I would like to inform you Ms. Jess Doe I have accepted your more generous offer.
After I arrived at Baltimore and met with the the team and got the keys for the ship. After updating the Transponder System to DSE)Standard.Shipping I launched and headed for Planet Pittsburgh. First thing I noticed was compared to the Rhino it seemed to be a bit slow on the turn but nothing unreasonable. Making my way down the trade lane to Pittsburgh I began looking at posted Boron contracts, most of them were for inside Liberty but I figured you wouldn't be giving me the keys to a Prototype like this unless you wanted it to actually get it out of Liberty. So I took the only contract outside of Liberty that being to Planet Blois in Orleanais. My journey went as follows:
Upon launching into space I took the Trade Lane from Pittsburgh to Fort Bush. Once I arrived at Fort Bush, I took a sharp left and headed down the Trade Lane for the Colorado Gate. Once I made it to Colorado I proceeded to take the Trade Lane to Pueblo Station. Once I passed Pueblo i took the Trade Lane to Carrier Ohio. The original plan was to take the safe route through Kepler passing Ames Research Station however Carrier Ohio advised me that the Gates to Kepler have been shut down pending a rapidly approaching dark matter storm. After that I turned right and took the Trade Lane for Planet Denver. Once I got to Planet Denver I took another left turn onto the Trade Lane to the Galileo Gate. Upon entering Galileo I quickly remembered why Galileo was often avoided, total radio silence very creepy. I made my way down the lanes through Galileo as quickly as possible and eventually made it into Shikoku. It was a great relief upon entering Shikoku being able to hear the steady background chatter of travel advisories, police alerts, and all of the other general background chatter you hear on the public waves in populated systems. After taking a moment to take in the beauty of the Keiun Cloud I jumping into the trade lane to Deshima Station. While passing Deshima and Renzu shipyards I stopped for a moment to marvel at a Renzu Liner being constructed. Having a schedule to keep I didn't wait long and made haste into the trade lane to Planet Junyo. After arriving at Planet Junyo I proceeded along to the New Tokyo Gate. I entered New Tokyo and followed the lanes down to Planet New Tokyo. I continued along the lanes to Shinigawa station where I took a hard left and took the Trade Lane to Narita Outpost. I passed Narita quickly and moved on to the Trade Lane to Yokohama Shipyard. After passing Yokohama Shipyard my ship notified me that the fuel tanks were getting low so after entering Hokkaido I stopped at Sapporo Station and topped up on fuel before heading into Gallia.
[PROTOTYPE SHIP INFORMATIONAL UPDATE:] At this point I would like to note that I am very impressed with the fuel efficiency of the new Camara Engines. I normally would have had to stop twice by now for refuels. Continuing on, I headed for the infamous Kyofu Burn. I was pleasantly surprised to see that the ship internal Radiation Exposure counter didn't even trigger while passing through the Kyofu, whether that was a malfunction or testament of the level of radiation shielding on the outer hull of the ship I am not sure. Could be worth inspecting.
After that I entered Tau-53, it has been a while since I took this route into Gallia but I figured it best to avoid the war front in Languedoc if I could. From the Hokkaido Gate I took the Trade Lane to The Gallic/Kusari border. While crossing the border I was given warning by Battleship Sado that while we were not barred from crossing the border freely we should be warned any Gallic Citizens found on our ships would be subject to arrest if they tried to return across the border. With that in mind I proceeded down the Trade Lane to the Lorraine Jump Gate. I jumped into Lorraine and moved along the Trade Lane to Planet Metz. While passing by Saint-Exupery Space Port I remembered why I enjoy wandering through Gallia, their construction methods are striking and quite beautiful. After that I took the lane to Roanne Production Facility which certainly looks worse for wear, seems it got attacked during this war by Kusari Forces. Dodging a small bit of debris I continued on down the lane to the Burgundy Gate. Upon entering Burgundy it was clear I had not left the war front as I had anticipated. While heading down the lane I saw two Kusari fleets moving deeper into Burgundy while concerning, I didn't feel in anyway threatened so I continued on figuring whatever might be about to happen I didn't want to see. Arriving at Planet Nevers it was clear that the Kusari Fleets were not unexpected as there were at least 4 Gallic Battleships and their escorts moving in the Kusari Fleet's general direction. Once again, really not wanting to see what was coming next I made haste to the next Trade Lane to Bourg-en-Bresse Space Port. After I passed Bourg-en-Bresse Space Port I made a hard right and took the Trade Lane to the Ile-de-France Gate. The feeling in Ile-de-France was significantly different, while the tension of war lingered it felt more normal, not unlike New London felt during the late days of the Gallic War. I took the Trade Lane from the Burgundy Gate towards Sarcelles Shipping Facility. From there I took a left heading for Planet New Paris. I continued on the Trade Lane to Rambouillet Shipyard. After arriving at The Shipyard I proceeded to Versailles Station I must admit Interspace couldn't have chosen a nicer station for the Head Quarters in Gallia. After taking a moment to indulge myself in appreciating the architecture of Gallia I continued on to the last leg of my journey, heading for the Orleanais Gate. After entering Orleanais I headed for the Trade Lane to Planet Orleans/ Once there I took a left and headed for Chartres Space Colony. Once I arrived at The Colony I headed down the Trade Lane to Planet Blois and finally docked on the planet completing the contract.
