Conrad had been out to pick up a hefty team of scientists from nearby sectors. It was odd really, but Conrad wasn’t about to gripe considering the wages they were paying him. With the second dome in process of being built still, he was not surprised by the sudden influx of all sorts of people. There was certainly a need. He only worried when the dome was all said and done. But maybe they would pay another hefty sum to get them back to where they came from.

It didn’t matter to him, as long as they kept their noses out of his stuff. He had the appropriate licenses as well. All was clear legally on his end and he made sure of that. Having a run in like his first encounter with the good ole Lt. Governor was not something he was fond of. Being questioned and detained for what he felt was hardly anything to be super sensitive about.

Nevertheless, he had no desire to be on the wrong end again. Everything had checked out long before he departed Oed to pick up the various scientist and engineers.

“Katrina, notify the Oed Orbital Platform we are en route with passengers. They’ll need to be ready.” he said to his ship’s AI.

Katrina sent the message and awaited their reply.
