CEO Notes: "After a bit of a hiatus, we went on a very profitable convoy again. Raven chimed in with many a funny quips, and the experienced escorts preformed well with scouting and such. The route was quite lucrative and everyone had a good time."

Another great Trade Route invented by the Routemaster
CEO Notes: "We had a nice little route to Alberta, Kusari and back. Everything went well except in Ontario when The.Magician and some of his pals stopped us and demanded money. The Yorktown wired them some cash and we continued on to finish the route. The route's $/min was very good. We all had a fun time and CEO fees were forwarded to the Traveller."
Upon completing a trade convoy to the Pennsylvania system to Planet Eerie, [*USI*]P.Corte[SO] announced that there were hostiles on his scanner. [*USI*]W.Rainer[CSO] ordered the entire DoS to move out towards the Helium cloud. Half-way to the Helium cloud, we encountered a freelance pirate under the call-sign "Broken.Arrow". Battle was initiated before our arrival. We were ordered by [*USI*]W.Rainer[CSO] to engage the hostile. The battle lasted roughly 15 minutes, moving from our original location all the way to the edge of Planet Eerie, under the piloting of Broken.Arrow, who attempted to cause a fatal crash with our vessels. The initiating pilots were myself, and [*USI*]A,Raybern[PL]. It ended when Broken.Arrow, piloting a severely damaged Werewolf class Super Heavy Fighter, burned up in the atmosphere of Planet Eerie. No escape pods were seen being jettisoned, but it is not impossible that he escaped alive, without his ship.
During the trade convoy to Planet Eerie, I was stopped by a freelance pirate under the call-sign "Shield.Activated" who ordered me to stop. I was already initiating a docking sequence with the Philadelphia Station to Planet Eerie trade lane, and simply ignored him, but I sent a warning to the other convoy members, whom I assumed were ahead of me. Before the sequence could initiate, I scanned Shield.Activated and discovered that he was a Barghest class Bomber. Half-way through the trade lane, com-link chatter exploded, and I was ordered numerous times to both accompany [*USI*]W.Rainer[CSO] and return to Philadelphia station, where Shield.Activated was assaulting members of the trade convoy. I flew towards [*USI*]W.Rainer[CSO], but lost him on my scanners. I circled back trying to find him, somewhat confused as to where to go. After a moment, I decided to head to Philadelphia station on my own, where I discovered virtually all of the DoS members, including [*USI*]W.Rainer[CSO], [*USI*]P.Corte[SO], and [*USI*]A,Raybern[PL] were already engaging. I made it to within 7k of the hostile vessel before he was subsequently destroyed by the others, with the aid of two Liberty Navy vessels. We proceeded to Planet Eerie and docked.
Report: My day started with me getting reports of a rogue gunboat in the Helium Nebula. Chief Security Officer Tom and I were enjoying a cup of coffee when the reports came in. Tom gave me the order to head over to the hangar and hop into my Waran bomber. The Chief exited Emlentons hangar bay first and I followed, it took about 1 minute to reach the target I couldnt read his tag but he took no time in engaging us with few words. The Chief gave the order and I charged my guns after about 10 minutes we were able to destroy the gunboat but no escape pod was present. We then returned to Emleton and prepared for a convoy.
Well today was very awarding, it started with the Chief organizing a patrol to secure USI's often used trade routes. We were separated into two groups, Alpha and Beta Wings. I was in charge of Beta wing and we split off into different directions. Beta Wing includedSecurity Officer [*USI*]C.Brown[SO] and [*USI*]A.Raybern[SSO]Alpha Wing included[*USI*]T.Marwick[CSO] and [*USI*]E,Hazard[CA]We patrolled New York system and everything seemed clear. Once we reached the California system we ran into a Pirate transport code namedSly.Foxhe cooperated and we escorted him out of system but he left with a warning saying "Ill be back and better armed" he entered Cortez and we left him at that. After leaving the system we were in New York again and ran into a freelance pirate named Pirate|Peter we were alerting authorities saying he was not allowed in Liberty and needed to be arrested. He wasnt to fond of that cause he soon opened fire on our Cadet. I looked to the Chief for an order he cleared us to engage. We were able to take him down but soon after a Lane Hacker arrived and began to open fire he was code named enemy I was ordered to supply covering fire for us to pull back to West Point. Once Brown and Hazard were cleared the Chief ordered me to pull back and he soon followed. Once everyone was accounted for we entered Pennsylvania and to our surprise we ran intoSly.Fox this time he was carrying "slaves" he forced our hand and was terminated. The Chief then ordered me to get a transport to rescue the refugees in there pods floating in space. I relocated them on Planet Erie at the LPI HQ refugee camp. That ended my patrol. A very good day in saving the lives of others.
Two days ago me ([*USI*]J.Nowakowsky[SO]), uncle Tom ([*USI*]Lincoln[M]) and trainee Franny ([*USI*]New.York[T]) have formed up a convoy. Our first load was helium from Exports to planet Miura. The route was easy, we haven't encountered any dangers. When we've arrived at Miura, we've found out that there were some unspecified tensions between Miura docking control and our Trainee, so I've agreed to make a house cleaning mission to clear things up.
After uncle Marwick and trainee Melbrone unloaded Food on Fujisawa and bought a load of Helium-3 at Shuri station, we've decided that the best route to our destination, which was Southampton Shipyard in New London, were Taus.
After having a nice conversation about aunts and sidearms, we've arrived at Freeport 6. I've moved ahead to scout and drive away any gallics that may be patroling the area. As expected, shortly after jumping to Tau-31 we've stumbled upon a GRN gunboat assisted by 4 or 5 fighters. I've made few attack runs on the gunboat to shift thier attention from [*USI*]New.York[T] to me. In the meantime, both transports have magnaged to get to the Newcastle jumphole. With a bit of luck I've managed to run away from gallic patrol, and I've arrived in Newcastle shortly after our transports. There we've stumbled upon aCoalition ship, unfortunately I was unable to capture his ID codes or ship type. He just silently passed by.
After arriving at Southampton we've took Engine Components to Thames Station. There we've meet one of our new trainees, Soares ([*USI*]Aisatsana[T]), who joined our convoy. Then we've took Mining Machinery to Brimingham and finally a fat load of Raw Hydrocarbons from Fortitude. Our journey to Pittsburgh was an easy one, only thing worth mentioning was a Navy battlegroup that ignored my greetings.
On Pittsburgh we've picked up a load of Tantalum, which we've then took to Harrisburg station. When passing trough the Badlands, I've stumbled upon a rogue transport called Sly.Fox. After spotting me, he switched the power off and drifted away into the Badlands, making any contact impossible. Rest of our route to Harrisburg was peaceful, without any problems. When we've arrived at planet Eire, our convoy was disbanded, and I've returned to Exports hangar.
This was a rather uneventful, but profitable day. Nowakowsky out.
