Lionel Thistle, First Operations Report,

After my initial orientation, introductions, and uniform outfitting, I was able to tour and meet the initial crew on my new ship OS&C|Golden.Hind. While she will still be undergoing interior refitting for the foreseeable future, I have been working with the logistics folks over in the Orbital Network Express division. Initially to ensure that when the 'Hind does start her regular cruise schedule, everything will already be in place for regular resupply. While checking numbers with an ONE manager in their offices here on Curacao, we noticed that supplies of H-Fuel have been slowly slipping across the OS&C fleet. Nothing too concerning, but with the recent reports hinting at rising tensions along the Galileo corridor, the slow decline of fuel stocks shouldn't be overlooked.

Working closely with my new ONE contacts, I helped arrange an H-fuel restock to full capacity for OS&C liners across the sector. Primarily using the Mastodon transport OS&C|ONE-Marigold, over the last week 20,000 units of H-Fuel have been delivered to each fuel bunker of the flagship orbital liners. Hawaii, Shetland, Barbados, and Maldives are all fully stocked with fuel for the next few months. Additionally another 20,000 units each were delivered to top up fuel depots at Curacao, Baden-Baden and Riviera Resort for local refueling needs. A final 10,000 units were used by the Marigold itself for the non-stop flights this last week. I have attached delivery receipts below, a full accounting can be requested from the ONE office upon request,

Crucially, I was able to use some of my contacts from my time as a civilian transport first mate to arrange a bulk discount for all 150,000 units from Iejima Station in Sigma-13. Their refineries put out some of the cleanest H-Fuel I've seen, with a price the main Gas Miner Guild stations can't match. While they aren't the usual suppliers for OS&C, they had the necessary fuel already in stock (though just barely), essential with an uncertain deadline.

Hopefully the worst fears between Kusari and Liberty aren't realized, but if they are, OS&C won't be involved in the initial panic about Kusari H-Fuel embargos. Other liquids such as Sake will be more difficult to buy in bulk due to their planet-side production in case of conflict. Though it wouldn't be such a problem if Larry didn't keep confiscating the Shetland's vast liquor cabinets.

Safe Sailing,
Captain Lionel Thistle
