As I was drudging along making my deliveries the incoming message alert on my communication panel zings to life. With a press of a button I see the message:
Code:
From:Wesgard
To: all [FTS] members
Subject: meeting at Scarborough Station
Ok guys lets have a casual meeting over drinks at Scarbough Station to see how everything is going for each of us.
With that I check my current position to find that I am in the Cambridge system en-route for planet Leeds of the Leeds sysem. I press another button on the communications panel which opens the intercom of my ship so I can speak to my entire crew at one time.
Staxx: "Men I hope you are all ready for a bit of R&R for we will be stopping at Scarborough Station after making our scheduled stop at planet Leeds. That is all for now."
After returning to reading some documents I am called by my first officer in regards to the ship just arriving in orbit of planet Leeds. I instruct him to personally handle the ships affairs until we are underway for the Newcastle system.
A few hours later the first officer informs me that we will be underway momentarily thus I find a stopping point with my reading and make my way to the bridge. The course to Scarborough is a short one to have to plot into the navigational computer in comparison to some of the courses I have had to plot. The journey is thankfully uneventful and I dock with little wait. As the crew and I disembark from the ship I tell them that they are free for 48hrs. Then I make my way to the Chief of Ship Readiness.
Staxx: "I am in no rush to get underway, I just gave my crew a 48 hour leave. I have some meetings to attend and I didnt want you to think you needed to get my transport ready in a hurry."
With that taken care of I make my way to "Cheers Pub" to see about catching up with the rest of the men of the Flying Tigers. When I reach the pub I see many of guys are sitting at a corner booth I wave my acknowledgment to them then make my way to the bar.
Staxx: "Hello, I am Staxx a pilot with the Flying Tigers as Im sure you have already either heard or figured out we will be here from time to time and I just wanted to introduce myself to you. If you would be so good to get me a mug of Britionia Ale it would be appreciated."
I step up to the men at the table.
Staxx: "Its good to see you guys after the long transport ride to this new galaxy. I hope you all are well, if any of you need anything I will try my best to help, you guys all know that. With that said Im going to stop talking and just drink my beer."
