Unexpected delivery
30 Sep 2024Conelrad
30th September 3310. I didn't warn anyone aboard the carrier about my cargo. There were odd pieces on my manifests before, couple of them are stored in a secured containment unit for their corrosive nature. This time, I caught our dispatch on duty by surprise when she handled my cargo manifest: 4 units of Eranin Pearl Whisky, 4 units of Apa Vietii, 4 units of Centauri Mega Gin and 12 tonnes of venerable Hutton Mugs. After landing I told Mr. Raphael Holt, our chief logistics officer, to place the containers near the Office, so we could get the contents out promptly. And I sent a notice to security control about upcoming event, they don't like surprises, as I was instructed by Mr. Efren Hardy. 'Why such a number of Hutton Mugs, though?' asked Holt. I told him that we will put most of it on sale or deliver somewhere sometime later on, but in truth, I bought them on an impulse of a hoarder.Tomorrow, the staff and I will gather the crew on one of ship's large hangar bays and we will hold a small celebration of our commander's (that's me) achievement of getting 'Triple Elite' rank. And then I'll put this 'Triple Elite' crest PF sent me on the ship I was flying when I got it - it happened to be our utility surface hopper, of all the ships in the fleet.
