Salem's Lot

Airlocks open at noon. Get yourself a sturdy ship for the long haul. There will be g-wells, but nothing you can't handle. As always, BE PREPARED.

WARNING EARLY LAUNCH 1300

Objectives

  • Take as much wormhole as we can of the twenty-light year hop to the Salem System.
  • Visit the Peabody Essex Museum (our gracious host a while back) before they close at 1700. I may have some free tickets for anyone who wants in.
  • Sample the local cuisine: order takeout and eat in the Salem Common.
  • Meet up with the local rogue chopper pilots.
  • Distribute Mucho Schwag and scatter many barnacles.
  • Cruise Willow Park in uber-smooth mode.
  • Get as close as we can to the Friendship of Salem, and get a photo!
  • Quick refueling stop on the way back to base.
