	It’s been seven days since we burned atmo off Osiris. Thanks to the pulse and hard burn combination, we arrive a day earlier than we’d originally expected. As instructed, Nika sends out a coded message once we land to call in our rendezvous ship. They’ll take the contraband cargo off our hands and we’ll fly on to Jiangyin and drop off the miners. Our call is answered by a New Kalmar flagged ship, the Eir, a Mjolnir class vessel out of Hjiminborg. They land beside us and they start loading up our cargo. The captain of Eir invites us aboard for dinner. Nika replies we’d be honored. We arrive at the appropriate time, are seated with the captain and dinner progresses.

	The deal was to receive 600 credits in pay for delivering the cargo. ~~Eir’s~~ captain tells us they don’t have it. Would we consider taking up the lack in trade? They have food and fuel they can spare and God knows, they’ve got all the medical supplies we could possibly need. We accept the balance of our fee in food supplies and repairs—Rina gets that atmo leak in our flight deck fixed with their help and supplies. We linger for a day and a half getting our ship back to rights then thank the crew of Eir and burn atmo for Greenleaf. We still have 4 miners to deliver to Dyton, off Jiangyin.<br><br>		The deal was to receive 600 credits in pay for delivering the cargo. ''Eir''’s captain tells us they don’t have it.

	Paying off the bribes at Osiris cost us and our payday at New Melbourne wasn’t as big as we’d anticipated. We need to make up the lack. We drop off the four miners on Dyton and get a line on a job, that of hauling argon to Rambha, one of Heaven’s moons. It takes us a little while to get everything fully loaded and the argon is brought aboard in tanks. With cargo already in hand, we can take a break in earning a living long enough to investigate one of the names on Joshua’s Jing Jing Bei list: June, at Alkali Flats on Jiangyin. We take off late on the 9th. Jiangyin is a ten hour flight from Dyton and it goes off uneventfully.<br><br>		Paying off the bribes at Osiris cost us and our payday at New Melbourne wasn’t as big as we’d anticipated.

	Alkali Flats is a dusty little town, of about 300 people or so, tenaciously clinging to life. It’s got some sign of industry, likely light mining, and it has a trading post. Our arrival creates a little stir. Ships, much less shuttles, aren’t frequent here.
