Carrying on

After a night in the black searching for Tritium, we headed out this afternoon at exactly 14:00. The next 7 hours will be taken easy by everyone else, however, I am taking the time to plan the next few weeks.---
Chona, finally back in the bubble, and it only took a total of 12 hours of flight. Why here? Oh, we have to pick up a crew mate. Alexandra is here visiting home and celebrating with her brother Gordon after obtaining his Pilot’s Federation License. While I'm here, apparently, the federation wasn't happy with my carrier name. I'll be heading over to Smoot Station to try to clear this up.

"We're sorry command, but we just can't allow you to keep that name." the agent says "We've had too many complaints about it coming across their com systems, and way too many traffic control operators mispronouncing it."
"Damn it to hell... why can't I have ANYTHING nice!" I furiously exclaim. Handing over my pad to him I state, "FINE! Then I'm renaming the ship to this... but I'm KEEPING my identification number."
"I think we can make this work commander. Co-ma-Hash-yee it is." he pronounces. "Identification number KNW-92W has been updated."
I nod and take my pad back. Still upset I turn to leave. "Have a nice day commander, and stay safe out there." I hear from behind me and wave it off as I walk away.

Off to buy some Tritium. I've gotten word of some Sell orders out in 59 Virginis that will turn a 50,000cr plus profit. I can't wait here for Alexandra and Gordon any longer. Looks like he'll be breaking in that pilot's license after all, I've gotten word from Alexandra that he'll be joining the crew.
