Greetings and salutations, esteemed colleagues!
I had intended for this report to be released not long after the first, but present circumstances and an irritatingly persistent low energy ion storm have made transmissions more difficult than anticipated - you will excuse the lack of video feeds for this one.
At any rate, the present circumstances. The report concerns Mississauga Station, deep in the Ontario system.
Situated in close proximity of a planetoid and a number of derelicts, chief among which the former DSE station 'Toronto', it was in a dreadful state of disrepair when the Zen Star arrived; indeed, at first brush I feared it had been subjected to some attack from the system's rowdier elements.
This was not the case, as the captain of the BCV Oranjestad helpfully explained while our crews set about fixing the extensive damage: rather, it appears to have been the product of a lack of supplies, a series of minor accidents (nothing out of the ordinary, I may add, but protracted over time) and negligible activity within its facilities.
Given the nature of said facilities, I assume it was once intended for this station to become a MOX refinery; at the moment, however, the production lines are dishearteningly silent and the crews understandably rowdy. At least the hull is being worked on, but it will need several more shipments of repair materials to fully restore the base's structural integrity. This is being arranged.
In more positive news, Arcetri Station continues to prove quite the bustling hub of activity!
I am informed by my associates of a steady stream of clients and miners, some of them recent hires (one Mira Hann has been noted as being particularly eager), and constant activity both at the docking bays and the refineries - so much so these are almost struggling to handle the influx of ore. If there's a good problem to have, it's this one.
