Howdy! I've arrived at Gran Can, safe and sound with the survey team.

I went ahead and took the advice to soup up the dust control system on-board in advance of hitting Deidus. Still, I didn't want to risk a screwup with those people onboard (even if they were kind of snarky with me about my detours), so I dropped some extra cash on a temporary install of a whoooole bunch of plasfoam conduits to keep vital systems protected during the flyover.

I wasn't sure how they'd rate against the planet's particle storms, but they held up quite well at my altitude, despite the safety alerts ringing in my ears. A big "thank you" to the manufacturer for letting me see the world's grim, destructive beauty up close. While I'm here on Canaria, I decided to have 'em rolled in as a component of a larger armor and thruster overhaul, since I'm... let's say, reasonably assuming there's places scarier than Deidus I might end up in some day.

Speaking of those detours, two things of note. First, I had the pleasure of meeting a Sean Goodman, captaining the SLRC ship Dawnstar. Said he ran Freeport 9 back in the day - didn't know we had former Freeport administrators on payroll! I went off-mission a while to give him some company towards the exterior Omicrons, and was blown away by the scale of the Zoner constructions out there! Definitely looking to visit Pygar for a while once I'm ready to tackle the Edge. If you're reading this Sean - stay awesome!

The other point of note was an abandoned depot I ran across on the return trip. No affiliation data or records on construction, which to me says "pirate base", but nobody's home from the looks of it. We'll gab about it when I get back to T-23. Just about ready to RTB, so you'll see me soon.
