Command,
My mission for the day was to patrol the Liberty systems and inspect passing ships for contraband. In the course of that mission, I encountered a ship of the New Down organization - Mutual.Aid. During the search, only Neon legal to carry was found in its hold. The captain said he was planning to head toward the House of Kusari, so I offered to accompany him, to which he agreed. We did not encounter any criminal ships during the flight, so I escorted him to the Kepler system and then left at the gate to Shikoku.
I then returned to the New York system and received a report of an Outcast ship orbiting the planet Manhattan - MNS-Mannaro. As it turned out, it was their cruiser. Three bombers and one battlecruiser from the Liberty fleet had arrived to intercept it. I acted as an interceptor in case the enemy small ships arrived, but that didn't happen: during a brief battle our forces prevailed, after which everyone went back to their standard tasks, and I - to the battleship Missouri, where I am now refueling my ship and waiting for a standard technical inspection.
All necessary attachments and black box negotiations are attached.

[13.08.2023 15:13:58] ND)-GFS-Mutual.Aid: ?: Currently the crew's putting it up to a vote, but the general idea is "Northwards" - Maybe to Kusari.
[13.08.2023 15:14:36] ND)-GFS-Mutual.Aid: ?: Or - Actually - Scratch that. Just was reminded about the Medical Supplies that Syracuse needs hauled.
[13.08.2023 15:14:41] 5th|Matthew.Austin: Understood. Do you need my escort? I can provide it to Liberty-Kusari borders.
[13.08.2023 15:15:09] ND)-GFS-Mutual.Aid: ?: We don't feel it'll be ~necessary per se, but if you ~want to offer it, well... I guess we aren't in any real position to -

[13.08.2023 15:15:41] 5th|Matthew.Austin: Not at all, I should escort only if it's going through any dangerous space, like any debris field or asteroid field.
[13.08.2023 15:15:50] 5th|Matthew.Austin: Well, any places where no trade lanes, in short.
[13.08.2023 15:16:10] ND)-GFS-Mutual.Aid: ?: We don't intend to stray too far from the lanes, in any event, but we'll welcome it through Colorado at least.
[13.08.2023 15:16:16] 5th|Matthew.Austin: So, if you agree for escort, we can start moving.
[13.08.2023 15:16:21] ND)-GFS-Mutual.Aid: ?: Let's get to picking up those supplies, first.

[13.08.2023 15:22:33] ND)-GFS-Mutual.Aid: ?: Oh, just, uh... New Dawn. More or less your average Freelance small-time outfit, you know how it is.
[13.08.2023 15:22:50] 5th|Matthew.Austin: Understood.
[13.08.2023 15:22:51] ND)-GFS-Mutual.Aid: ?: There's something t'be said for wanting to live outside the Corporate Ladder, and all.
[13.08.2023 15:23:12] 5th|Matthew.Austin: Well, Liberty provides for free economy, so I think your business will be going well.
