Arcadia Station

"This is the mining vessel USS Neutron of the Earth. We're just passing through on our way to the Cleopatra mining belt. Request docking clearence." 

Arcadia replies: "Welcome to the Cleopatra System USS Neutron. docking clearence accepted. Please proceed to dock 5."

I can't wait to get onto the station and have a few beer's with my crew mates. We have traveled way to far for not trying out the famous Arcadia beer. Me, Luke, Jake and Jaq got our speedo like mining suits on us, we boarded the elevator, and got taken up to the top floor. The first thing i spotted was this beautiful girl. i went up to her asking if she wanted to grab a beer with us, she slapped me and walked away.. Jaq laughed too hard, she couldn't stand upright, and had to lean into the wall. Jake and Luke was already in the bar when i met this girl.. Jaq said she would purchase the first round (She always purchased the first round).  We started to talk about what our task was going to be when we got to the mining belt. as we went out as 4 man groups to different asteroids with light cargo vessels. Jaq was going to be the pilot, and me, Luke was going to mine. Jake was going take care of the belt going from the asteroid(s) to the ship, and made sure nothing got stuck between the rails. After a while of drinking we we're ordered back to the ship as we we're about to leave, and head for the belt.

We warped to the mining belt, and got ready down in the cargo bay. Jaq was already in the cockpit starting up the engines, and making sure everything was working as it should. Jake, Luke and me got our mining suits on, including back and front protection from any of the rocks that might fly out of the belt or the mining drill. We boarded the ship and head out to the selected asteroid. the tablet on my arm said we needed Uranium and Xentax. It took a while before we managed to find any of the ore's in the asteroid, as it was deep inside it.  We got what we needed, and went back to the Neutron.
