Ladies and Gentlemen,

A test run of the Taurus shuttle's capabilities was performed this morning on the relatively simple single leg run from the Annex's current location at Reppu Bend to the Colorado jump gate and I am happy to report that the results are even better than I had hoped.
Having redundant teams and equipment allows us to perform dual scans simultaneously.
Dual scans allow us to compare and verify scan accuracy without making a second pass, except in the exceptionally difficult areas such as high density base locations and the few unavoidable asteroid areas. (where the Cortez to Manchester jumps gate sits within the Roatan Ice Crystal Cloud, as an example)
Here, we show the shuttle on location during performance of the Galileo scan.
Additionally, scanning in Colorado has already begun and we may be able to complete scans in New York and California today as well, Barring any unforeseen obstacles.
As you can also see, there were some minor occurrences of hostile ship activity in this area which were not a significant threat to the shuttle, but may indicate the necessity of Security Teams actions during the base movement itself.


Yours Respectfully,


D. Jamison
Chief of Logistics
