Another peaceful day in Alpha. Not even a stray Hunter payed a visit to our homeworld. Maybe nobody left to pay those Hunters, ahem.
With our home safe, I inspected the situation around our small Torino outpost @1. Under welcoming suns of the unwelcoming space @2 there weren't any significant hostile activity in the vicinity of the outpost bar minor GRN gunboat activity which was stopped @3.
After the return back to Malta, being escorted by senor Arturo Salieri, I delivered a load of our invaluable cardamine to Liberty @4@5, where we joined with a 81-Syndicate convoy @6. Returning back to Malta with slaves wasn't uneventful though. Due to clever actions of the pilot of one of our escort ships, senor Santana Lazarus, who managed to trick Colonials, our convoy managed to avoid Colonial vessels in Coronado. Tau-23 was unexpectedly busy with Hunter and KNF vessels, our scanners were picking up their signatures several times, yet skillful maneuvering of our captains allowed the convoy to evade encounters @7@8.
