RIMWARD EXPLORATION - Stardate 3302-01-08
08 Jan 2016Ramses Overdark
Finaly I received my Galathea. After 4 months of my original contract with Lakon I am receiving my specialy modified Asp Explorer.
She is a beauty , and will be my home for the next months.
And better of all , it is modified to my exact specifications. Lakon was very acomodating.
When one is going to be in deep space explorantion , some conforts are required.
MY pilot chair was customized to fit my body more confortable than a standart one.
The command controls fitted to my specifications to allow faster response.
The common replicator was changed to more sofisticated version, only found on those Orca luxury boats.
And several exquisite recipes were added to its menu. Exploring can have its own taste.
The same was done to my 2 buggys, no longer bugged , the controling software was changed to a more eficient one.
Thrusters were upgraded , sensors were upgraded. The mining and attacking weapon more finely tunned.
The command console adjusted to my specifications too.
New tires with better durability , and a few spares and fixing machine were added at my request.
Some cargo hold were reffited to store minerals I Ican find on planets as well geological samples.
A contract with 2 mining companies will return some very good profit if I can find some planets rich with valuable
mineral, but proof must be provided. So a need some space. Triple security hatchs , and triple ejection mechanism were
added in case I find something and it becomes "dangerous" to be kept aboard.
Some cargo hold were reffited to add some spare parts space. And the tools to make repairs both in space and landed on
some airless moon. It always pays to be carefull. So short of a new ship unassembled in the hold I have spare parts to
fix my baby.
My jump drive was modified to accept a special fuel to allow my jump range to be extended. And I installed a micro
refinery to synth my special concotion. The minerals used are pretty scarse , but my non-bugged buggy should be able
harvest some in the planets to come.
And as any explorer worth its ship , I could not forget to install the most advanced holo-recorder in the ship and the
buggys. One never know what beauty scenery one would find out there.
Well , the station should receive and load my final supplies tomorrow. After that I will make its maiden voyage, test
its systems , fine tune any necessity on my trip until I reach the border of the Bubble. After that..... the void.
End of log.
