慢遞員BEDIR小姐在長期離開後又回到了香港，這次是在港島柴灣的朋友那住；收件人剛好在附近的一個金屬和陶瓷工作室工作，派送成功
Courier Ms. BEDIR is now back in Hong Kong after an extended period away, this time subletting from friends in Chai Wan on Hong Kong Island; the receiver is ironically working nearby at a metal and ceramics studio, final delivery complete

到了巴黎在Bouloi街25號跟慢遞員凌小姐交接，用16份《黑書眾半年多報》換取6本《辻潤》；慢遞員BEDIR小姐曾愛上一個和尚，在去香港的路上好奇地讀了《辻潤》，最後把這本書作為她人肉的收穫保留下來了
Handover in Paris at 25 Rue du Bouloi, exchanging 16 copies of the Black Book Assembly More-Than-Half-A-Year-in-Review for six copies of Tsuji Jun with courier Ms. LIN; having once fallen in love with a monk, courier Ms. BEDIR curiously reads Tsuji Jun on her way to Hong Kong, ends up keeping the copy as her courier bonus

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

慢遞員CRAMER先生的更新：「之前拿的大部分HQL-364的報紙今天還給Amy了；在羅特丹走的路線是1.6公里，照片在附件」
COURIER Mr. CRAMER's UPDATE：Most of the zines from HQL-364 went back to Amy today. I'm enclosing my visual documentation of the transfer (a distance of 1.6km)

慢遞員官小姐更新：「更詳細的信息——我坐了中華航空航班號CL-74，1月10日早上7:02到達台灣；我還是在隔離中，要到25號00:00才被放出來；因為上個星期在台灣有了第一個醫生病例，之後還有他的四個同事也病了，這邊都對於外來的人更謹慎；機場的工作人員都非常有經驗，整個入境過程比較順利——有一個專門的的士安排送從機場來的乘客直接到隔離酒店；酒店處於台中的一本比較中心的位置，離我曾經工作了四年時間（2014-2018）的國立臺灣美術館不遠」
COURIER Mr. KUAN's UPDATE：For more detailed information, I was flying with China airlines flight CL-74 and arrived at Taiwan at 7:02 am, 10th January. Indeed I'm still quarantined and will be free on 25th midnight. As the first doctor got COVID-19 a week ago, and 4 more colleagues of his were later infected, people here are more cautious with travellers from abroad, who are more likely to bring back the virus. The airport staff were all experienced and well-trained regarding the whole arrival processes. I went back to Taichung directly by a special taxi which only takes travellers from the airport to quarantine hotels. The hotel is located in a busy area in Taichung, not too far from the National Taiwan Museum of Fine Art, where I had worked for more than 4 years from 2014 to 2018.

慢遞員CRAMER先生的更新 COURIER Mr. CRAMER's UPDATE：
HQL-364 is currently quarantined in a hotel in Taichung; I hope it's not a major letdown that we have only been able to bag 13 copies because of the bulkiness of Yenting's luggage. My agreement with Amy was that she would give me a large stack of copies and that I would return to her whatever wouldn't fit the luggage. The remaining 62 copies are currently at my home and still need to returned to Amy, who lives nearby. As a special detail, she gave me the copies in a bag of the German drug store chain DM, which was founded and is owned by an anthroposopher (and very popular among Taiwanese tourists visiting Germany, along with the German-made "China-Öl"/"China Oil" remedy on which we both, Yenting and me, are making a zine). Anthroposophy—which was also the belief system and ideology underlying Joseph Beuys' 'social sculpture'—has recently come under closer critical attention since anthroposophers are at the core of the Corona denier movement in Germany and have organized mass protests together with neo-Nazis; I will let you know as soon as the 62 copies have returned to Amy.

Final 1/3 of the dispatch still in relay in Rotterdam

最近慢遞員們都不太敢出門，結果BEDIR小姐的第一批報紙雖然一個月之前到了香港，但是現在才能約上交接；路邊的戴口罩聊天都圍繞著疫情、科幻片和跟人見面傾偈的超現實感⋯⋯
Couriers have been hesitant to leave the house recently, so while the first 1/3 of dispatch HQL-364 arrived in Hong Kong one month ago, it is only now that the final handover of Ms. BEDIR's batch could be made; a sidewalk chat with face masks on circles around epidemic related conversation, science fiction and the weird feeling of speaking to people in person...

2020-03-19，02:27：
慢遞員MEETEREN小姐和RHEA先生回香港的時候是剛開始新規定所有從國外來的人（除了從澳門和台灣來的）進行兩個禮拜隔離的第一天；當然這也包括了緩件HQL-364，所以⋯⋯過兩個禮拜見！
Couriers Ms. MEETEREN and Mr. RHEA come back to Hong Kong in the first few hours that a newly imposed quarantine is put on all people entering Hong Kong (except from Macau or Taiwan); dispatch HQL-364 is, of course, to be in isolation as well, awaiting relay in two weeks

BEDIR小姐本來要去好幾個國家才能回香港，可是因為疫情分散到全世界她所有的計畫被取消了；「後勤」突然跑快好幾步——BEDIR小姐要早回來；緩件HQL-364「馬上要起飛」
Courier Ms. BEDIR's previous travel plans have all been cancelled due to the shutting down of much of the western world; to LIGHT LOGISTICS' serendipitous advantage, courier Ms. BEDIR will come back to Hong Kong much sooner than expected—dispatch HQL-364 "about to take off to HK"

2020-03-11，12:41 UTC+1：

慢遞員MEETEREN小姐和RHEA先生到達曼谷的同一天立刻往外開始派送，第一個收件人是曾經當過慢遞員ANANTAWAT小姐（見HQL-198），Poop Press的女王；慢遞員WISSINK的觀察：「貌似黑書眾還分散的比新冠病快」
Same day arrival and immediate dispatch to Bangkok receiver Ms. Lee ANANTAWAT, a former courier for LIGHT LOGISTICS [see HQL-198] and also the queen poop of Poop Press; according to courier Mr. RHEA, 'Seems like Black Book Assembly is moving faster than Corona'

慢遞員Lara van MEETEREN的報告：「我們收到了父母給我們帶到阿姆斯特丹的報紙了，它們還找到目前的【家】（看黑色行李袋）；希望不會到了泰國收到什麼有創意的旅行限制：）
UPDATE from Lara van MEETEREN：We received the newsletters and they now have a home. They’re in the plane to BKK; let’s hope we’re not hit by innovative Thai travel restrictions：）

2020-03-08，13:23 UTC+01：
在阿姆斯特丹呆了兩晚後，慢遞員BEDIR小姐早上到羅特丹然後呆了她行李箱到羅特丹的Katendrecht半島找Lara van MEETEREN小姐的父母（羅特丹的旅遊網：「早期羅特丹的唐人街，Katendracht原來吸引了不少海員和妓女——現在這個小半島變成了一個吃喝玩樂的文藝天堂！」）；他們明天會送走他們女兒和RHEA先生，剛好也轉送HQL-364的差不多一半
After a brief stay in Amsterdam, courier Ms. BEDIR arrives to Rotterdam in the morning and heads with her suitcase to the Katendrecht peninsula (according to Rotterdam tourist information, 'Once Rotterdam’s Chinatown, attracting homesick sailors and lusty whores in equal measure, Katendrecht is now home to the hip and happening—and a dream destination for foodies!'), where the parents of courier Ms. Lara van MEETEREN live; she drops off less than 10 kilos of the dispatch for them in preparation for their send-off meeting with their daughter and Mr. RHEA the next day

超人慢遞員BEDIR小姐本來只能帶印量300份報紙的一半，但是她突然很精神就拎了全部上火車，早上從安卡拉到伊斯坦堡，下午立刻開始派送給讀者，然後晚上登上了飛機去阿姆斯特丹
Superwoman courier Ms. BEDIR initially planned to bring half of the 300 edition print of BBA newsletters with her, but in a spurt of energy lugs all 300 in the morning to Istanbul by train to begin distributing to readers in the afternoon, then in the evening boards a plane to Amsterdam

2020-03-03，13:07 UTC +03：
因為敏感內容和武漢肺炎的疫情，香港『黑書眾』的第一期《半年多報》沒法按計劃在武漢印刷；但是憑空冒出來一個女英雄BEDIR小姐，黑書眾的參與者之一，一個因為香港疫情沒法上班無聊回老家了的土耳其同胞。她自告奮勇找了一位叫「穆罕默德·阿里」的印刷大哥來幫忙印刷。雖然看起來這樣遠距離的外包生意不是划算的買賣，但「後勤慢遞」覆盖面夠廣，已追蹤到BEDIR小姐準備3月7號從安卡拉坐火車到伊斯坦堡再飛去荷蘭。「去你的，新冠！」
Because of certain sensitivities and the onslaught of COVID-19, the release of the first ever Black Book Assembly newsletter is put on indefinite delay, but the heroic moves of one contributor, from Ankara, leads to the unexpected turn of East and Southeast Asian updates being supported by a Turkish printing brother by the name of Muhammad Ali. Such outsourcing may seem uneconomical for an independent affair, but LIGHT LOGISTICS has it tracks already en route with new courier Ms. BEDIR's happenstance work jaunt to the Netherlands, scheduled for 7-9 March. Fuck you corona
