Stuck in Polo Harbour

How things change in 24 hours. I was wrapping up the paperwork for a biological waste delivery when I received an urgent call from an old friend back at the bubble. After years of swearing off space flight he said he was back. I handed the keys to the ground crew, gave them a few extra credits, and asked them to make sure they get it all cleaned up... of course one of the shipping containers leaked and being a planet delivery, it was running across the floor.I jumped in my Krait Phantom with the massive jump range and started racing for the bubble... 22k LY away, hoping I wouldn't be too late. The story my friend told me was
I made it as far as Polo Harbour and after a nights rest, a solid breakfast, and stop by the barista window, I wandered toward the docking bay. Thought it was odd to see a line at the check in/out window. Quickly learned they have some system-wide issue with the security system and a technician has been dispatched. At least I'm not stuck here alone, I'm sure my friend will understand.
Here at Polo Harbour, it's a small community and we'll be friends at least for now. I guess it's as good of time as any to start up the karaoke machine!
