Jaunt Five: Points Rimward – Setting Up Base

After a few days off, Ximon again met with Seplak at KSF Operations. Seplak thanked them for their good work and said, “Now, we have a few things for you. First, you’ll pick up cargo and pax at Edorener, go to Zanerus, and help set up an outpost there and get it running. Second, you will head into the Irapce Sector, explore several worlds there, and set up a robotic base there. Third, we lost a KSF survey craft on one of those planets some months ago and we’d like you to recover what you can. Details of each mission have been sent to you for your review. Do you have any questions at this time?”

Ximon, “I only just got it. So, my only questions at this time are – do I need another crewmember, what duration are you expecting, and where can we draw supplies?”

Seplak, “KSF doesn’t feel you absolutely need another crewmember for what should be another quiet mission.” He smirked at that.

He continued, “As far as duration, the mission summaries estimate 2-3 months. With your orders, ou can draw supplies at bay 34T.”

Ximon, “Great. How’s that war going?”

Seplak said, “Well, I’m sure you’ve seen the news. The Republic and Ten Kingdoms are in negotiations, with periodic ceasefires, but it’s not over yet. Maybe when you get back, you’ll be deactivated.”

“Yeah, I’ll believe that when I see it.”
