Subject: Convoy Report

Guten Tag everyone,

Today Gateway held quite a convoy. At first, it consisted of only myself, Mr. McIntyre, and Ms. Eaton heading to Liberty with Luxury Foods to meet with Sir Buchanan who was returning from Rheinland. On our respective ways to Manhattan, there were no disturbances. When we attempted to move Passengers to Rheinland, though, we encountered several problems.

First, in Bering, our convoy was hailed by a Unioner pilot, flying a civilian bomber. This man, callsigned Armstrong, demanded that we pay eight million credits for passage. Sir Buchanan, Mr. McIntyre, and myself passed this man by, but Ms. Eaton was delayed, and was engaged in a firefight with this man. She returned to us safe, though, at Planet Hamburg.

Second, in Hamburg, we heard of another Unioner, this time callsigned Vacant, pirating an independent trader. We found him on the Trade Lane from Alster Shipyard to the New Berlin Jump Gate, and engaged to assist the trader. Although I arrived late, we managed to stave off the pilot, flying a Tadain Bomber. He retreated, and we met up with Mr. Bloom in the Somerset shortly after the engagement. He left shortly after, though, due to engine failures...

Third, while in New Berlin, we came upon this Vacant again near Dortmund Station, and he fired upon Mr. McIntyre with no warning. We engaged this man, and even came received assistance from a Bounty Hunter known as Colonel_Spectre. We gave the Unioner ample chance to leave, and he refused that opportunity. We destroyed him, and hopefully he will not attempt to "tax" us while serving time in the Vierlande Prison.

Nothing occurred on our way to Munich or Dresden. Our trip to Leeds, however, held a meeting with a rather polite Corsair. Abbie had made his acquaintance before, in a rather violent manner. Reluctant to engage, since he was flying a gunboat, Sir Buchanan decided to try diplomacy instead. We managed to bargain passage, and continued our trip to Leeds without incident.

A special thanks to Abbie for her very good work this evening. She has more than earned her pay for the night, and I can only hope she can find more a more peaceful assignment in the next few days.

On a side note, I would like to ask everyone to keep their eyes on the trade route list (//Page 3, post #22\\). It is ever changing with today's politics, and it is best for us to be well informed.

A very eventful night,
~Gunther Koch - DTO
