The Launch

2 years, a medically induced vacation, a prison sentence and a promotion to Deputy Arbiter later She was finally finished. Bremerhaven launched from Aland Shipyards docks and Rick looked across the bridge into space, over the ship's intercom he could hear the communications tower; "Deputy Arbiter Rick, you are cleared for departure; good luck out there".

He had to contain his excitement however, the ship wasn't finished yet. He had to take it to ALG, see if they could repair the missing link to the last set of pods, if not maybe they could tell him where to get them. so he walked over to the chair in the center of the bridge and he said:

"Computer, set course for Dortmund Smelter."
"Yes sir, setting course for Dortmund Smelter, New Berlin System. estimated travel time 3 hours. Recommended way to pass time, sleep or movie"
"Just put on some music and I'll probably be asleep in a bit."
"Yes sir."

Rick leaned back in the small room in the back of the cabin part of the ship, nothing big but comfy as his song started playing he leaned back tapping his foot against the wall to the rhythm. He thought about the way his life was going, seemed like things were turning around finally. He drifted off to sleep as the ship entered the Omega 7 Jumpgate
