[WEEK 1 SUMMARY] POOR MINER INCENTIVES ACROSS TWO SEPARATE LOCATIONS, MORE INFO NEEDED ON THIRD
Boss, the job was easier than I expected. Me and the Wayfarer basically waltzed right in, requesting a top-up. While our tanks were getting filled, I got to chatting with the dockmasters. Both Freeport 26 and Impala are offering a measly 30 credits per unit of ore. It's no wonder their warehouses are empty - I offered to find buyers for the refined product, but they said not to bother.

Freeport 12 is now a relic. I recall some comms about its decommission, so I guess that's a done deal.

There is one more station which may be a competitor however. The folks at Ionic Labs seemed to see through my ruse, and told me to go pound sand. It may have had something to do with the DSE transponder - I wonder if I'd get a warmer welcome if I came back in an unmarked hull. We could always vet a freelancer and send 'em off to snoop around too - your call.

I'm returning to Cortez to keep an eye on the ops. I heard that Pine-1 did good during the last call-out - should encourage some of my own slackers.

Geller out.

First, farthest, fearless.
