193 reporting in, as soon I left planet Stuggart I had to help an RM pilot take down a pirate gunboat. After that I escorted [LC] Lupus and [LC] Pegasus from New Berlin to New Tokyo and then to Omega 49. Fortunately, it was smooth sailing all the way.

So a new recruit, erinsy or RepEx|666, is looking to get set up with his 20 million. Look for him in Stuttgart hovering around Freiburg. Give him the money and you can recoup it gratis at the HQ in Hamburg, Alster Shipyard, and you'll probably get a bonus for being such a swell chap. Help the kid get his ship too. Not sure which one he has but remember to keep it legal. We're depending on you guys. Pull through and we'll see bright skies tomorrow.

Lately I've heard tell of difficulties in RepEx employees encountering one another in the deep of space so I have decided to compile an 'on the clock' listing so that organization can be more easily accomplished. What I ask from RepEx employees is that they present to me their usual hours of operation in Sirius and which galactic time zome they reside in.
P Funk, operating RepEx|552, |016, and |099, operates in the -8 GMT (Galactic Median Time) and usually during the hours of 6pm~ to 1am~.
Any others contributing who cannot determine their time zones can instead provide a place of residence (for P Funk that is Planet Vancouver, in the Canada system *wink wink nudge nudge*). Hopefully this will accommodate everyone's divergent schedules.

This is Bernd Schuster, leader of the Workers Front
Long ago it was your management who gravely failed to protect our people in the major accident of 512 AS. Most of our ancestors were either lost or killed amongst the several hundred Republican workers. Not only the Republican always were unwilling to accept the faults they had, but they chose to fire our workers instead who lost their jobs, families and all the gains of long years they had earned with serving the Republican. Although they were more skilled than ordinary dock workers, our people were still being urged to work like slaves and they were even more despicable than dogs in your minds.
I am personally assuring the Unioners to be in relief since your actions will not go unpunished from now on. The day has come to avenge our fallen brothers, their lost families and lifes and to make the Republican pay for what they have done to us in the past.
Prepare yourself for war, we will be coming to finish the undone job !!

On the uncharted lagoons of anguish, I sail with a canoe made of my sins.
193 reporting in, I helped RepEx-Security|747 get his ID tag fixed but he might need a few small upgrades other than that he is ready for duty. Also I spotted a lowlife unioner near our base in Hamburg and destroyed him.

CC: All Employees
Security employee #747 has been given weapons and a shield from the armoury. Also, very well done in handling that Unioner piece of garbage. We will keep them at bay yet. From what I understand members of our security team have been wiping Rheinland clean of the Hessians as well. Very well done, this will definitely improve your Christmas bonuses. Keep up the good work and we will see the rewards.
On a seperate note, I did want to make it clear that one of the security department's secondary objectives is to provide assistance to the Rheinland Military should they ever need it. Please answer all calls for help from the RM whenever it is given, unless it interferes with your duties towards RepEx.
Thank You,
Alex Cummings
CEO and President

Hail all! This is Eric Nelson reporting in for duty. I'm still waiting for the local mechanic/ painter to finish the change of name on my trasport, but I assume that should only take another day or so. I am in the process of setting up my security ship currently. I hope to see you all out there in the void of space soon.

My current net worth is 9.5 million, thanks in large part to the signing bonus and the fine Train that I've been running. Recently I convoyed with a trader by the name of Ace. Consider approaching him to work for the company at some point. He has a good knowledge of the Kusari system.
My prefered trade route thus far has been running the muckity muck VIPs out of Manhattan out to Hamburg. I'm sure it's so they can get their little paws on some of those Rienland women!
Sorry, I've been locked in my cab to long with nothing but old 3s Company re-runs to watch. Don't know how that show has survived the centuries! How many remakes have they done?
Anyways, I haul diamonds back over to Manhattan and repeat. I've only been confronted by pirates once who got the receiving end of my blasters. Other times I just fly through 'em.
Keep truckin'

It is always better to avenge dear ones than to indulge in mourning. For every one of us, living in this world means waiting for our end. Let whoever can, win glory before death. When a warrior is gone, that will be his best and only bulwark. Beowulf
