Check for carrier jump plan, none, righto then, carriers restin, capitaan;s resting, crews out n about, time to go see what i can find, plotted a 500 ly short jump set, Come on Destiny, we're off. First dozen yield nothing more than a couple of water worlds, a couple of ammonia worlds, half dozen high metal terraformables, and a dozen icy rings with fuel singles. Nothing great at all.
Wireless crackles again, uh oh... what is it this time. Ah! no worries, Mon Capitaan is going to make a few unscheduled jumps, i could easily get to the destination but not much coming up in this region so i'm going to see if i can beat... Time, and get on board for the jump, lets see what auto plot comes up with. Ha... perfect... jump to a neutron, then a second neutron and i'm there with 5 minutes to spare, too easy.
Destiny's locked down, bars open, what to do?....
