Order of Magnitude
16 Dec 2023Conelrad
As of now, december 16th 3309, I, Dimitry Peterson, callsign 'Conelrad', declare myself as the 'captain-in-chief' of Drake-class Fleet Carrier Vessel Pertinax Casus, registration number K9F-71Z, and a sole owner of the ship, thus available for hiring.It's a different scale of the business now, by order of magnitude larger than whatever was possible before. The captain (or should I call him 'first officer' now?) is the man named Efren Hardy, who has a good service record on capital class merchant ships. He and his crew took this assignment with professional ease, though it's their first time on a ship like this.
And merchant vessel it is not, for a while at least, our first order will be to provide assistance and service for those fighting with aliens. The ship will stay a jump or two away from the frontline, near the Titans. I myself will return to combat, and will order the ship to jump in case the system where it's positioned will be overrun.
That is all for now.
