[QUOTE="Wilphe, post: 2917272, member: 8221"] Tuan: Jake Carling gives you an arch look and smiles, "Offering a sealed deck without being asked suggests a guilty conscience or an expectation of distrust. I'm in, I won off you before so I'll beat even more on a clean deck," he sits. Malico Shahisgara stands and comes over, "Worried you might blow all your pay for this trip before you get the chance to spend it eh? I'll join you, might be my only chance of making a profit on this lousy trip" Saanath: Not much more becomes apparent. There's the aforementioned convoys of fuel tenders aking their way to and from the gas giants under System Defence Boat escort and there's about half a dozen starships of various types heading too or from jump, including two large bulk carriers of 20-25,000 tons that are probably packing grain or other bulk produce. The [i]Coronel[/i] looks like it is going to general quarters, or at least beginning a minor drill. A couple of fighters have launched on a course towards the moon, in the wake of the detached escort. Also, there's a small asteroid near where you exited from jump, nothing especially remarkable about that, but you do note that there is a small craft attached to it. Looks like about 100tons or so, mass readings do not suggest that the asteroid is likely to be worth mining, and it's in a stable, fairly close orbit, so you'd have expected it to be mined out long ago if it was worth exploiting.
