Brief summary of trip:

Spent a few days since arrival exploring Provence, trying the raceway and visiting Marseille. There was a local faction running routes but the language barrier must have kept us getting past 'hello'.

Thinking about proper presentation of our organization was nagging at me, and unfortunately my trustworthy Grouse wasn't going to give the image I wanted to the public to remember. I decided to again upgrade the ship - to a Civilian Ferry! That doesn't give us much extra room, but it is the more passenger friendly craft.

The 'net said that Bonn Station was the closest location that had the Democritus- so we found Gallic passengers wanting to check out Rheinland, and were ok with my Bonn destination.

Again, during the trip, my attention was drawn to ALG activities - they are one busy group! In Cologne, I noted a small base outside just outside the orbit of Planet Saarbrucken - my guess again working to clean up and recover the wrecks scattered throughout the nearby debris field. I give them props, it's a large project!

We grabbed a load of cigars as additional cargo from Gallia before departing - I know we've had no problems offloading such commodities in the past. This turned out to be the case once we reached Bonn Station - traders grabbed them almost as fast as I entered them into the inventory system!

So upon entering the ship dealer, I felt we had a bit of a disadvantage as this savvy salesman had noted my queries for this particular vessel and that they originated from a Gallic terminal. Hard to hide enthusiasm for a product when it is known how far you've traveled to see it!

As it turned out, though, all was not lost - the only ship of this type they had was not only decommissioned from OS&C, but it had a hard ride through some house public transit fleet. Despite their best efforts to hide such wear and tear, it showed. I played up my disappointment enough for a significant discount as well as credit hours in their bay to apply some detailing by the crew and myself. I must admit I was impressed by our efforts - seems the crew gives the extra 10% when overtime and Rheinbeer are offered!

We took some time remaining awhile on station to relax - but my mind was still racing towards next steps... time to get some contracts and clients... maybe cold calling or advertising to get the word out about our services. I knew our next run back to Liberty would be on auto-pilot with all these ideas running through my head!
