Hello, Captain Franklin

We at the Headquarters are happy to hear that you have fixed the engine problems of the Reverie. This is very good news indeed. We can also see that you have visited our Newest acquisition to the Orbital Family from the Pictures you sent to us. I hope you find the Newly Acquired Cannes Resort Station to your liking. We have some plans for an extensive renovation of the station in the coming months, so you can still see her in her old glory.

As for the Reverie, we are happy to see that she is back in action. The Reverie is, after all, one of our most Popular vessels in the fleet. It's always good to have some luck to solve Problems, and as it seems, the Reverie was sailing under a Lucky Star on her Trip to Gallia. I am happy that this Lucky meeting led to the solving of this Rather Large Problem. I am happy to see the Reverie on the Regular Service again. I also want to send a thank you to the Woman who brought one of our most Popular ships back on Track. I think a 2-week all-inclusive Vacation on an Orbital Destination of her Choice should be a Nice Reward for her. I will also make sure that she gets some Pocket Money to spend on some nice things during her holiday as well. I am sure that you can arrange that, and the Company will reimburse you for your Expenses.

For now, I wish you wonderful Cruises.

Safe Skys,
Caitlyn Cross

Subject: Pilgrim activated, Update 3, and more

Dear colleagues, Directorin,

I am writing to inform you that the preliminary work on the recently reactivated Pilgrim, once known as the E.V. Morgenstern, has been completed. Shortly, we will approach the Rheinland Ministry of Culture to certify the authenticity of our discovery.

At the same time, inspired both by the boldness of our colleagues across the Liberty border and, not least, by what we uncovered aboard the Morgenstern, I have secured for the company our very first Bulwark.

Director, I know that some months ago you had approached Bristol with the intent of acquiring one to be converted into an exploration yacht, only to be met with a negative response. That made me wonder: why not use such a vessel for what it was truly conceived? A genuine exploration ship.

Think about it—why leave the burden and responsibility to the individual captains of the Triton to find new routes and new wonders, when we could do it ourselves with a ship purpose-built for just that? Bristol have shown foresight and approved my proposal; I hope the company here will be equally forward-looking.

Should you wish to discuss the matter further, Director, you know where to find me on Baden Baden. I already have several ideas buzzing in my head.

Unsere herzlichsten Grüße,
Herman Schmidt und das Team von Baden Baden.

Bonne journée, I hope this communication finds you well

Thank you for your kind words, warm welcome and confident support regarding what we can bring into the Orbital Spa and Cruise family. The ragtag fleet comprising my holding from my fathers ex-business is currently moving through Cortez. We will soon be entering the orbit of Curacao from which I will dock my personal Regent Class yacht, Zulora, and report straight to Headquarters for initiation, orientation and planning for the accompanying vessels in my group, comprising

• Oasis Passenger Liner - in need of new livery and probably a refurbishment to bring to OS&C standards
  
• Pachyderme Advanced Train - basically just needing a new livery including ONC designation
  
• Dorado - in need of new livery and probably a refurbishment to bring to OS&C standards
  

Ships that fly but need more work, possibly for the mothball fleet

• Shukensha Luxury Liner - serviceable but needs major overhaul probably back to the Tsukishima Yards but would then make a good WSL vessel
  

Ships that are still airtight but for cost effective reasons may need scrapping

• Enterprise Luxury Liner
  
• Heavy Tanker
  
• Armoured Transport
  

Hopefully this gives you an idea of what remains of the previous fleet, a small number of vessels where each filled a niche role which however may not be suitable as OS&C rebuilds and expands, all for discussion as we come under your parent wing.

Salutations,

Esteemed Dear Captains and Crew Members,

We are fully aware that receiving a notification originating from the Company’s Legal Department may have caused some initial concern; please be assured, however, that the present communication is intended solely as an internal operational notice.

We are pleased to inform you that, following the coordinated efforts of our subdirectors and their respective teams, the flagship of the Triton Fleet, TE-Karuizawa, has obtained authorization to operate within the territories of the Crayter Republic and the Auxo Technocracy.

Captains and crews assigned to the Karuizawa are hereby requested to adhere strictly to the following operational guidelines while operating within the aforementioned jurisdictions:

Karuizawa guidelines for Crayter Republic and Auxo Technocracy

- to refrain from direct transit between the two territories, or, at a minimum, to avoid disclosing to local military or inspection authorities—should any inspection or control occur—that voyages have been conducted within the other jurisdiction;

- to avoid any reference to the concurrent existence of transit arrangements with both States;

- to maintain a minimum distance of twenty (20) clicks from Valravn Citadel, except in cases of verified medical emergencies or substantiated structural emergencies affecting the vessel.

With regard to captains operating across all Company fleets—possibly excluding those of the White Star Line—we further wish to advise that, under the coordination of Subdirector Balzac, our team has successfully reached an understanding with the government of the Gallic Union concerning access to the Tau-23- Languedoc corridor.

The logistical advantages of this development are self-evident, particularly with respect to reduced transit times to and from Riviera resort and Cannes for goods originating from Kingdom of Bretonia and Kusari.
It is, of course, understood by all parties involved that goods exported from Gallia are, in principle, not intended to transit through this corridor under the current embargo regime.

That said, captains are expected to be fully aware of the practical distinction between what is formally discouraged and what is operationally permitted when properly framed as transit. All movements through Tau-23 are therefore to be treated strictly as mere passage, with no commercial activity conducted or declared within the corridor itself.

Code of Conduct

- Accordingly, all captains transiting the corridor—especially those assigned to the ONE Division—are advised to exercise the highest degree of operational discretion.

- In the event of inspection, detention, or questioning by Crayter, Bretonian, or Kusari naval authorities within Tau-23, captains shall explicitly declare Tau-44 as the intended destination, presenting corresponding bills of lading and routing documentation, specifically identifying the luxury liner Argenton.

- Should the vessel be found in possession of goods subject to embargo, captains are instructed to state—clearly and consistently—that the passage through Tau-23 constitutes a mere transit through a disputed or contested jurisdiction, undertaken solely for the purpose of reaching a station under the administration of the Gallic Union.
Such passage is to be characterized as functionally equivalent to access to a Gallic exclave reached via non-Gallic or contested space.

- It should be emphasized that this passage does not constitute an export outside Gallic jurisdiction and does not alter the legal status of the cargo. The determining factors for embargo compliance remain the origin and final destination of the goods, both of which fall within Gallic Union administration.

- Captains are advised not to characterize the transit as commercial activity conducted within Tau-23 itself, nor to acknowledge any change in the legal status of the cargo during passage.

-No further legal interpretation is to be offered on board. Captains should avoid debating sovereignty, recognition, or enforcement policy, and should refrain from speculative or political statements.

- Captains encountering sustained objection or detention are instructed to curtail further discussion and to contact Company offices without delay, so that the matter may be addressed at the appropriate institutional level.

On behalf of the entire team, we wish you safe operations and a productive weekend.

Subject: "Fleet" upgrading

Bonne journée,

All of my "fleet" has now arrived either at Curacao or transited to the mothball fleet location. The journey together with a more in-depth appraisal of the vessels has resulted in the need for amendments to the original "fleet" announcement.

In particular the Oasis Passenger Liner is in a much more degraded state that anticipated. On deep inspection there is servere fatigue throughout the thrust structure with cracks permeating in many of the engine mountings and some distortion within the payload attachment points. It is envisaged by the surveyors that this major structural damage would not make repair an economically viable route to take. Whilst parts can be salvaged it would be reckless to try and maintain this aging vessel. (Detailed report sent via direct messenger).

This in not the only detrimental news, the Armoured Transport is also only fit for parts, this was however originally flagged so is not as problematic as the Liner, or as expensive to replace if this niche vessel is needed.

One a slightly brighter note the Shukensha Luxury Liner, originally described as "serviceable but needs major overhaul" turns out to be an accurate, or even a little pessimistic statement. The structure of the vessel is remarkably sound, probably due to its modest flight time, and the engines and other engineering support systems just need servicing and refurbishing to current specifications. The passenger compartments however will need a complete rebuild especially if this vessel is destined for a cutting edge White Star Line experience.

It is with a WSL designation in mind that I seek approval for this vessel to be committed to this route. It is envisaged that this can be accomplished with funds from "my company" without extra OS&C investment. It would of course utilise all of my incoming funds but would of course mark the final amalgamation of the ships into the overall Orbital Spa and Cruise portfolio.

Salutations,

Hello, Captain Plantago

I have read your Reports with Great Curiosity—both your Original and the new follow-up. I have to say that it always saddens me to hear when a liner reaches the end of its lifespan. Especially as my own Red Velvet Club now nears 100 Years of Service. But I also have to admit that I take extensive Care of her and give her more time in the Drydocks than a Normal OS&C Liner gets per year. Plus, my Junker Origins allow me to notice most Damage much sooner than the average Captain. My wife calls it my "Junker Voodoo" when I can feel it when something on board isn't running quite right.

I am sure the Mothball Officers will consider the damage when they have to move the liner. For now, it sounds like Liner will be good for spare parts and maybe some Crew Disaster Training. We will not consider her for a third party Sale in these conditions and will exclude her from the Used Ship Sales Lists. She can still be of use to us, and we will make sure to give the old Lady an Respectfull Retirement. She served well and Deserves these kind of Respect. If you need a Replacement for the Oasis i am sure we can find one that is serviceable in the Mothball Yard, or we can simply order a Brand New one from our friends at Baltimore.

The Armored Transport was already Flaged as a Mothballed Spare Parts Donor. These Ships are Truely the Workhorses of OS&C Secure Transportation. Sturdy and Reliable with a hull that lets it survive long enough under fire till help arrives. I am sure that we can make some use of the parts, especially the armor plating. These are, after all, highly sought about items to upgrade ships for the more dangerous parts of Space.

Now lets come to the good news. The Shukensha is truly a Marvel of Engineering, and our friends from Kusari have built a Ship that is in its own League of Luxury and Specialty. I am glad to hear that the ship is in better shape than originally expected. We will still book some Time in the Dry Dock at Baltimore for your vessel. But if you, as the Capitan see it necessary, we can also send her up to the Tsukishima Liner Yards. I have also spoken with the OS&C Design Department, and a group of our Best Interior Designers and Craftsmen will be on the way to your Ship soon. We can bring the Ship up to the Standard that you wish her to have. I have to confess that I am curious what kind of Theme you will give to your liner. After all, this can be considered somewhat vital to the kind of guests that you hope to attract. I myself have always preferred a healthy mix of Luxury and down-to-earthness to attract a Diverse mix of Passengers. After all, i cant Stand the High and Mighty for too Long before they bore me to death.

Anyways, once the Shukensha is ready to Enter Regular Service i see no Problem at all why she shouldn't be able to join the prestigious White Star Line Family. As for your Funds you should not be worried about this. After all, we have to pay you for the Mothballed Ships. Even when they aren't able to be in Active Service anymore, the parts are still Highly Valuable on the Secondary Market if we were to sell them. But even when we don't sell them and use them ourself we still pay the market value for them. I think this should be a nice boost to your Reconstruction Project. And before you Complain i have already given orders to accounting to send the money over to your Accounts.

For now i would again want to thank you for your Verry Detailed Report. If you need any help, please just ask u,s and we will send anything you need.

Safe Skys,

Oyi You,

I'm going to need a free comped ticket for a potential supplier of holotainment stories, A Harriet for the Pilgrims Path, standard fair, with a drinks package included, and can we have their access code setup as Tipseas Tours? I'll let you know if anything comes of it.

[04.03.2026 18:32:53] OS&C|Larry's_Lounge: Larry: Or maybe a little Rum, or Sake if you are feeling a touch of the foreign
[04.03.2026 18:33:26] OS&C|Larry's_Lounge: Larry: Oh, and some /Ale/ from Liberty if you want to drink some piss mixed with a tablespoon of liqour
[04.03.2026 18:33:33] Heinrike.: Ur... how expensive is a some red? Had plenty of rum and vodka, but some wine? Where's it from?
[04.03.2026 18:34:22] OS&C|Larry's_Lounge: Larry: Uhh, the bottle just says 638 Red, personally I don't touch the stuff but there is a lad who buys a glass every few days

[04.03.2026 18:42:51] Heinrike.: *shrugs* Wasn't judging. Folks got to make a living somehow right, I guess.
[04.03.2026 18:43:03] OS&C|Larry's_Lounge: Larry: And what better way than to get paid to drink!?
[04.03.2026 18:43:13] Heinrike.: [Pours a tipple of the wine into a flight flask]

[04.03.2026 18:50:09] OS&C|Larry's_Lounge: Larry: Depends, if you want on one of those fancy White Star Line ships, on the order of tens of thousands of credits...a night
[04.03.2026 18:50:23] Heinrike.: Fucking hell
[04.03.2026 18:50:30] OS&C|Larry's_Lounge: Larry: Same goes for the yachts and what not, but you know one of our mottos, second class doesn't mean second rate
[04.03.2026 18:50:35] Heinrike.: And your sorry boat? *smirks, taking a sip*
[04.03.2026 18:51:04] OS&C|Larry's_Lounge: Larry: Oh I'm on the cheaper side, but we getcha with the amenities, you gotta pay for every little thing
[04.03.2026 18:51:19] OS&C|Larry's_Lounge: Larry: Including your ration of air used during the trip
[04.03.2026 18:51:41] Heinrike.: Rough gig for any sorry sod who comes for a drink then... what's the average bill?
[04.03.2026 18:52:22] OS&C|Larry's_Lounge: Larry: Around 250 credits for a single bed, closer to 500 one way if you want a door, plus food, drinks, my generous tip
[04.03.2026 18:52:46] OS&C|Larry's_Lounge: Larry: maybe 1,200 - 1,500 credits to go from say New London to New York
[04.03.2026 18:53:08] OS&C|Larry's_Lounge: Larry: Two days, three nights, arrive a little after midnight local time on Manhatten
[04.03.2026 18:53:20] Heinrike.: Dyamn. Larry, you're running the most expensive /dive/ I know. That being said, sounds like a fun time ey?
[04.03.2026 18:54:04] OS&C|Larry's_Lounge: Larry: Now now, I gotta charget that much, do you know how hard it is to find a dancing Santa Claus that moves every time
[04.03.2026 18:54:11] OS&C|Larry's_Lounge: Larry: someone opens the door to the bathroom?
[04.03.2026 18:54:57] Heinrike.: *blinks* What the fuck.. you serious? What kind of place is this?! *laughs, taking another sip.* Sounds wild.
[04.03.2026 18:55:48] OS&C|Larry's_Lounge: Larry: Gotta keep the people entertained, not everyone gambles or drinks their problems away
[04.03.2026 18:56:04] OS&C|Larry's_Lounge: Larry: Some of them you gotta distract with colors and flashing lights
[04.03.2026 18:56:22] Heinrike.: Darn straight. Ur... what if someone ain't got enough creds for the journey. Is it a no-ticket sitch, or there payment plans
[04.03.2026 18:56:24] Heinrike.: or something?
[04.03.2026 18:56:41] OS&C|Larry's_Lounge: Larry: I mean, someones gotta to the dishes and it an't me
[04.03.2026 18:56:55] OS&C|Larry's_Lounge: Larry: Seriously though we do offer payment plans and pay as you go plans
[04.03.2026 18:57:12] OS&C|Larry's_Lounge: Larry: Would not recommend the pay as you go and runing out of credits, the bread we give out is harder than the floor
[04.03.2026 18:57:19] OS&C|Larry's_Lounge: Larry: I pull myself off of every morning
[04.03.2026 18:57:39] Heinrike.: You pull yourself off every morning? Larry... ew.
[04.03.2026 18:57:54] Heinrike.: *chuckles*
[04.03.2026 18:57:56] OS&C|Larry's_Lounge: Larry: I'd like to see you drink your weight every night and make it into the bed
[04.03.2026 18:58:11] OS&C|Larry's_Lounge: Larry: Hell once we had a three day party when some Don from Malta visited
[04.03.2026 18:58:16] OS&C|Larry's_Lounge: Larry: Three, whole, days
[04.03.2026 18:58:26] OS&C|Larry's_Lounge: Larry: They drank the ship dry
[04.03.2026 18:58:35] OS&C|Larry's_Lounge: Larry: I was using bottles I didn't even know what they were
[04.03.2026 18:58:47] Heinrike.: Fucking hell. Larry. I'm going to have to get therapy for some serious fomo.
[04.03.2026 18:59:00] Heinrike.: What are you doing to me here?
[04.03.2026 18:59:02] OS&C|Larry's_Lounge: Larry: I was a recyling can by the end of it, and all that rattling the next day of the empties
[04.03.2026 18:59:32] OS&C|Larry's_Lounge: Larry: Just pointing out that you and your friends for the low low price of....uh....well..../something/
[04.03.2026 18:59:38] OS&C|Larry's_Lounge: Larry: Can enjoy all the Lounge has to offer
[04.03.2026 18:59:56] OS&C|Larry's_Lounge: Larry: I should look up the bill on that run, I honestly don't even remember it
[04.03.2026 19:00:14] Heinrike.: Alright, well. Riddle me this Larry. A girl's got bugger all in the bank. How is she meant to enjoy all the lounge has to
[04.03.2026 19:00:28] Heinrike.: offer? *shakes her head something theatrical*
[04.03.2026 19:00:40] OS&C|Larry's_Lounge: Larry: A blood contract, signed at dawn, beneath a full moon....
[04.03.2026 19:00:48] OS&C|Larry's_Lounge: Larry: *bursts out laughing*
[04.03.2026 19:01:14] OS&C|Larry's_Lounge: Larry: We do have some seats you can buy for the trip, only 15 credits a night, one meal included
[04.03.2026 19:01:27] OS&C|Larry's_Lounge: Larry: But do you understand that you'd be sitting or standing for /days/
[04.03.2026 19:01:40] Heinrike.: *chuckles, taking another sip.* Well... sounds like we'd be partying for days. Right?
[04.03.2026 19:01:57] OS&C|Larry's_Lounge: Larry: I am reasonably certain managment removed any chair wide enough to lay down on to sleep
[04.03.2026 19:03:00] Heinrike.: Sheesh... sounds like an adventure, but a sore one. Just going to have to save up a few pretty pennies I suppose.
[04.03.2026 19:03:45] OS&C|Larry's_Lounge: Larry: I'm told we also accept trinkets, bobbles, and dodads as methods of payment
[04.03.2026 19:04:17] Heinrike.: Trinkets... bobbles... dodads... a'right, that sounds more my speed.
[04.03.2026 19:04:39] OS&C|Larry's_Lounge: Larry: *Laughs* No doubt managment will have fun trying to price out that one
[04.03.2026 19:05:20] Heinrike.: *chuckles* Sure... hmm... *strokes her chin in thought, stealing another sip. Looking out towards the sun, cheeks a little -
[04.03.2026 19:05:51] Heinrike.: rosey from the wine.* Just having a think what trinkets you might enjoy. You... you into hypnotainment Larry?
[04.03.2026 19:07:13] OS&C|Larry's_Lounge: Larry: I have heard of it, I think a few of the others keep them in stock, you'd think with the level of depravity there is
[04.03.2026 19:07:22] OS&C|Larry's_Lounge: Larry: We'd have that as well
[04.03.2026 19:07:33] OS&C|Larry's_Lounge: Larry: Onboard
[04.03.2026 19:07:44] OS&C|Larry's_Lounge: Larry: Ahoy DSE
[04.03.2026 19:07:56] Heinrike.: Depravity? Gosh, you sound just like Ith-home. Ur... alright bear with me. *gets out the seat, heads out of vidcom shot*
[04.03.2026 19:07:58] Licor-T: Ahoy
[04.03.2026 19:08:01] OS&C|Larry's_Lounge: You won't be needing a defibrillator after a visit to Larry's libation station!
[04.03.2026 19:08:39] OS&C|Larry's_Lounge: Larry: *rasies his eyebrow as high as it can go which apparently isn't very much*
[04.03.2026 19:09:27] Heinrike.: *comes back, sitting down into the chair with a sigh, a bunch of cases in her hands.* Let's see what we've got.
[04.03.2026 19:09:52] Heinrike.: Dusk Raiders two... Colorado Noir...
[04.03.2026 19:10:07] OS&C|Larry's_Lounge: Larry: *snorts* Dusk Raiders, I heard it was a flop
[04.03.2026 19:10:25] Heinrike.: Yeah, it's shite. Cult following though. Always that one person asking for it.
[04.03.2026 19:10:35] OS&C|Larry's_Lounge: Larry: /freak/
[04.03.2026 19:10:43] Heinrike.: Ha! Bet.
[04.03.2026 19:10:46] OS&C|Larry's_Lounge: Larry: *looks around* not that I'm one to talk I suppose
[04.03.2026 19:10:55] Heinrike.: That so? You a freak Larry?
[04.03.2026 19:11:09] OS&C|Larry's_Lounge: Larry: Takes one to know one
[04.03.2026 19:11:14] OS&C|Larry's_Lounge: Larry: *chuckles*
[04.03.2026 19:11:15] Heinrike.: *snorts* Sure does.
[04.03.2026 19:11:36] Heinrike.: Ur... Omicron Blur? No idea what that is... heard of that before?
[04.03.2026 19:12:05] OS&C|Larry's_Lounge: Larry: By the name I could make an uninformed guess
[04.03.2026 19:12:29] Heinrike.: Go on?
[04.03.2026 19:12:47] Heinrike.: *looks at a case front and back, frowning as there's no title to be found.*
[04.03.2026 19:13:19] OS&C|Larry's_Lounge: Larry: I mean I saw an interpretive dance on Freeport 11 once about Nomad  mating rituals
[04.03.2026 19:13:45] Heinrike.: Riiiiiiight. An interpretive dance, huh? Well, let's put this one in the Larry pile, yeah?
[04.03.2026 19:14:20] OS&C|Larry's_Lounge: Larry: *bursts out laughing* sure but no guarantees when I'm not going to be working a shift
[04.03.2026 19:15:05] Heinrike.: *shrugs* You said trinkets and baubbles, right? You didn't say anything about having a free working shift. Right. What else
[04.03.2026 19:15:07] Heinrike.: we got...
[04.03.2026 19:15:16] Heinrike.: You like RPGs?
[04.03.2026 19:15:37] OS&C|Larry's_Lounge: Larry: *chuckles* Oh yeah I've done a few of those, one where I'm a caveman discovering fire, that was...unique
[04.03.2026 19:16:39] OS&C|Larry's_Lounge: Drinking before 10am makes you a pirate not an alcholic, Larry's Lounge now serving
[04.03.2026 19:16:55] Heinrike.: Woah, what was that called? *drops a bunch of cases to the side, pulls up a bunch more.* lets see... let's see...
[04.03.2026 19:17:38] OS&C|Larry's_Lounge: Larry: I truefully don't remember, its probably onboard still, rattling around in the crawl spaces, covered in dust
[04.03.2026 19:18:01] Heinrike.: Pretty sure I've got on- ah, jah here is it. Ever heard of Gaian's Guardians? Roleplay a defender of ecology and all that?
[04.03.2026 19:18:22] Heinrike.: Anyhow, you got the point. How about a bunch of these to fry your brains on for a ride?
[04.03.2026 19:18:37] OS&C|Larry's_Lounge: Larry: *snorts and gestures to the ship* What part of all this screams....ecology preserve
[04.03.2026 19:18:47] OS&C|Larry's_Lounge: Larry: Yeah I can take a few to try out, never know what might perk my interest
[04.03.2026 19:19:30] Heinrike.: It's escapism ain't it? What's further from the truth? *smirks playfully*
[04.03.2026 19:19:58] Heinrike.: Alright. I'll bundle up a few for you. *climbs out off of screen again.*
[04.03.2026 19:20:01] OS&C|Larry's_Lounge: Larry: *laughs again* I might end up pawing that one off on a staff member
[04.03.2026 19:21:08] Heinrike.: Yeah, well if they like it let me know. always wondered what fighting for a cause was like. *she says off screen.* You got the
[04.03.2026 19:21:18] Heinrike.: kit for this by the way? The neural band and what not?
[04.03.2026 19:21:44] OS&C|Larry's_Lounge: Larry: I'm sure there is one /somewhere/ here, otherwise I'll get one from the Zoners next time I'm at one of the Freeports
[04.03.2026 19:22:18] Heinrike.: Sounds good. Right.. I've got a bunch bundled up for you here. So, I get that over to you and... you send over a ticket? or?
[04.03.2026 19:23:08] OS&C|Larry's_Lounge: Larry: Oh yeah so pretty much you'll just let me know the dates and route you want and from there I'll just dump you on a

[04.03.2026 19:23:23] OS&C|Larry's_Lounge: Larry: You'll be able to walk in/on whatever is going that way
[04.03.2026 19:23:28] Death: Benford was put out of action by a hostile vessel.
[04.03.2026 19:23:35] Heinrike.: Dope. You ur... got any pickups on Freeports on your routes?
[04.03.2026 19:24:15] OS&C|Larry's_Lounge: Larry: Yeah, we run a route called the "Pilgrims Path" its for those Eris freaks out in Baffin, we start there, hit all the
[04.03.2026 19:24:38] OS&C|Larry's_Lounge: Larry: Freeports in the Taus, Omegas, the though the Omicrons to 11 in Delta
[04.03.2026 19:24:53] Heinrike.: And... these trinkets will get me a full loop?
[04.03.2026 19:25:18] OS&C|Larry's_Lounge: Larry: There and back, but if you step out early, say on Freeport 1 in O-3, you might not end up back on the same ship for the
[04.03.2026 19:25:21] OS&C|Larry's_Lounge: Larry: Return
[04.03.2026 19:26:22] Heinrike.: which'll probably be a problem, right? At least for me. Alright, well. I've got twnety or so of hypnotainment's finest classics
[04.03.2026 19:26:26] Heinrike.: here. We got a deal Larry?
[04.03.2026 19:26:51] Tip: You were a new player once. If you see someone making obvious mistakes, talk to them and help them.

[04.03.2026 19:28:29] OS&C|Larry's_Lounge: Larry: You know how the...weather....space...weather is
[04.03.2026 19:28:50] Heinrike.: *chuckles* Indeed. Alright, well, let's provisionally book Saturday?
[04.03.2026 19:29:35] OS&C|Larry's_Lounge: Larry: yeah let get you on the roster, like I said you can just walk on and off from any point along the route
[04.03.2026 19:30:02] Heinrike.: Smashing. *slumps back into the seat, sipping from the wine bottle* Can't wait to see what the heck is going on on that boat
[04.03.2026 19:30:03] Heinrike.: of yours.

[04.03.2026 19:32:28] Heinrike.: *laughs* right, here you are. Launching the goods out over to you now, skipper.
[04.03.2026 19:33:02] OS&C|Larry's_Lounge: Larry: *nods* I'll have a steward get things all collected and put away
[04.03.2026 19:34:07] Heinrike.: Oh, how handy *snorts a chuckle, taking another swig from the bottle* You know what... a good party is just what I might need.
[04.03.2026 19:34:09] Heinrike.: Good timing Larry.
[04.03.2026 19:34:11] OS&C|Larry's_Lounge: Larry: I've got you on the passenger listing as Heinrike, do you want a different name on the listing?

Lionel Thistle, First Operations Report,

After my initial orientation, introductions, and uniform outfitting, I was able to tour and meet the initial crew on my new ship OS&C|Golden.Hind. While she will still be undergoing interior refitting for the foreseeable future, I have been working with the logistics folks over in the Orbital Network Express division. Initially to ensure that when the 'Hind does start her regular cruise schedule, everything will already be in place for regular resupply. While checking numbers with an ONE manager in their offices here on Curacao, we noticed that supplies of H-Fuel have been slowly slipping across the OS&C fleet. Nothing too concerning, but with the recent reports hinting at rising tensions along the Galileo corridor, the slow decline of fuel stocks shouldn't be overlooked.

Working closely with my new ONE contacts, I helped arrange an H-fuel restock to full capacity for OS&C liners across the sector. Primarily using the Mastodon transport OS&C|ONE-Marigold, over the last week 20,000 units of H-Fuel have been delivered to each fuel bunker of the flagship orbital liners. Hawaii, Shetland, Barbados, and Maldives are all fully stocked with fuel for the next few months. Additionally another 20,000 units each were delivered to top up fuel depots at Curacao, Baden-Baden and Riviera Resort for local refueling needs. A final 10,000 units were used by the Marigold itself for the non-stop flights this last week. I have attached delivery receipts below, a full accounting can be requested from the ONE office upon request,

Crucially, I was able to use some of my contacts from my time as a civilian transport first mate to arrange a bulk discount for all 150,000 units from Iejima Station in Sigma-13. Their refineries put out some of the cleanest H-Fuel I've seen, with a price the main Gas Miner Guild stations can't match. While they aren't the usual suppliers for OS&C, they had the necessary fuel already in stock (though just barely), essential with an uncertain deadline.

Hopefully the worst fears between Kusari and Liberty aren't realized, but if they are, OS&C won't be involved in the initial panic about Kusari H-Fuel embargos. Other liquids such as Sake will be more difficult to buy in bulk due to their planet-side production in case of conflict. Though it wouldn't be such a problem if Larry didn't keep confiscating the Shetland's vast liquor cabinets.

Safe Sailing,
Captain Lionel Thistle

Hello, Captain Loggins

It's a while since I heard from you. I am surprised that you don't contact me from a bar. I have read your Encounter with the Captain of the Heinrike, and we can, of Course offer her a heavily discounted ticket. I have authorized that and sent the Necessary Codes to your Private Terminal. Keep me informed about the outcomes of this deal.

Safe Skys,

Hello, Captain Thistle

The Situation on the Kusari Liberty Border is indeed a constant worry for the Sub-Directors and me. That you took such initiative really honors you and should enable us to ride out this Storm for a while. In case the Situation further deteriorates, we should hopefully still be able to ship H-Fuel through the Rheinland Border and distribute it to our Liners. But it's never bad to have some extra stock in storage. Especially as we have to consider not only the Liners but also our Logistics and Security Fleets, the least of my Worries is the Maldives and Hawaii right now, as they are either inside of Kurari or really close to Kusari Territory.

But it's a good thing that our other Properties are now filled for the forseeable Future. I also want to congratulate you on the acquisition of the "Golden Hind".
