George E. Rolf, CEO
LOCATION: Susquehanna Station, Cortez
SUBJECT: Williamson Logs

[20.03.834] Material deliveries to Susquehanna.
Orbital Spa and Cruise advertising catering - didn't take them up on the offer due to ion storms. Hyrax from Mahantango reported a Lane Hacker sighting - our own sensors were blind. Ran afoul of an LPI cowboy during a systems reset, sent them an explanation after the fact. Still no fallout from that front - guess they were satisfied.

[21.03.834] Supply & material deliveries to Susquehanna.
Un-moored with Hyrax at the same time, a hard worker. Visited Space Market Center - no competition there according to the cargo chief. Traveled to Honshu for an Optronics order - ion storms picked up half-way through. Susquehanna dockmaster forbid me to unload upon return - man needs to mind his manners.

[22.03.834] Supply & material deliveries to Susquehanna.
Ion storms still plaguing systems, no resets this time. Ran into another Williamson, a Freelancer. Contacted OS&C Beefmaster with some catering offers, told me to check the public net. Seemed to be suffering from ion storms as well - might be something about Cortez.

[23.03.834] Material deliveries to Susquehanna.
Jawed with an LSF pilot - enlightening conversation. Offered a retainer, but they naturally declined, heh. Them's worried about the Outcasts, and somewhat about Hackers and Rogues. Will need another sec assessment. Ran into Hyrax again, towards the end of our shift.

[24.03.834] Material deliveries to Susquehanna.
More hauling - getting mighty tired of the route, but it has to be done. Hyrax on scene to support the op again, grand. Flew to Bretonia to look into MOX contracts - decent prices on Belvedere. BAF seemed to be running some kind of maneuvers. Spotted a Gaian gunship on the way back, but they ignored me and a junker transport - can never tell with these loonies.

[25.03.834] Copper mining OP.
Heard from Davis in Brennan that they needed another transport in the field. Looked like some youngster set up the op, and was willing to share the goods for a cut - works for me. Had White in Allegheny, and some Zoner whale. Didn't look like the Zoner have anything against Libertonians, so I gave them temp access to offload. Our new firebrand in Lapidary providing escort - no action for them though, just the way I like it. Talked to White about some next moves - Ontario, eh?

[25.03.834] Copper convoy.
Went for a break and came back on shift after refinery finished chugging. Immediately saw a suspect Corsair-id'd transport with some weird hold readings. Told him to keep his distance - good thing we invest in the PDCs. Joined by Hyrax in Mahantango and Lapidary as escort. Heard some kind of preacher over the comms - you can always rely on some weird crap in New York. All quiet besides that, to Lapidary's disappointment.

[27.03.834] Susquehanna resupply and another Copper convoy.
Started another convoy from Susquehanna when Hyrax came on shift. Almost immediately, Lapidary got their wish - a Rogue gunship disrupting the Cali lane in NY. Ordered Williamson and Allegheny to support, but Lapidary called us off. Proceeded to Norfolk and sent some Navy their way - but it turned out it wasn't necessary, as Lapidary rejoined us without any additional fuss. The crew earned their hazard pay, right enough. All's quiet the rest of the way. Kruger reps at Breuninger admitting to running low on stock, and begrudgingly pointed us to Swift's. Took the Kusari route back - just some freelancers on the way.

First, farthest, fearless.
