Oi, Wai! Just wanted to let you know that we'll be on war footing for a while, so take care if you need to hop into a ship to bowl around the diary or something. You'll probably squiz a ping from the uppers about who/why/ etc, but no worries, should be done by the time you finish your tramping holiday.

The big null bloc boys have been hammering away at each other, lots of subcaps and Upwell structures going to whatever heaven awaits those kinds of things when they get carked. Add the backbiting between the Empire factions, and the galaxy is pretty cracker for conflict right now. Still, the choice action's quite a ways from us, but we're making our own local troubles to compensate.

Been working with Jean-Pierre on P3 production, to get some things moving along a mite faster. He's got a lower-tax production plant a couple warps away, and while it is a wee more risky (he did get carked there once already), we figure that an extra P3 factory can help speed up the P4 production. If we can keep the production going without serious war interference, there should be a nice pile of the power cores, guidance systems and robotics at the end of the month.

Looks like reactions biz might come up as well, might want to talk to your uncle about some of that.

Cheers,

Tasman
