It was like yesterday when Kuban has been woke up by a phonecall middle of the night in a bedroom of Freeport 1. A weak yellow light shone in the corner of the room next to the starfilled window. His eyes hardly opened he answered the phone tired. A male voice praised him for different actions before he called Kuban to appear at Livadia Shipyard within the next week. The phonecall end and Kuban still didn't recognize what happend. Another commercial trip he thought and he looked out of the window to the stars before he felt asleep again.
The journey to Livadia Shipyard was very quiet with much time to think for Kuban about what type of cargo they might have for him. Arriving at the station the pilot steered him to hanger three and Kuban could shut down the engines of his ZBT-100Z 2 Transporter. As usually he sat at the bar to order a Scotch. He had not to wait too long till professor Albert Pirog of the Zoner Research Division entered the room and steped towards Kuban.
"Good evening captain Kuban, we have await your arriving here at Livadia Shipyard."
"Greetings professor Pirog, i am interested what you have for cargo this time."
"Cargo? No, my friend. We have an other task for you. ...and by the way, you might get your luggage. We await you at platform L10 in one hour."
With his worn bag Kuban took the glass elevator to platform L10. His eyes wide opened he had a glimpse of a ship which was anchored in the dock outside Livadia Shipyard. This must be a dream Kuban thought. It looked like the Jinkusu, a legendary ship he had heard rumors about. Majestic it was suspended in the dock, breathtaking about its size and beauty. Just in this moment the elevators bell got Kuban back from dreams.
"Ah there you are captain." professor Albert Pirog called. "Welcome to the Zoner Research Division. We have a big task for you. Our civilisation has to grow bigger and only the mighty brains of our researchers fulfilled a construction which can take us deeper into space to discover new planets for us to settle down. You will take the command of this Jinkusu colony class ship and we trust our future researches in you, captain Kuban."
"Greetings captain, i am your first officer FO Adam Malczyk and the ship is almost ready for take off."
The professor mentioned modest, "Well we have not set a callsign for her yet, but we thought about 'the mobile colony ship "Freeport-17"'."
