I got the reports in today, and once again there are refugees stranded on the stations that the Thargoids are attacking. The information was a bit clearer this time, getting into the specific types of Thargoid ships, this time the Medusa Class. I normally would take the U.S.S. Discovery out to do this type of mission, however something tells me that the heat resiliance of the U.S.S. Cassini would be much more suited for this task. Besides, we would only be sacrificing a total capacity of 44 extra persons per trip. While the Discovery can most certainly handle the job, again I feel that the Cassini would be a better fit at this time.
Prior to making the run, I have dispatched the Discovery here to NGalia, at Green Enterprises, just in case. While Discovery can jump farther, and run longer, her 128 ton fuel tank takes much longer to fill than the 64 ton tank on the Cassini.
I am bringing the crew with us on this mission, and we can hopefully make a difference yet again.
I will continue the journal when we arrive at the destination. For now, I have to outfit the Cassini to hold the passengers, and make sure we still have enough cargo room to store offers from passengers who wish to thank us for our help. We will be making a stop at Ceres Tarn to outfit the Cassini, and along with it put a few Aegis devices on her, should we see a Medusa or two. Ceres Tarn is a 4G planet, and not one I would recommend landing on without a docking computer. We will ditch the computer and all unnecessary items once we dock with the rescue ship just outside the station, and begin the evacuation procedure.
One special note of interest, we did get an Elite rank in Exploration, and with that we were able to unlock the Founder's World, which contains Jameson Memorial station. I look forward to meeting Engineer Jameson, as I have heard many good things she can do for our ships. More once we arrive.
