Less than 3 days to go until the expedition departure day. Finally decided to bring Corvette onboard the fleet carrier, along with Asp Explorer also. Perhaps Vette can be of little support to guard scouting ships of other crew; as for ASPE, it could be used as a emergency-rescue ship by installing repair and fuel-transfer limpet controllers.
Over the past few days this one had been in Pendilla, a system up above where the fleet carrier was anchoring to collect several raw materials consumed when heavily-engineered Corvette pulling her out of the shipyard of Shinrarta. Which were Chromium, Cadmium, Tin, Selenium, Arsenic and Antimony. A lot of geological signals were detected on the planets and satellites in the system, hence it was not a big pain to fill all of them to the capacity. Inventory level of Rhenium, Lead and Boron were still low, as they were gained only through mining, but no problem as there was no plan to need them urgently.
On the way back from the mats collection to the carrier this one dropped in at several starports and visited markets there - to purchase tobacco and snacks. Those were not completely out of the stock in the ship cockpits; there were several but without refilling it would most likely run out halfway, with no doubt.
| Purchased Food Cartridges (chocolate & banana bar) (tandoori chicken bites) (sour cream nachos) Synthetic Meat (beef jerky, teriyaki) (beef jerky, spicy garlic) Need to find before departure Food Cartridges (cheese nachos) (mango & strawberry bar) |
Two flavor types of food cartridges couldn't be found in the starport markets visited. Got to visit other places to find them.
While working on a random Tritium mining near the carrier's parking location, CMDR A - a long-term friend - contacted this one looking for the information on the expedition. She let this one know she was considering the participation, and at the end of the day she made up her mind. A little bit last-minute-ish, but glad to know she made up her mind. It seemed she was rapidly heading to the departure sector. Keeping this one's fingers crossed so that she could make it in time.
Personal To-Do list
