Konnichiwa,
This afternoon, I met with some high-ranking sisters among your Gen'an Chrysanthemums organization. They allowed me to accompany them on a convoy starting from Kinkaku-ji base. Although not officially part of the Sisterhood, I was allowed to carry their beloved commodity, Shigeakiki Tea all the way to Planet Malta in Omicron Alpha. That was the safe part of the trip.
From Malta, we loaded up some Orange and delivered it back to Kinkaku-ji base. Still felt safe.
From Kinkaku-ji, we loaded more Shigeakiki Tea and hauled it to Beaumont Base where we fetched a good price. Along the way, my computer systems refused to connect with the trade lanes and I coudn't travel across them. The scary part was flying extremely slow through Xeno territory without the ability to sail across the lanes. I would have panicked, but we were well protected with multiple escorts. No signs of Xenos were discovered.
On the way back from Beaumont, we picked up more Slaves and took the Virginia System on through the Omicrons back to Malta. Along the way, right on the other side of a trade lane, we ran into a very surprised member of the Order. The ships callsign was Order|Epsilon-1. I don't think he was expecting a convoy of such size and force. We greeted him politely, and left him wondering what we might do.
