Shiny new gear

I arrived safely at the EM Lab in Waihopi, and had some defractors installed. I also picked up some neutronium armor (conventional) at the nearby planet, and now I'm ten million credits poorer than I was last week. However, I should not have to make any adjustments to my ship for many months.

In other news, it appears Stryker (my first mentor), having been elevated to Count rank, may purchase the PASC I had Icy build for me. It is freshly completed, waiting for a buyer at Stepping Stone. Managing a starbase from the cockpit of a fighter ship being nearly impossible, I will sell it to Stryker if he wants it, and remain in the Constrictor.

Gkarr, another friend and TIRO member, has expressed a desire for a Constrictor, the manufacture of which I will begin as soon as I take command of Stepping Stone. It looks as if the shipyards at Stepping Stone will be getting a workout in the coming weeks.
