I'm really ready to get the hell out of this system. Now, What to take, where to go... 6t of Mil fuel loaded. Could not resist 8 beautiful Nexus 6 slave replicants. Bought them for 1043.8 a piece. I usually don't deal in the slave trade, but this Rachel Model is something more than special! ______________________________________________________________________ Commander's Log - Stardate: 21-May-3201 01:00 GMT Location: In Space, relative to Biggs High: Orbital trading post at a distance of 11.28 km. In system: Luyten 789-6 Map Sector: 0 ,-1 System # 2 Off Biggs. Wanted to check a couple of things before leaving the system. Its been a while since Spruce was out of the docking bay. Also, wanted to check on the girls -- make sure they were frozen up right and that cargo bay life support was functioning properly. Hanging out near two big Lynx Bulk Carriers. Interesting ships. ______________________________________________________________________ Commander's Log - Stardate: 26-May-3201 03:40 GMT Location: In Space, relative to Taylor Colony at a distance of 1.202 au.

Hope I can sneak past customs with the girls. ______________________________________________________________________ Commander's Log - Stardate: 27-May-3201 04:48 GMT Location: Haynes Landing Starport On the surface of: Taylor Colony In system: Tau Ceti Map Sector: 0 , 0 System # 6 Amazingly, I managed to get in here. Customs checked for authentication but did not look into the cargo hold. Gee, it must be my lucky day. Think I will nap for a while, then go hunt up some breakfast. ______________________________________________________________________ Commander's Log - Stardate: 27-May-3201 07:15 GMT Location: Haynes Landing Starport On the surface of: Taylor Colony In system: Tau Ceti Map Sector: 0 , 0 System # 6 Got some breakfast in the starport lounge. Jackson's Earl Grey Tea (imported from Old Earth) and some tasty Russian tea cakes (also imported). Still seems like some of the best stuff is out of Sol. On the mall now, looking for a contact to off load the replicants to. Need to be carful. ______________________________________________________________________ Commander's Log - Stardate: 27-May-3201 09:30 GMT Location: Haynes Landing Starport On the surface of: Taylor Colony In system: Tau Ceti Map Sector: 0 , 0 System # 6 Current Cash: 102691 Profit since last cash entry: 7340 Just sold the girls off to some slime at Mitterand's Trading Company, no questions asked. Sold them off at 1999.8 a piece. Now that's profit! Drive waste sold. Took a job off the BBS to deliver Imperial documents to a contact in the Luyten 97-12 system (1,-2,0). Pays six grand; 3 up front and three on delivery. 19.75 ly from Tau. Time to fuel up and go. ______________________________________________________________________ Commander's Log - Stardate: 27-May-3201 10:30 GMT Location: Haynes Landing Starport On the surface of: Taylor Colony In system: Tau Ceti Map Sector: 0 , 0 System # 6 Current Cash: 99526 Loss since last cash entry:-3165 Ready to travel. 8t of Mil fuel on board good for 21.33 lys. - More than enough. Upgrades: Scanner, 5 MW Pulse Laser Front and Rear Mountings. 2 Shield Generators. Autopilot, Radar Mapper, Atmospheric Shielding. Ready to go to work. Tau is nice, but a bit crowded. Off to another Luyten system. Hope I don't hit too much trouble, but I'm ready. ______________________________________________________________________ Commander's Log - Stardate: 27-May-3201 11:00 GMT Location: Haynes Landing Starport On the surface of: Taylor Colony In system: Tau Ceti Map Sector: 0 , 0 System # 6 Current Cash: 97026 Loss since last cash entry:-2500 Gee, was just going to blast out of here, when I found out I had a 2500 credit fine hung over my head! Guess someone must have found out about my trading in replicants. Well, it was still worth it. This place is sneaky, they did not even inform me to the best of my knowledge. Decided to pay the fine and be on my way. Nothing like too much law and order... ______________________________________________________________________ Commander's Log - Stardate: 5-Jun-3201 12:58 GMT Location: Nobleport Starport On the surface of: Camp Hooper In system: Luyten 97-12 Map Sector: 1 ,-2 System # 0 Current Cash: 100023 Profit since last cash entry: 2997 Hah, made it in here. Just lucky I guess. Out ran a couple of sidewinders on my way in, - they could not catch the Spruce. Camp Hooper is a blue planet. Quite beautiful; a small barren sapphirine rock dancing around a dying white dwarf sun. Perhaps I will do a little hunting in this system before moving on... ______________________________________________________________________ Commander's Log - Stardate: 17-Jun-3201 Location: In Space, relative to Luyten 97-12 2 at a distance of 1071.22 km. In system: Luyten 97-12 Map Sector: 1 ,-2 System # 0 Spent some time trying to go relative to a little wisp of a planetoid, Luyten 97-12 2. Unfortuantely, I could not go relative, even after a considerable amout of maneuvering and flying about under auto and manual. Another beautiful blue jewel in the darkness. Decided to return to the station around Camp Hooper. ______________________________________________________________________ Commander's Log - Stardate: 28-Jun-3201 05:10 GMT Location: Fort Schmidt: Orbital trading post In orbit around: Camp Hooper In system: Luyten 97-12 Map Sector: 1 ,-2 System # 0 Here at Docking Bay 4. Fun and games at Fort Schmidt. Autopilot sure seems to be goofing up a bit. Perhaps I should have another go at number Two. New Scanner shows a lot of activity outside of the station. Think I will go have a look see. ______________________________________________________________________ Commander's Log - Stardate: 28-Jun-3201 11:29 GMT Location: Fort Schmidt In orbit around: Camp Hooper In system: Luyten 97-12 Map Sector: 1 ,-2 System # 0 Just made a 100 credit donation to the Patrick Ford Pet Sanctuary. After all, a Commander has to be good to his mascot if he has one aboard... though lately I have heard a tale about one Commander abandoning his dog Noodles - but that just can't be true. ______________________________________________________________________ Commander's Log - Stardate: 28-Jun-3201 14:30 GMT Location: Nobleport Starport On the surface of: Camp Hooper In system: Luyten 97-12 Map Sector: 1 ,-2 System # 0 Came back down to Camp Hooper to read the BBS there. Perhaps pick up a new job or something. I wanted to take this couple over to the Zeaex system, but I was warned it was a tough system to get into with a lot of renegade Imperial couriers running about. Nah, not a good idea in a Cobra Mk I like the Spruce. Guess they'll have to wait. ______________________________________________________________________ Commander's Log - Stardate: 28-Jan-3201 18:18 GMT Location: Nobleport Starport On the surface of: Camp Hooper In system: Luyten 97-12 Map Sector: 1 ,-2 System # 0 Just spent some time over at the shipyard looking at an old used Anaconda freighter. Geee, was she beat. Anyway, one of the mechanics there was telling me of his harrowing adventure trying to get into the Zeaex System (3,-2,2). Apparently he barely made it out of there with his life and ship. He was in a Viper; got jumped by a Sidewinder and a Gecko, then a Courier! ______________________________________________________________________ Commander's Log - Stardate: 29-Jun-3201 08:00 GMT Location: Nobleport Starport On the surface of: Camp Hooper In system: Luyten 97-12 Map Sector: 1 ,-2 System # 0 Current Cash: 95839 Loss since last cash entry:-2595 Well, I couldn't resist. Think I will try to get into the Zeaex System. Off loaded my shield gens and the two 5MW pop guns, squeezed in a 4MW Beam. That should afford me a bit of protection. The yellow star of Zeaex calls. Looks like quite a populated system... Lots of orbiters and a class-M planet in orbit number four. Now, can I get in ?? ______________________________________________________________________ Commander's Log - Stardate: 9-Jul-3201 Location: In Space, relative to Democracy at a distance of 94000 km. In system: Zeaex Map Sector: 3 ,-2 System # 2 New Kills: 10 Total Kills: 32 What a slug-fest getting in here. I fought 10 ships in the little Spruce! Sure am glad I loaded in that 4mw beam; could not have handled those ships without it. Took on 3 asps: slow relatively easy kills. Several Cobra Mk3 and a few Mk1's as well. The combat was tough and furious. Sure hope Zeaex is something special. Making my approach to Democracy now. ______________________________________________________________________ Commander's Log - Stardate: 10-Jul-3201 09:14 GMT Location: In Flight above the surface of Democracy at a height of 17125 meters.

Hey, how many pilots do you think make log entries while on final... not many I bet'ya. Back to work. ______________________________________________________________________ Commander's Log - Stardate: 10-Jul-3201 12:35 GMT Location: Newtown Starport On the surface of: Democracy In system: Zeaex Map Sector: 3 ,-2 System # 2 Current Cash: 96614 Profit since last cash entry: 775 So, here I am in the Zeaex System. It is 31.04 lys from Sol and in the extreme upspin region of the sector. So far, considering all the work to get in here, Newtown has not impressed me, but then one must not judge a whole system by a single starport. I'll have a good look around and report. After all that combat, I'll be looking for the nearest watering hole... ______________________________________________________________________
