RE: Op: SQUEEGEE.

Our acquisition of resources in Kusari has been going well. Today, the BES Leeson, Fenning and Hyman launched an incursion into Kusari as the vanguard of Op. SQUEEGEE. While passing through Kyushu on our way to Okinawa, I noticed a 'Big Dragon' transport affiliated with the KSP travelling away from the trade lanes. Considering he was isolated and an enemy target, I wheeled our attack group around and entered pursuit.

He led us past a jump hole to New Tokyo, and finally to another destined to Shikoku. Both were noted for later use - there was a Farmer's Alliance base nearby however, and we were extremely hard pressed to avoid their patrols. They eventually caught us near the Shikoku jump hole after our target had jumped, forcing us to stop and fight back. After dispatching the patrols, we were amazed to see a Samura Kusari '5k' train jump in on top of us.

[20.09.2011 15:06:13] Bowex)Fenning: well said sah

[20.09.2011 15:06:14] Bowex)Leeson: Now, drop all your cargo, then shoot it.
[20.09.2011 15:06:24] .:.Mexon.:.: Why?
[20.09.2011 15:06:24] Bowex)Leeson: After that, you'll sing the Bretonian national anthem over system comms.
[20.09.2011 15:06:30] Bowex)Hyman: Crying is optional.
[20.09.2011 15:06:37] Bowex)Fenning: hehe. bloody kusarian
[20.09.2011 15:06:39] Bowex)Leeson: After that, you'll publically denounce the Emperor via system comms, and declare you're a woman.
[20.09.2011 15:06:47] Bowex)Fenning: eh, Peterson...
[20.09.2011 15:06:49] .:.Mexon.:.: wow
[20.09.2011 15:06:57] Bowex)Leeson: Don't worry, we'll give you the lyrics.
[20.09.2011 15:07:09] .:.Mexon.:.: smart ones ha
[20.09.2011 15:07:16] .:.Mexon.:.: ntz ntz ntz
[20.09.2011 15:07:21] Bowex)Fenning: he's mad!
[20.09.2011 15:07:23] .:.Mexon.:.: go ahead do your thing
[20.09.2011 15:07:25] Bowex)Fenning: like a hatter!

Taking a leaf out of the QCP's books, we told him to drop everything, then salted the wound with some additional jabs at his pride and honour. After a short while he told us to kill him, so we obliged. After picking off some of his equipment first, of course. In any case, the element of surprise was well and truly scuppered by then, so we hit New Tokyo via the jump hole we'd just stumbled across and burned straight for our destination.

A short time later, we made it to Okinawa. Loading up on H Fuel, we set our sights on home. After dodging a Samura escort in a Stilleto, we broke through to the Taus. In '31 Mart and Colin decided they did not have the testicular fortitude to run the gauntlet, and diverted through Edinburgh. I plunged on ahead and used the jump gate. Dodging battleship and massed Chimera fire, I had a morose moment to mourn for my lost office on Glasgow as I passed it. I swear I will get that bloody office back again!

RVing in Leeds orbit, all three Clydesdales landed and unloaded their cargo. I declared the trade-raid to be an utter success, and concluded the operation. Altogether, 1,620 units of H Fuel were recovered. Currently, myself and Supervisor Bellock are in the lead for the 10 million credit H Fuel bonus, and I alone am in the lead for the 10 million credit interdiction bonus. You can find out more about these bonuses here and keep track of progress here. Look sharp, lads! It's a sad day when your managers of all people are outperforming you!
