Brief summary of trip:
Freed, however briefly, from the needs of Mr. Simpson's new station project in Hudson, the crew and I decided to attend to our new contract in Ile de France, providing copper for OS&C's projects on station.
For the first leg of the trip, we picked up some Xenobiotic Filters at Cold Bay for a good price, and proceeded through Liberty to sell them to Susquehanna Station in Cortez. They were more than happy to pay us well for the product - I guess manufacturing is still in full swing onsite.
A quick survey of base economic data in the region showed that copper was in short supply, so off to the source to Coronado to find other sale points.
We chose Crayter's Timor-Leste Bazaar as it had resources onhand - with the side show of a nearby comet to briefly break up our trip with some sightseeing. However, that adventure didn't do wonders for our exterior when we ventured slightly closer than safety regulations suggested...
However, we now had our copper product, and headed through the local jumphole to Baffin in the Barrier Ice Field and towards the Tau systems.
Our quick trip through Baffin was scenic - although I'm certain I spied a base near Hodge and Podge and an established one at that... it must be scientists logging data on that environment.
Movement to the Taus, now back on the trade lanes, was quick - hopped through Tau-31 past Holman, and followed a group of traders to the Tau-23 gate.
Carefully traversing what was left of the Tau-23 lane infrastructure, we proceeded through the minefield protecting the Languedoc gate access, transmitted our credentials to the Gallic Navy standing by and were allowed to proceed into Gallia.
Finally we reached Planet New Paris and we scouted the base - not a quick find even though we were told it's location area. It seems OS&C were going for scenic views from higher orbits around the nearby moon of the planet, and sensors guided us to the base eventually, where our cargo was promptly off-loaded by pleasant docking staff.
