With this, I mark the maiden voyage of the newly christened OSI-Resolute Zoner Whale Transport. After some minor refits and with a little love, this ship was cleaned up in no-time. Captain Hansen did a mighty fine job caring for it as the Kikimora, and I hope to do the same so that I may pass it on to another OSI Captain in the future.
To business. The following runs were completed:
Stage 1 of 6 - Ames Research Station to Freeport 10: Cargo: 4996 units Consumer Goods Escorts/Fees: None Notes: Nothing to report
Stage 2 of 6 - Freeport 10 to Freeport 11: Cargo: 4996 units Niobium Escorts/Fees: None Notes: Nothing to report
Stage 3 of 6 - Freeport 11 to Planet Gran Canaria: Cargo: 4996 units Iridium Escorts/Fees: None Notes: Nothing to report
Stage 4 of 6 - Planet Gran Canaria to Freeport 14: Cargo: 4996 units Deuterium Escorts/Fees: None Notes: While cruising through California, my trade lane was cut and I was asked, rather kindly really, for a "donation" to an orphan's fund by Liberty Rogue Liquid.Dreams and Outcast Dramus. I gave one million credits to each and continued on my way.
Stage 5 of 6 - Freeport 14 to Ames Research Station: Cargo: 4996 units Water Escorts/Fees: None Notes: I almost didn't believe it, but there were actually other independent traders carrying Deuterium to Freeport 14 that I passed on my way out of the Yukon leg. Good to see some activity and initiative from non-Zoner traders to help supply our remote bases.
Stage 6 of 6 - Ames Research Station to Freeport 10: Cargo: 4996 units Consumer Goods Escorts/Fees: None Notes: Nothing to report
Final Notes:
I am pleased to send this report on the first, of what I hope to be many, run of the OSI-Resolute. It pleases me greatly to be able to more effectively aid the most remote Zoner stations. I look forward to my next venture.
Also, Director Caudill, I don't believe I ever got around to congratulating you on your new position as CEO. OSI is bound for great things under your leadership, and I'm confident you'll do as well as your predecessors.
