I've recently dispatched from Kadesh Orbital Colony to explore possible new locations for the Delphi project. Whilst it seem to be like there's a plenty of desired locations, I believe we're quite limited with parameters that Mr. Burton has mentioned.

My route to the Delta Tokelau Ice Cloud was clear, so I swiftly began to collect all necessary information about ongoing traffic in common exits of the cloud, whilst apparatus onboard of the Lyra were collecting the data. The first location would be 6F Sector, a quite good spot, the direction of the cloud mass here is linear and gravity attraction of Tirane's gas giant would be minimal, though a several joint working manoeuvre drives would be enough to run once a year to keep position static towards the nebula. It presents a perfect spot for both drop off point for the miners and haulers, as it is located on the edge of a nebula. The downside is the installation would be sooner or later spotted by the Nomads or other unwanted attention, thus construction of the base in this spot would put the project at great risk during the scaffolding. The coordinates are available within the report.

But that's not all yet, I made my trip into the cloud itself, thanks to the heavy armoured ship, minimal Nomad patrols in this area did not possess any threat. After several days of observation and scanning the nebula from the inside, I have found the spot that our people would benefit the most. From perspective of area stability the 7H Sector seems fit us quite well, with proper allocation works and deploying the scaffold works it would be no longer necessarily to mount any manoeuvre drives, as the whole nebula objects seem to be moving in a single direction, that would save us of possible disastrous collisional impacts, as asteroids in this area is quite and unusual big for the Omicrons. As for my activity observations in the past days I was a single human in the area, but the following area has minor Nomad activity. But, due to the high density of asteroids in the area, any possible assaults in construction sites and exploitation is unlikely, the spot is quite hidden from any parties, but even being revealed by the Nomads mean nothing - the landscape will be our natural defender from any capital ship intruders.
