Greetings IMG guild masters,

this is Ned Laster, captain of the OSI-Borrowed_Prosperity. I took a long route through the Omicrons to supply your bases with the best H-Fuel from Okinawa at the lowest price possible.

As I have no docking permission at Jakarta Orbital Facility, I contacted one of your pilots named Alex Vale yesterday. Today he kept ready a transport at Java to pick up the H-Fuel and clear the cargo in the name of OSI at Jakarta. My BWT was still docked at Freeport 10, Tau-37. So I had to set course to Java first.
So much for the circumstances. Now to the more interesting part.

There was a Bowex)-vessel callsign Bowex)Wheatstone with a huge load of Ship Hull Panels in Tau-37. It greeted me in a strange way, altered its course a bit and docked at Freeport 10. I was surprised, as Freeport 10 has only small maintenance areas at the docking bays. No one is interested in buying Ship Hull Panels there. The ship undocked moments later and continued its initial route(before it altered its course to FP10) to Omicron-Alpha. This is at least, what my navigation computer told me, as it was very easy to interpolate the trains current position, the current course and the jump hole location.

Here are some pictures for you:
Cargo
Licence
Comm log
Train seen flying away from FP10 (you only see the head and its engine trails) (I have a higher resolution image available, if this is not sufficient)
My current position to get you a clue, where the train was heading to

If you are wondering, why a Zoner is even bothered about something like this, let me just tell you, I have my reasons for this.

Best regards,
Ned Laster

That is... an extremely valuable intel, Mr Laster. You must have had very good reasons for sharing it with the Guild.

Could we do something for you in return?

Greetings Mister Ogawa,

I do not want anything in return.
I would appreciate it if you would not use this information to directly confront Bowex as this may come back upon the head of the company I am working for.
Take this material as an advisory that you may need to keep an eye on Bowex vessels travelling through your space. Especially those carrying ship hull panels.

Best regards,
Ned Laster

We will of course honour your request and keep this information confidential.

Since you don't require any kind of reward, please allow me to give you a word of advice. The practices of the Border World Exports are well known Laster-sama. My advice is to concentrate your operations and partnership with the much more promising, Gateway Shipping.
