From: Special Sergeant Jacky Montgomery, CDI. To: COCS Database Topic: JAN 4 835 Convoy Clearance: SENSITIVE
Good evening.
Just got back to New London after our pre-arranged escort mission with the Weiss corporation. O'Sullivan had been in communication with them earlier, and worked to coordinate a large convoy to travel into Rheinland space, an act that helped further cover the prison transfer we had planned with the HMC Tayloe. We assembled a squadron consisting of myself, Beurling, and Novak for protection. Whilst the Weiss ships were funneling into Bretonia, we got a PLOPS contact in Leeds, the notorious cardamine smuggler, MeisterHaku. I managed to intercept the ship, and with the help of my fellow Constables, leverage some very hefty fines against this hooligan.
We regrouped with the convoy and then proceeded out of Bretonia. We were briefly held up however by an LWB bandit, the DLV|Heugabel. The ship seemed hesitant to strike our convoy, and instead began sprouting pro-food propaganda and attempted to hand out some free samples. As much as I like free food, I don't trust food coming from known Rheinland criminals. Some was taken aboard the Tayloe and one of the convoy ships from Weiss merely to placate the LWB and make him go away. We then proceeded uneventfully into Rheinland and dropped off the Hessian criminals from Sprague. The Tayloe and the rest of the CDI ships then returned to Bretonia. Overall the convoy was a success with only one major hiccup in the form of the LWB ship appearing. We were even able to stop for currywurst at the new restaurant in Berlin. Weiss said we can send them the check later and that they'll cover lunch for us.
I would also like to note something from a patrol that occurred earlier in the week. A member of Med Force Enterprises met up with us to discuss the Slog epidemic, and upon seeing the state of our equipment and ships, made a sizable donation to the CDI. In exchange for a generous pile of credits and promised anonymity, myself and Pickering have agreed to give MFE ships some extra leniency while in Bretonia. Note this does not make them above the law, but please give these CDI donors the benefit of the doubt while they're here.
