Eureka station maybe a midrange modular base in Cambridge but can sometimes be a busy hub of traders.
Eureka, runned by my uncle Aaron was once the first station to welcome ships coming from Omega 3 and therefore was widely used
as a stopover to collect business information and make deals.
The departure of the Norfolk to the Leeds system was another
blow to the already declining business because most of their crew put their leisure time to good use in Eureka's bar.
"Nathan, my boy how is life on that little freighter of yours"
We share the same first name but uncle Aaron likes to use my second name.
"Uncle, hows the business?
" Ill tell you my boy, things were looking bleak but since our Jumpdrive factory is now running at full capacity business is looking better.
Uncle Aaron is directing us to the bar where he suddenly pulls me to a storage unit and locks the door.
The crew is unaware of this and enjoys the exotic dancer on the bar.
"Listen to me Nathan, things appear to look better but our financial advisor tells me to generate more revenue"
"To that and we are going to expand"
"My sources in Bretonia Armed Forces are telling me that now the war has ended, the admiralty are concentrating to rebuild up there fleet at a incredible speed and most of fleet will be carriers and battlecruisers"
Uncle poors us a "Highland Park 12"
"Ice ?
I am nodding and wondering why he is telling me all this.
Uncle emtys his glass and continues
"Docking modules, thats the ticket Nathan"
"But in other to build that kind of factory we need to upgrade this
base and that takes time and lots of resources.
"We are behind shedule and to that end i want to offer you a deal"
"We need lots of Optronic Arrays from Kusari to make this work.
Uncle Aaron starting to smile
"Tired of running that freighter hey"
Uncle opens a door to the hangar and points
"Behold, a Titanic heavy tanker transport class for you"
"For me?
"Yes, uhm well its yours after you deliver all the Optronics we need
for the upgrade"
Still baffeld by Uncles offer, i see myself at the brigde of this beauty and respond in kind
"Hell yes"
After a quick tour at the engineroom uncle Aaron tells me that this
transport named "Parracombe" has one of the biggest hold available
and just had its 6th month overhaul by Border Worlds Export engineers.
After i informed my now intoxicated crew of this deal and sad my
goodby to Uncle, we transferred everything from the now useless freighter to the "Parracombe"
A week later when we are entering Kusari space, it suddenly hit me;
What makes this different from running a freighter.
