Planet Sprague proved interesting, albeit a bit disheartening.
After the last passengers departed, I was performing a routine pre-check and walk-around of the ship before scouting for any fares looking to head off-world, when it seemed some of the flight deck maintenance crew were oddly, I don't know, 'off'?
I couldn't put my finger on it, until I asked one of them for supplies, and noticed his co-worker inhaling deeply nearby in an alcove. After retrieving my items, the staff member noted my observation, and mentioned rough days mean 'slogging' it a bit. He had a source if I was interested. I politely declined, thinking thankfully I do most of my maintenance firsthand... I'd hate to see what checklist items get left off in the state they seemed to be enjoying.
Back in the terminal, an eager cluster of tourists were seeking to head out to the independent system of Provence, to attend Monte Carlo's casino and raceway destination. I was pleased - visiting that system and in fact that Freelancer station was on my list of activities to simulate some further business. I signed them up and they proceeded to get established in the nearby cabin.
Thankfully, our journey was only scenic, and not dramatic. No passenger issues or ship systems emergencies - even the minor fluctuations kept in order. I could use more trips like that!
The navmap directed us to the Provence gate coordinates in IDF, and we made it to the system surrounded by the nebula they call 'Mer Méditerranée'. As the passengers partook in the popular cloud watching, I was able to plot a course to Monte Carlo Freeport through the haze.
After securing the ship upon landing, the crew and myself took to exploring the station, and getting some details on the raceway nearby. Being well versed on these tourist attractions can only help convince clients they are making the right decision on their destination choices - the knowledge we provide for planning trips comes at no charge!
