Gran Vista Orbital - 'rescuing' a space station

[Doria]

Omega 49 System - Nichols Trade Center, in orbit of Gran Canaria
August, 822 A.S.

Looking from his office at Nichols, Starr could see a small service freighter finishing its docking sequence at Gran Vista Orbital space station, gradually disapearing inside one of the side bays.

From this distance little detail could be seen, but one was able to notice how there were no more "holes" in the station's hull, the navigation lights were now active... Looked like stage one of repairs on the station was almost complete. Starr decided to send a message to Hernandez, asking how things were going.

A couple minutes later, the reply arrived. "Stage One - Docking Bays and Security virtually complete. The list of materials needed for Stage Two follow." The list was bigger this time, but nothing OSI was not accustomed to handle.

Stage 2: Station Administration Infrastructure and Defense Systems
List:
- Bio-Neural Processors (10K);
- Optronics (10K);
- Polymers (3K);
- Quantum Multiplexors (2K);
- Robotics (15K);
- Ship Hull Panels (10K);
- Superconductors (2K);
- Xenobiotic Filters (4K);

It was time to move this thing forward, already. Starr's future plans for the company were tied with Gran Vista's retrofit. Several long months were still ahead, so more important to keep going. After finishing with the last few reports, he would send a message to the company pilots requesting the materials to be delivered. The bonuses helped motivate the pilots, and deliveries for stage one were made in record time, so Starr was expecting to see some whales soon from his office window.
