Two days into Jump, Dr. Korvusar gives the crew something to worry about.

The first day in Jumpspace turns out to be quiet. Or possibly just the calm before the storm.

The Grayswandir leaves Venad and enters Jumpspace for Fugitak.

With everything ready, Derek has a final meeting with the crew before lift.

Derek checks on the status of the Grayswandir and finds that the maintenance is almost complete. Jami is already there, checking out the engines, as is half the cargo. It's time to get ready to leave.

Derek and Halley say goodbye.

Derek spends a last day with Halley before they head their separate ways

With the ship almost ready, Derek posts for passengers to Fugitak and finds some cargo to trade. And has another night on the town with Halley.

With the ship's crew complete, Derek takes a day to relax, and to make a new friend.

Derek finds an Engineer; a disgraced crew member from another Free Trader caught smuggling. Now the real work begins.
