Janes Horizon starport corridors
When was the last time this one wrote a diary on his next journey plan? Summer? Yes, it was the summer of 3307 as far as he can recall. If he is not wrong it's been already more than 4 months. Another 4 months. The year 3308 is already here. Before he knew it.
Over the past these months he had been hopping around G 203-47 system indulging himself in purely money-making, by working on mass number passenger transportation or bulk volume commodity trade on his corvette Ironblood. It's not that he was low on funds for the journey preparation; he had got several minor errands to deal with and between those he thought it wouldn't hurt too bad to fully fill up the gaps by chasing some credits. By the end of the year he heard CMDR Junagu, captain of the fleet carrier Blodeuwedds Branch, had bid farewell to the gentle apes of the squadron then set off on his another expedition. This one cannot be on board as he has his own solo travel plan this time but he wishes the best of luck to the captain and everyone on the carrier.
3308 has come, minor errands all cleared up and finally this one has flown back to Arexe. At the moment he is running around in the starport of Janes Horizon to buy foods and goods to pack on board of his exploration ship.
- Grocery: Fruit and Vegetables (including bananas), Food Cartridges, Synthetic Meat, Coffee
- Apparel: a couple of Jackets and Pants
- Chemicals: Water, Synthetic Reagents, Hydrogen Fuel, Mineral Oil, Liquid Oxygen
- Medicines: Basic Medicines, Advanced Medicines
CMDR Godthab having chat with bar tender Faye at Janes Horizon starport
Last but not least, this one needs to select good alcohols and buy them in cartons to store in the ship storeroom. He went from bar to bar, from upper starport concourse level to underground bottom red-light district. Grabbed his favorite Long Tale Ale and Lavian Brandy, common beer and liquor.
Back on the surface level concourse he strolled into the starport bar to have some chat with Faye, the bar tender.
When to depart?
By the end of next week probably.
When coming back?
No Plans so far, after a couple of months ... or by the end of this year. Has no idea yet, honestly.
I see. Come back with lots of tales, alive.
Sure thing.
Cartons of what he bought are arriving in the starport hangar. He is all set to depart once all those cartons are loaded onboard the Diamondback Explorer.
CMDR Godthab out.
