While flying in Manchester, I came across a guy in the BAF...we were both fairly bored, so we got to talking. He sympathized with my shipyard difficulties, and even offered to retrieve the needed part for me from one of Bretonia's shipyards! What a generous offer...I accepted, of course, though I'll definitely have to pay him back as soon as I possibly can.
So finally, my armored transport is complete! Her comm ID is the same as my name for now, but she's already been christened "Pacifica" in my mind. Someday, I want to make that name official; but for now, I'm just happy to have my ship at last.
Finally, I can wear the uniform of an OSC ship captain; I'd have been embarrassed to wear it while flying that Turanic Raiders light fighter! Of course, she is very poorly equipped right now, with a bare minimum of weaponry and a standard civilian transport shield. I'm going to mine a bit of silver so I can afford accommodations for my first load of passengers.
All told, this is one of the proudest days of my life.

EDIT: I was contacted by {BD}Kokuryu, and asked to relay the transmission to the OSC CEO; they would like to open diplomatic channels of a sort, apparently. I hope some good comes of this.
