Natio Octavarium Internal Affairs

Jones reporting from ADSV Spokane.

Ultimately the Nonsuch's outdated maneuvering thrusters weren't suited to our new arrangement. Conveniently, I found a Junker that was fascinated by old, outdated ships, so we made a deal - his Serenity-class for our archaic retrofit.

I have to be honest, I'm not even entirely sure where old man Whittington picked the thing up, and I clearly can't ask him anymore.

I went a bit further afield than the original plan, in order to properly chart a navigational course through the asteroids of the Barrier and Taus. I've included the charts with this message; our fighters and freighters won't need the help, but we do have some heaveir craft. They should have us set as far as Tau-23; hopefully the Crayterians have managed to sort out a path further in.

Recruiting for Crow Team is going well - ask Escher about that one - and we'll be able to begin operations as soon as our freighters are properly inspected and tuned up.

Message ends.
