My humble apologies to all OSI members and bosses /especially the latter, he he/ for my prolonged and unanounced absence.
The reason for it is quite simple. Back a few months ago I was on an IMG supply run to Holman. My docking at the outpost coincided with an effort in the refugies relocating program. In the total chaos of me unloading cargo and a lot of people trying to leave the system, I managed to place my head in the way of a loading crane arrow.
Being wiser than the said piece of equipment, the head gave way. As a result, I was sent as a John Doe to the outpost's infirmary, where I spent the next month trying really hard to find out the limits of IMG's medical personel's competence. They proved quite capable indeed, as my surviving undoubtedly proves.
The next couple of months I spent in and out of consiousness/ I am an old man, you know/.
By the time I was able to leave the hospital, the Long Con was carrying quite a debt in docking and maintenance fees - another mess to sort through.

And finaly, here I am, /almost/ healthy and ready to resume my duties again. Expect new delivery reports from Zeb Vale and the Long_Con in the very near future.

Glad to be back with you, people.
