[b]Friday, March 5th[/b]
The [b][color=red]Empire of Mille-Sessau[/color][/b] co-signs the [b]Maritime Safety Act of 1921[/b]. They pledge to help clear Tervasan waters of mine, though they currently have only a handful of ships capable of performing such duties. The Empire dispatches the light cruiser [i]Orage[/i] and two destroyers [i]Sirroco[/i] and [i]Tornade[/i] to run the anticipated supply run from Sikea to Fuso in anticipation of discovering survivors or wreckage of the lost ships.

[b]Saturday, March 6th[/b]
West of Wuwei, Yuxiang Clique soldiers begin to converge on the supply trains headed through Fuso into Clique territory. Sporadic fighting to maintain the supply train begins, but General Tujoki remains mostly mum on orders for his men. 

[b]Sunday, March 7th[/b]
The [i]Hond Committee[/i] is formed to discover the loss of three ships. Similarly, [i]Convoy Fleet Und[/i] is formed with three convoys ships and escorted by the destroyers [i]SRF Braakmans[/i] and [i]SRF Albach[/i]. The five ships are anticipated to reach Fuso by the middle of next week.

[b]Monday, March 8th[/b]
After the [b][color=gray]Republic of Kalpia[/color][/b] suffers a horrible earthquake in it's capital, damage estimates to repair the city are estimated to be 180,000,000 Kalpian Mariats. With thousands homeless, hundreds killed, the rebuilding has finally begun.

[b]Tuesday, March 9th[/b]
The [b][color=red]Empire of Mille-Sessau[/color][/b] donates 1,000,000 Sessauan Spheres to the [b][color=gray]Republic of Kalpia[/color][/b], with a message from Empress Alexandre de Vaille: "[i]Tragedy will befall all of us, but in Kalpian hearts there is strength. With this aid, feed and clothe those whose homes have been taken from them[/i]."

[b]Wednesday, March 10th[/b]
While patrolling, the Sessauan ships discover and rescue 41 men floating adrift 150 miles east of the Boccian coast. They're pulled aboard, thankful to be alive. Out of over 350 men, the rescued 41 Soroyan merchant sailors are the only ones left. The Sessauan ships patrol further, discovering floating debris from the Soroyan merchant vessels.

The Sessauan government, later in the week in a statement, said: "[i]It is abominable, deplorable and disrespectful to the sea and sailors that sail it to have forsaken the lives of the three merchant ships lost. A grievous callous for the sanctity of each ship may be expected when your shipyards can produce more vessels than any other in the world. This disgusting attitude toward their own servicemen may estrange Sesso-Soroyan relations in the future. We hope that these men, returned now to their families, can hope to forgive a government that had all but forgotten them.[/i]"

The three Sessauan ships headed toward Soroyan waters to deposit the sailors at Sikea before heading home.

[b]Thursday, March 11th[/b]
The [b]Kalpian Exploration Society[/b] begins exploring the unnamed island of the Oclardth colony.
