Subject: Celine Squadron Convoy To Omega-49, 9000 deuterium units for the fleet
------------------------------------------------
I'm pleased to announce that today the Celine Squadron at full crew delivered near 9000 units of Deuterium from Planet Gran Canaria (omega-49) at Planet Honshu (Honshu) making 2 successful runs.
Long range scanners detected 4 SF unidentified vessels (rumors about 1 cruiser) between New London and Cambridge occasionally moving to Dublin and Leeds.
The Sokaku was called to assist Goro Sasaki (prometheo until name change) and the Shumushu trading vessel wth Kazuo Sugino at command.
When on our way back from the first round but still in omega-49, Goro Sasaki noticed 2 SF vessels moving to Dublin to intercept us and a fast safe plan was developed.
Cargo has priority but experienced wingman lifes and ship economical and strategical value also count as a factor in the great equation about winning a war.
So the commanding officer made a choice: <<Goro Sasaki..please..take the lead with the Shumushu and escort Kazuo Sugino and his cargo to safe, meanwhile, I will try to get some attention and lure them away from you.>>
The Sokaku jumped first to Dublin and engaged with the 2 SF vessels while Goro Sakaki was taking the lead with the Shumushu towards Edinburgh.
We can say the plan worked, SF were 8k away from the omega-49 jumphole and the Shumushu cruised to Edinburgh without problems, a SF vessels was disabled (but not destroyed) after some time of fight and the Sokaku disengaged the fight when Goro Sasaki was confirming a safe situation in Edinburgh. No hostile encounters during the second run. Only one question is in Sulu's mind during the debrief, 4 SF vessels were spotted but only 2 intercepted the convoy. Immediatly thereafter Sulu's ordered a complete control of the cargo suspecting for spy wares or explosives but nothing was found..only a big big stock of Deuterium for the fleet of the Emperor.
