What do you mean I have to pick it up in person?

Woke up today after slogging 300+ LY yesterday to collect some cartographic data in the ol' Bison. I don't even remember where it was at this point, I've seen so many system names show up on my screen. And of course the trade computer is on the fritz, so I can't look at that. I took a look at my messages and saw this beaut:To: CMDR GAMERCOW
From: The Fuel Rats
Dear CMDR GAMERCOW,
We would like to thank you for your participation in the recent community goal that we sponsored. With your help and thousands of others, we were able to collect over 6 million Tons of Hydrogen Fuel to help Jacques make their epic jump to Beagle Point. Your final contribution was [7620 tons] putting you in the [Top 15%] of all contributors to this goal.
To receive your reward, please return to Jacques to collect your [6,700,000] credits.
Sincerely,
The Fuel Rats
P.S. Make it snappy, you don't want to have to go to Beagle Point to collect, now do you?
Well, crappity. Gliese 1269 was 350 LY away, and Jacques was packing his bags to head off to the rim. I was tired from my trek yesterday, but I knew I had to make the trip back. I punched the coordinates into the navigation computer, and it spat out a route with 73 stops. Well, at least I'll get more cartography on the way there. This Advanced D-Scanner has paid for itself and then some.
Okay Bison, time to get back on the trail.
