La Grande Expédition 3305

The shakedown trips proved my choice was right. The Excelsior was a dream to fly for mining and missions. The number of times I was able to escape Anaconda's annoying attempts was prefect.After a few trips for the Federation, I was granted the rank of Rear-Admiral which meant I could purchase one of their nice big Corvettes. Now I had my choice. Not bad for a few months work.
"Time for a change of pace. I am going to join the La Grande expedition. It's up to you if you wish to stay onboard." I talked to my co-pilot. He just nodded and grunted an ok.
I took it as a yes and let him get on with the supply run.
Pulling up the details for the expedition I signed up and checked out the route. Not too bad a bit of trip around the inner core. Four days to the starting point and kit the Excelsior out for deep space. Nice and easy. Looking down the checklist, remove the mining kit, add an SRV hanger, repair units and rate a few of the modules to D.
Planned the trip to Bragurom Du, 9 jumps nice and short. Finished the checklist and called my co-pilot.
"We are leaving in 4 hours make sure you have everything ready."
So fours later, clearance given and off we go. Next stop Bragurom Du.
