Hello there, friends. A few things happened today...

FIrst, after talking with Mr. Kelly on the subject, I finally decided to upgrade to a Zoner Whale. As much as I love the Firefly, the 5K cargo hold is tempting... A few months ago I had applied for a 'buying option' on a ZBT-100Z-2 transport being built at Livadia. So I decided to get all the credits I had made this past few months and consolidate that option.

So, last night I sent a message to the Livadia Sales Office telling them my decision. They replied the Whale would be ready in 48 hours. Good enough. So I took the wings off my Osprey and fitted it inside the Firefly's cargo hold - that ramp door is really useful! First thing in the morning today I sailed to Cambridge, where I have bought the ship, which was partially financed by the Cambridge Bank.

I sold the ship back to the bank, and altough a bad bussiness (got only 19 million out of 40 of the original price) it was instant money. Then I made an electronic transfer of the first payment to Livadia Shipyards and went back to the repair shop. By noon the Osprey had his wings back in place and was ready to fly. So I went back to Gran Canaria, were I would wait until the Whale was ready.

When I arrived at the OSI HQ I met Mr. Kelly who was going to do a few supply runs and was looking for an escort...
So I tagged along with him for a while, in a few uneventfull runs. Until we met a Corsair gunboat just outside the Leeds gate in New London. After the negotiation attempt went south I engaged the Corsair while Kelly escaped with his Whale... Then I runned away also... But the guy wouldn't give up! He chased us down the tradelanes but Mr. Kelly is very able in the command of his transport and soon he was left behind by us...

So we made a few more deliveries, including a couple food loads to Crete, and then Mr. Kelly called it a day. He stayed at FP 9 while I went to Livadia to see how my ship's prep was going. It will be ready tomorow morning.
It will be nice to be flying this brand new Zoner Whale.

That's about it, folks. Too bad my guncam was not in 'auto' mode, so I don't have pics to show you. Lets hope Mr. Kelly posts some images here for our amusement...
