prisoners in Sirius moving prisoners between judicial districts, correctional institutions and foreign countries, and supporting the judiciary of the major Houses through its scheduling and transportation responsibilities. As well as transferring criminals to hearings, court appearances and detention facilities, the PTS also provides regular international flights for the removal of deportable aliens. Military and civilian law enforcement agencies use the PTS to shuttle their prisoners between different jurisdictions at a fraction of what commercial sources would charge.

Today's PTS fleet has expanded to several Armoured Transports and a custom-built Prison Liner, the ConAir. These ships fly a large series of routes that serve nearly every major system.

The schedule of ConAir is kept secret from the public, and is known only to those directly involved in its operation. Even passengers scheduled to fly are given no advance notice of their flight and are taken by surprise. There are several benefits of keeping the schedule secret including:

- the location of ships is not known to those who may have an interest in sabotaging a flight or harming any of its passengers.
- as inmates are taken by surprise, they cannot plan their own escape or arrange with outsiders to aid their escape from custody.

Passengers aboard a ConAir flight are restrained by handcuffs as well as ankle and waist chains which are double or even triple locked. Those who pose additional danger may be given additional restraints, such as reinforced mittens that completely isolate and almost completely immobilize the hands and face masks to prevent biting and spitting as well as implants designed to deliver a shock which renders a person incapactitated.

Flight and seating arrangements are made carefully with the intent to separate inmates who may be of conflict to one another. Members of rival prison gangs may be transported on different days to help reduce the risk of an in-flight incident.

In future, ConAir routes will be determined over secure channels. Full escort will be assigned - that is to say, two gunships with a full squad of fighter/bomber support. Rendition will not proceed in the event of escort capacity being reduced for any reason.

That is all.

INCOMING SECURE TRANSMISSION

To: The Director

From Special Agent Max DeVirgo, Director of Intelligence

RE: Rheinland Base of Operations

Sir:

I have made an exhaustive study of Rheinland, their bases, the criminal elements, and the economic situation there.

A base summary and list of recommendations follows:

Dresden - The Hessians have a base there. The Wild stage frequent attacks on Bautzen station. This sector has numerous jump holes, including Omega 11, 15, 54, Stuttgart, Frankfurt, and New Berlin.

Stuttgart - The LWB have a base here. They and Hessians stage frequent raids. However, there also is a strong military detachment located at Planet Stuttgart, and with this sector being on the main trade lane run from New Berlin to Cambridge, this would be an ideal location to stage ships to escort AP Manufacturing vessels through the Omega sector.

New Berlin - The capital system of Rheinland has a Junkers Base. Also, with the jump hole to Sigma 13 located here, this system also has multiple attacks from the Wild. The LWB also do have a bad tendency to swarm the jump gate between here and Stuttgart. Bonn Station is owned by Interspace, a Liberty corporation. The battleship at this junction of trade lanes is there not so much to guard the lanes as to keep an eye on what Liberty does.

Hamburg - I've already given a fully detailed brief on Hamburg, the Unioner activity there (note - I did not actually find a Unioner base in Rheinland - it must be somewhere in Hudson or Bering.) Planet Hamburg already has a conducive atmosphere to bounty hunter activity.

Frankfurt - Frankfort is a hotbed of smuggling. Between the Bundshuh base and the easy access to Sigma 13, along with a plethora of jump holes, there is a large amount of pirate activity here. However, this is away from the center of all the houses as well, so Planet Holstein might be someplace to stage - but not to actually base long term.

Munich - This sector is primarily for the elite of Rheinland, especially at Augsburg.

For an operational base, I recommend, in the following order:

1: Planet Stuttgart, Stuttgart System
2: Planet Hamburg, Hamburg System
3: Bonn Station, New Berlin System

I suggest that we recommend to the Rheinland government a vigorous anti-smuggling patrol in Frankfurt. I also suggest that we keep in mind the proximity of Frankfurt AND Munich to certain Sigma sectors, as these are ideal locations from which to launch core missions.

The one advantage that Bonn Station does have is that, the Rheinlanders already view Liberty with suspicion. If we are there as well - it'll allow them to keep an eye on us as well, without stretching their manpower any further than it already is.

Maxmillian deVirgo, out
