Interesting meeting
05 May 2017Leigh Fury
Well...that was interesting and a bit odd. I met with the Consortium rep at <redacted>. The Consortium offered membership even before the trip starts, and oddest of all, they offered a very large amount of credits up-front, already wired back home....and five times that amount at the end of the trip if I sell my exploration data to them rather then Caucuma. Of course I accepted. The up front credits will go a long way for my parents to be comfortable at Taylor before I get back. Caucuma could use this exploration data, so I will have to decide what to do when I get back since I accepted membership and will be expected to sell to them.
I assume they do not trust me...their is a heavy veil of secrecy about this trip. They've given me a rally point for tomorrow, but have said nothing else except it may be as long as twelve weeks.
I'm off to the Maia area and then who knows where else. I think they have specific areas they want to explore; I'm not sure if they are looking for something or what.
