Encounter Report

Hello, this is Mac reporting.

A couple days ago I was checking on the progress of the RM's siege on that base near the fields, when this ship called Love.Joy showed up, broadcasting a Zoner IFF. He trew a few insults on the Rheinlanders and cruised away. Very strange for a zoner. I followed and scanned his ship to find out he was carrying almost 500 slaves in his Pelican. When he realised I was after him he wanted to 'tax' me. I said that he needed to let those people off his ship in Freistad, and he then opened fire on me. I was not able to hit him much in that asteroid field, so I went back to Freistad while he fled to the Omega 5 jumphole. Here are the scanner data:

He tried again yesterday, camping the lanes near Freeport One. He was not successful, as you will see next, but even so I'm sure he will be back. Should be put in the list of 'known offenders' or something...


Convoy Report

Well then, yesterday we did a run with Silver ore from Falster to Narita. Here we are gathering the convoy together in front of the base:

While waiting for the last transport, we detected that Love.Joy ship again, trying to tax an IMG indie transport this time. We moved our battletransports to defend the poor fella, and later Mr. Lister joined us in his bomber. That is a colective kill right? I don't have the guncam shot of it, but its in the logs, and Mr. Lister shall include it soon in his next report. Anyway, here are the comms transcript:

[02.01.2014 20:44:56] IMG|Mat.Evanz: probably a few scratches but nothing too bad...

After that, we went in our way to Kusari via Rheinland. In Neu Berlin, a couple of Vagrant Raiders ships were camping the lane. A Raven's Talon class Very Heavy Fighter and a Waran class Heavy Bomber. They said they wanted to 'have a chat' with the ALG tranport that was with us. We made clear that it was part of our convoy, and the Raiders, not wanting a fight, agreed to let us all go on our way. I'm including an excerpt of the conversation also:

Code:

[02.01.2014 20:59:41] VR-Persia.de.Shahrizai: What a merry company here
[02.01.2014 20:59:45] IMG|Piper.Maru[R]: Greetings, friends
[02.01.2014 21:00:00] IMG|Mat.Evanz: greetings
[02.01.2014 21:00:01] VR-Persia.de.Shahrizai: IMG, you can go. ALG, please stay with us a bit.
[02.01.2014 21:00:23] IMG|Redstone-4: What's the problem with ALG ?
[02.01.2014 21:00:29] IMG|Redstone-4: Sorry, but he's part of our convoy.
[02.01.2014 21:00:40] VR-Persia.de.Shahrizai: Ah... this complicates things.
[02.01.2014 21:00:53] VR-Paddy.Hughs: Indeed
[02.01.2014 21:01:12] IMG|Mat.Evanz: Not really. He's with us, so how is that a problem?
[02.01.2014 21:01:28] VR-Persia.de.Shahrizai: Well... we don't have any issues with IMG, and it's not that we're gonna harm anyone.
[02.01.2014 21:01:44] IMG|Frank.Rogers[R]: Frank: *grins*
[02.01.2014 21:01:48] IMG|Redstone-4: Not harm anyone ? ... That sound really good.
[02.01.2014 21:01:57] IMG|Mat.Evanz: Then good day to you, we will be on our way...
[02.01.2014 21:01:58] VR-Persia.de.Shahrizai: Of course, we're not murderers.
[02.01.2014 21:02:12] VR-Persia.de.Shahrizai: Well ALG guy, this is your lucky day. Get lost quickly.
[02.01.2014 21:02:41] IMG|Piper.Maru[R]: Mac: You are really very polite figures... Thank you very much...
[02.01.2014 21:02:57] VR-Paddy.Hughs: Just don't forgot this act of kindness
[02.01.2014 21:03:05] VR-Persia.de.Shahrizai: *shrugs*
[02.01.2014 21:03:17] IMG|Piper.Maru[R]: The Guild dont forget its friends...

After that, the trip was without incidents all the way to Narita.

Then we took mining equipment from Narita to Falkland (it is always in need of those) and also supplied Fort Siloso, that now is stocked up of maintenance material.

That's it. Mac Taylor, out....
