Beer Run
29 Dec 2020Shattermage
CMDR's Log, Dec 29 3306:We completed our first jump: from Ross 775 to TZ Arietis. TZ is the closest system to my home base at Van Maanen's Star and also just happens to be a carrier administration system. Despite it being controller by Frogcorps and not Hutton, parking it 6ls from arrival around the first planet should make a nice central location to support BGS ops. CMDRs WTFSlayJay, and JaredCrue have come on board impromptu to assist in loading the carrier full of Tritium, Beer, Liquor, and Wine at Dakota's suggestion for the imminent trip to the crow's nest, and will also accompany us on the journey. I've informed them to ensure their ships are properly outfitted as outfitting services will not be available.
As it only seems proper for a new Hutton Carrier, the carrier will jump to Hutton Orbital in Alpha Centauri to take on a relatively small payload of Hutton Mugs and Centauri Mega Gin once we complete stock of tritium reserves. From there, we will continue to the Yokusu system to load up on low cost Beer and Wine to maximize profit at Rackham's, which is buying for 30-51k per ton, then one last jump to Uszaa to complete loading of Liquor. We well take one off day to recoup before setting off for HIP 58832 tomorrow night. The journey is 6 hours one way. We will remain there for New Year's celebrations, then return possibly on the 2nd. Looking forward to all the views from above the reach of smaller ships.
CMDRs JaredCrew The 3rd, and SteakButler will be joining us for the trip as well.
