Gypsy Trader Log Entry

Load of alloy from Caliban to Harvest; brief layover on Dragon's Egg* to pick up a salvaged reclamation filter.
Shaving 6 days off a 12 day run: Astrogation went favorable this time, so no need for a hard burn; keeping coin in the fuel tank.

Have been looking forward to this run, with the promise of a few better than average meals this trip; The alloys are all but sold to a contact on Harvest... better quality foodstuffs will go for a good price on Caliban or D.E.

[*Personal Log tango encrypt: Did a minor favor for Kepten Pandora, or rather, a friend of hers... there was no problem with pickup/delivery.

Given the circumstances back on Caliban, ...or maybe I just wanted to hear her voice... sent a wave to Kepten Pandora of Sputnik, mid way through my run to Harvest. Thought Pandy and her vessel would be well on their way to Wherever by now.  Sputnik however is landlocked by Caliban Port Control; that is never good, and what a hole to be stuck.

Am concerned there may have been a hitch in her recent plans. Wishing there was something Gypsy Trader could do to help, but I am pointed the wrong direction for that... hope it is enough that Kepten Pandora is tough and clever: End Personal Log]

Gypsy-T Cleared to enter Harvest atmo; 6 days 14 hours from Dragon's Egg. Not a bad run... the
alloy ingots were paid for and off loaded before the engines cooled.

Still have 2 tons of raw bearing crystal that I picked up on the Dragon’s Egg for a very good price... (and yes, the paperwork is in order). Gypsy may have another hop in world; (rumor has it there may be a small manufacturer or two on Harvest that will welcome the load.) There is some medium manufacturing work done here despite the Ag-business emphasis... machinery breaks ...the larger cities produce some replacement parts on the cheap. Hoping I can dodge the in-world trade licensing and sell direct to a buyer:  fingers crossed.

First things first: Button up Gypsy in a quiet berth on the backfield and go find a real meal.

 Second Day on Harvest: Gypsy is fueled and supplied but will have to start paying out berthing fees in 16 hours... and she still has 2 tons of bearing-crystal aboard taking up room which I really need to sell and get it off the ship. Following what leads I can.

Third Day on Harvest : [*Personal Log tango encrypt: 9 hours before berthing fees kick in... Buyer found... 3 hours from here by rented hauler... cannot fly Gypsy to location without raising eyebrows... (she’d be there in 30 minutes)... wait.... SHINY IDEA! End Personal Log]
