I um.. Just got my flight status back today so I thought I'd best find some work to pay for my medical bills. Early on I got two independent Tau mining contracts with [IND]Zombie.Bank and Mr. Sundance of the [SIN]Plato[H]. I'm logging them now as per the requirements for completion of my application for the Mining division. I'm still more than happy to work with the R+D and exploration department during quiet hours as needed, of course. A girl needs a hobby. >>Transaction 1 >>Transaction 2
Almost immediately after the last one, I heard a warning about a big... destroyer thingy. I kinda... disobeyed the nurse's orders and um... foolishly got into my Valient.Ash Nandy Devi and um... I'm not sure how, but I managed to hit something with my C.A.C.. IMG|Novakill, IMG|Linebacker, IMG|Munkee, IMG|Siotra.Allets, along with CR| [49th] pilots of Clown, Horizon, and Eagle probably did all the work.. I'm pretty useless. I'm sure they'll link in trideo recordings of what it actually was before the reactor blew, and let me know if any pilots lost their ships before I undocked the Ash. >>First Blue. Ever. (with my name coming second)
Anyway, Mr. Data offered me a great deal on some second hand COW 6 plating stripped off his ship during an overhaul, but his ship was down at Aland so um... A few of us got together and decided to move down some Niobium and travel in safety. For the logs IMG|Never.Early, myself, IMG|Gyrlas were transporting, with IMG|Knatt as the pathfinder. [UC]UCN-Vendeur.2 and CR|-CM-Party.Smasher took the oppertunity to join the convoy since they were heading the same way. Due to some house rules about certain ships designs in various owned spaces, we obviously took a rather circuitous route. Appended is us at the start heading off and formed up upon delivery of the ores. >>Start. >>Midpoint of circuit.
Once we made it to O-7 we were joined by Bobbie.... ah sorry, Mr. Kuljem. and he helped mine silver and joined us for the return trip. Also we lucked out on another independant mining contract for a local called Brentley. Bobbie and I split the work between us. >>Brentley : neutral ID
IMG|Turney took over the S1 role for the return trip. I took over T-last. I didn't get stuck in a lane once! One of us did have a navigation error from a localized Ion storm which had me worried, but he followed through the wormhole a few minutes later so we didnt loose anyone. Problems were efficiently communicated, and we didnt get spread out too far. After dropping off the silver at the um... storage silo yes, thats... um... anyway we returned a few more systems over to the Taus, and one of our guest transports split off for Gallic space.
Silver yield in O-7... felt slow, but not terrible. about 1-11 tons in an Annapurna. Niobium yield in T-23 was high, north eastern deposit.
