Subject: Refugee Evacuation
Today I took the activation codes for the Carpathia and headed to Planet Leeds to help with the evacuation efforts. Over a thousand refugees packed into the Royal Liner - our staff managed to keep everyone comfortable and content. We departed Planet Leeds to the sound of Dunkirk firepower - it was holding off a nearby Kusari Naval Forces patrol. This frightened many of our passengers, and they were only calmed by the jump to (safe) New London.
We travelled through Bretonia safely and reached the Omega-3 system. Immediately after leaving the jump gate, a BowEx trader told me of an impending pirate attack. Further up the trade lane, there was a large Corsair transport (a Slave Liner, supposedly). It had its turrets pointed towards a fellow trader - we could not stop to help him. As we were jumping to Omega-7 (and safety), the trader was released safely by the Corsair captain. This relieved many of our passengers, who were concerned about the shipper.
The trip through Rheinland was uneventful - when we arrived in Munich many of the refugees started cheering. With our help, they had escaped the warzone and now can lead new lives. The Carpathia moored with Planet Nuremberg and the refugees were safely shuttled down to the surface.
