Back from the xeno hunt
05 Mar 2021Korzhakov
After a long time spent in the Cellano System, tonight the Archangel jumped into Wolf 1301 and went into orbit around Navia. This is the home system of EXO, my wing, my brothers and sisters in arms. It is good to be here again. I have taken a trip to "The Dive" as we call Saunders's Dive, our HQ station. I am arranging for the resupply and outfitting of my fleet carrier as we have been away for the last 5 months. While Artemis Lodge was able to keep us supplied with food and we could get critical supplies brought to us with our own fleet. It is good to be back in a core system with everything at our fingertips. Jean and I are going to take a nice vacation now. We are letting the crew take extended paid leave from the ship as well. It's also a good time for crew rotations since we don't need to be at full capacity for while now.
Jean and I checked into the hotel and headed over to Bar 1408 where we were meeting with Bailey, the Captain of the Archangel. We grab some nachos and beers and start to discuss the next adventure for the carrier. After maintenance cycles and repairs, and once the crew has had a good rest, we might take her back out mining. Shore up the carrier's bank account a few hundred million more. She already has years worth of reserve, but it's always nice to be able to do more, and were thinking about adding more services to her soon.
After dinner and while still enjoying some drinks, Jean pulls out her terminal and transfers 5,000,000 into Baileys account as a bonus for this last trip. We are very pleased with how she runs the ship and the resultant crew moral. We want to make sure we keep her around.
As we are parting ways, I let Bailey know that Jean and I will be down on Navia for a while at a resort just unwinding after the last 6 months of combat chaos. After we chill out for a bit, we will get back to serious planning on the wedding and see if we can make it everything we want it to be.
It's nice to be back in the bubble, lets hope it stays this way.
