Well apparently they had a Gun ship sitting in a spare bay at Rostock. She was brand new. Not sure how it got to Rostock but heck there was even still plastic on the seats. I recruited a crew from the bar, seems they were left here when their last captain went on a bender, took his gunship and decided to attack Crete single handed. That was over a month ago, so they had pretty well dank up all their savings. Hope you do not mind I grabbed a Guard level security sergeant to help keep them in line. Once the knock out drops wear off we should be long gone out of station

Had the dock crews working for the last few days getting her weapons mounted and stocked for long term mission. Hope you do not mind, Sir, but it seems a case of scotch that I noticed was in your office was requisitioned for medicinal purposes. Once she was all loaded up and tested we left. The S/D-Stheno made her maiden flight

We got as far as Sigma-17 before we ran head on into Corsair patrols. Since this is to be a covert op I avoided the patrol and tried to circle around but they were sitting on top of the jump hole into Theta. I also received some reading from probes I left behind after my last trip and they showed a strong Corsair presence in Theta also. So I set down on the pads at Kurile. I currently have the guard sergeant explaining thing to the crew on how things work. They came around about the time we were in Munich system. Thankfully once they get their lessons I can show them the items I requisitioned from the bar. That should calm them down a bit and take the edge off the pain. That sergeant has got very large hands and knuckles.

Anyhow got some covert probes around the jump hole to Theta. Will monitor those and keep an eye out for a window of opportunity to slip through to Freeport 11. Plan on checking out the Unknown jump hole first. Will send reports as I get data.
