Commander Adrella//Jameson Memorial//3305-12-04 - A new ship
04 Dec 2019Adrella
The experiments with the Talon didn't go as planned. The vessel is now sitting in Jameson Memorial, as while having a beer, I got chatting to Commander Exigeous, who was telling me of the boom in painite mining. I decided it might be worth investigating, as it seemed painite might be a little faster than void opal core mining.I kitted out a Type-9 freighter, figuring I needed a dedicated freighter anyway. Naming her the Greymouth, I headed out, plotting a course for Xi-2 Lupi. Along the way, a pirate attempted to intercept me in the Krauanan and Corisci systems. I submitted in Krauanan, and the pirate's lasers barely scratched the class 7 shields while I charged my drives and continued on. In Corisci, the pursuing vessel didn't even get a chance to intercept before I'd calculated my next jump.
Once I arrived at Xi-2 Lupi, I headed for Soldier's Respite to drop off my shipment of Shinrarta Water. I decided it was best to start the mining fresh, so holed up on the station. The painite wasn't going anywhere.
