Report Begins
Initiate Kelly With here. With the help of the kind lads at Ouray, I set up a Cutlass earlier today; callsigned it Catalyst and started moving towards Hesperia. It's even got one of the old-fashioned supernovas on it, real fancy.
After I was just entering California and crossing by the jump gate to New York, I saw a small Universal Shipping convoy. The Lord Commander had the lieutenant ask them if they needed an escort, and, surprisingly, they responded in the affirmative immediately, though Locklear and Reeves had a bit of a quarrel over whether the convoy lead's "couldn't hurt" really counted as a proper "aye, come and help us" or no.
We met with them in Ontario at the California gate and brought them safe all the way to Waterloo and back. I might have mixed feelings about all that ore going to the baffers, but I'd be lying if I were to say today's events didn't give me a better feeling than I would be used to doing whatever back home. At the end of it all, one of the transport captains insisted on giving me a payment for helping keep him safe, even though the Lord Commander had previously explained that it wasn't necessary and we aren't mercenaries. I'm not quite sure what the protocol is here, so I've kept it, but can return the payment or direct it to some sort of treasury account as ordered.
All in all, it was a good day, if a bit quiet. Nothing glamorous, but that's not what I signed up looking for anyway.
This is Initiate With, out.
