You read the flimsy you picked up in the office concerning Collien's new company as the shuttle unlinks with the station.
![]() Looming in the darkness of space is the Star's Child. What used to be some sort of pleasure jump ship is now being reconditioned as a science and research vessel. Sensor arrays dot her hull, as do a few small tractor beams. She is 300 meters long, 50 wide, and 20 deep. Around her aft section circles a thin torus. Sensors indicate it is the ship's jump engine. It appears as if this ship once had jump sails, but those have been removed for some reason. She has a Cygnian sunburst pattern on her underside. She has been retrofitted with a new docking bay, one capable of accepting both a few small shuttles and a single dropship. Much of the ship has been changed from its original design, apparently, though it still has a large transparent dome as part of its top. If you peer down into the ship's promenade deck, you can see a sort of zoo inside, and a few science consoles. Oh, look, you just spotted a Terran fox. You glance back down at the flimsy...

Come, let us return and visit further with Collien. |

Are you out of time already? A pity... very well, we shall head back to the ITG docking bays. Or would you prefer to return to the ITG lobby now? |

You have questions? Quite all right... you may either write to Collien, or pmail her on the Muck. |
