Making the Trek to the Jred Frontier, pt 1
Captain's Personal Log - SS Good Times II
16 May 4501
Pandya Orbital – Aseni Republic of Vega
The Cincastrellan "gift" keeps gnawing at me. That data crystal they gave us after the Galvao mess supposedly holds coordinates to a Cazador-class parts cache. Military-grade salvage just sitting in some dead drop in the depths of Jred Space, waiting to be claimed. Too good to be true? Absolutely. Too tempting to ignore? Unfortunately not.
Medium-Term Objectives:
Today's fiscal bandaids:
17 May
Baji Rao – Independent
Zincfyd Mining's company town makes Greg's World look cosmopolitan. A hundred thousand souls slowly turning the planet into Neoswiss cheese. We offloaded mail (8 tons - light for a Guild run) and refueled without incident.
Notable Omission:
18 May
Byzantion – Independent
Genevieve's voice crackled over the comms: "GT-Two, you're cleared for Bay 12. Try not to track asteroid dust on my nice clean docks this time." The way she works customs, you'd think she owns the port authority. Just a curt nod from the inspectors and we slid through like regulars.
Sold the wood at 1050cr/ton - a respectable markup.
Evening with Gen:
Her apartment smelled like real Old Earth basil and that nice perfume I smuggled for her one of my previous runs. I cooked gnocchi in her apartment, we caught up on spaceport gossip, and I asked if there was any odd jobs I could do.
Funny thing. There was!
So it turns out her journalist friend Aksu Syl has powerful enemies on Khagan. The kind that make corporate assassins look polite, from what I gather. (and here I was imagining something a little more direct and low-profile, like some customs rules to be bent or interpreted creatively)
19 May
Byzantion – Independent
The rest of the crew wasn't idle yesterday. Beñat acquired a psi-detector (looks like a toaster with anxiety). Aidan stocked up on suppressants - the psionic kind, not the orbital bombardment kind. I mention "the Syl Sitch". "The situation with Syl", I have to clarify.
After her shift, Genevieve came aboard the Good Times II for proper negotiations, since this was more than what I was aiming for, but I'm genuinely interested in helping her friend. After some calls made to who knows who, Gen's able to offer: transport (saves us 400k in fuel), a flat 100k fee for Syl's safe retrieval, and moral satisfaction (priceless, but doesn't pay repairs or fuel)
We're agreed: Worth the detour if we park the Good Times safely here. Though I'm starting to suspect "quiet mail runs" are a statistical impossibility for this crew.
