Everybody’s Working for the Weekend

YC114.04.11

Working vacations are great for two things: poorly completing work, and not getting any relaxation...

Over the past few weeks, I’ve taken a less active role in RECLT to focus on training more skills - chiefly around navigation, ship performance, and weapons management.  Our recent war, and becoming more involved in the sharper end of galactic politics has convinced me I need to be able to protect my own assets, rather than count on the kindness of strangers.

Luckily, this has not completely decimated my ability to produce goods and sell to deserving individuals.  Our allies at GIPA found themselves a fresh grad to take under their wing - Tycho Antus.  Of course, by “take under their wing” I really mean take under my wing - Tycho’s a junior Kat, and I couldn’t be prouder!

He’s been quite the boon for RECLT, a dedicated miner pulling in excellent quantities and selling to us at preferred rates in exchange for a guaranteed market and minimal hauling.  By keeping the tap flowing on ores, I’ve been able to maintain my market presence, branching out into ships and more custom orders.

Speaking of which, I’ve finally completed the huge custom order for Konici!  It looks like I got it done just in time for him - mineral prices have started skyrocketing...  I’m gonna need to look into that further, make sure I’m still charging an appropriate gouge...  

Um, I mean fair and equitable markup allowing profit and goods for all concerned in the transaction.
