All,
Thanks to the efforts of Captain Riley and the crew of the Aluminum Falcon, we are well on track to unveiling our latest project. Some of you are no doubt aware of the distressingly large, habitat-like station that was found off the beaten path, deep in the Tau-44 system's Massakar asteroid field a month and a half ago. Its exact purpose will be revealed when we are ready to begin its use, but for now let me just say that when that time comes, we will finally have a real home.
Additionally, I have an operational report. This evening after a friendly chat with some Auxesians in Coronado, I escorted the mercantile guild train Overscan to Cambridge, then up to the Gallic Border Worlds to deliver a load of Med-Stasis Bands to the Council and back down to safe territory. I brought back with me a sample of the Med-Stasis Bands from Cambridge Research Station and a sample of what the Council commodities broker I talked to on Planet Marne said was a highly refined form of promethium used for tempering Gallic fusion reactor output. It's thoroughly safely locked up in tamper-proof shielded canisters, and will be studied for possible uses.
