慢遞員BEDIR小姐更新：「我們這條線可以追溯到疫情剛爆發的時候，當時我在安卡拉，慢遞員何子在香港。當時的想法是在因為武漢的紙張和印刷成本最低，在那裡印刷「黑書眾」的第一期報紙，但是武漢那個時候是疫情第一個爆發的地方，整個地方封城了；我查了一下在安卡拉印刷的話會多貴，原來幾乎和中國一樣，所以我們就決心在土耳其印了。我們想的是可以帶著盡可能的多少去不同的地方，例如馬德里、鹿特丹、提華納/聖地亞哥和墨爾本，然後剩下的可以帶到香港；但鹿特丹之後，因為全世界的COVID都在旅行限制我的其它行程被取消了。當時我給中繼夥伴接力慢遞員吳索小姐和Timmetje先生留下了一堆，其中許多份隨緩件號HQL-364去了曼谷、墨西哥和香港；兩年後的今天，我終於再次接下了這個任務，拿回了大部分留下的報紙，並計劃在何子回香港的途中，把它們帶到伊斯坦布爾進行中繼。不幸的是，因為她的航班被改變了，何子的旅程沒有去成，她不得不重新訂票經過首爾。最後，報紙在我位於鹿特丹的Marina家的房間里等待轉運」
COURIER Ms. BEDIR UPDATE：This correspondence roots back to the beginning of COVID, when I was in Ankara and courier Ms. PORTABLE was in Hong Kong. The idea was to print the first newsletter of Black Book Assembly in Wuhan, where the paper and the printing costs would be the least, but Wuhan, where the pandemic first broke out, was the eye of the storm then, and everyone was at home in full confinement. I checked about the costs of printing the newsletter in Ankara, which was almost the same as Wuhan, so we went for it. The idea was that I bring as many copies as possible with me to different places, eg, Madrid, Rotterdam, Tijuana/San Diengo, and Melbourne, then bring the rest to Hong Kong. The rest of the trip after Rotterdam was cancelled though, doing to worldwide COVID shutdowns. I had left a stack of copies with relay partners Amy S. Wu and Timmetje at the time, and many of them made it with HQL-364 to Bangkok, Mexico, and Hong Kong. Today, two years later I've finally picked up the mission again, taking back the majority of copies left and planning to bring them to Istanbul for relay with PORTABLE's stopover on her way back to Hong Kong. Unfortunately, PORTABLE's journey didn't happen becuase her flight was changed, and she had to re-route through Seoul. At the end of the day, the newsletters are now waiting tranfer in my room at Marina's house in Rotterdam; awaiting relay
