Indeed our last patrol was uneventful, but I have the feeling our presence was felt in other ways, and sometimes messing with the enemy's heads can be good enough for me. As for the Pelican, don't feel bad. A long time ago I realized what her strengths and weaknesses are, and you can only grill so much out of one. Thankfully I ain't planning on fightin in any wars anytime soon, but I think we can handle the lesser armed, more isolated targets. I like to minimize my risks, and as you know I've sank every penny I've scoffed into the Argo, to make sure I can do that.
It is a shame to hear about the Ronin and Sho. As for Jinpatchi, I think the Blood Dragons would be an excellent choice, as both a refuge, and new career. They are an honorable crew, and the more pilots willing to mess with Samura and their lapdogs, the better. Speaking of, when it comes to Antioch, the Dragons haven't put a price on his head...yet. The second we hear otherwise, he may prove to be a viable paycheck.
With regards to our usual 'targets', I believe the pressure is paying off, and I've seen a drop in their activity. Keep an eye out for them, hopefully we'll keep them on the run.
I've been bouncing back and forth into Liberty whenever action in the Taus lightens up. It has resulted in many skirmishes with some randoms: A few odd Xenos bombers (one foolish enough to chase me into Peurto Rico), one sour and clueless Rogue SHF that barely made it away alive, and a few grumpy transports passing the Bering system. Nothing we couldn't handle, for the most part.
On that note, I may have something for us to chew on in that area. I'm still investigating, but I may have a line on a new corporate supply route down there that's ripe for the picking. It seems there's a new Freeport there, and I'll be watching carefully who's running supplies out. I may call upon you soon to join me in south Liberty for some back up.
In the meantime, keep doing what you do, I've wired you another weekly sum of 40 million SC to Akapai. Remember, treat that Pelican well, and she'll treat you just as well in return.
