KHI Deploys Modular Repair Yard

After a series of delays acquiring transport, Kawanishi Heavy Industries Ltd. has finally deployed the Modular Repair Facility approved by the Town Council months ago.   The deployment was made possible by long time Hale's Moon resident General Parkin when his Heavy Lift spacecraft unexpectedly became available .

With transportation in place, Company field engineers and local technicians were able to assemble the modular components on station in a mid/high orbit over the colony.  In addition to providing additional repair facilities, with their associated jobs, the station will give the colony additional communications relays and improved NavTrak capability.

It will be some time still before the platform becomes fully operational, but all life support, power, and communications functions are in place and operational already.  The platform is expected to facilitate its first orbital transshpment within the week.

Local resident Sabrina McGee-Kawanishi has been selected as the station's Director of Engineering and Operations Manager.  According to the agreement negotiated between KHI and the Colony, the majority of the workforce will be drawn from colony residents, and most operational profits will be funneled back into Hale's Moon's infrastructure.

When asked about a possible conflict of interest, the Mayor replied "I've always tried to do what's best for the colony.  Part of the agreement with KHI was that I'd have no personal financial interest in the platform.  My wife may be running the place, but we're going to keep the records open.  She'll draw a salary, just like everyone else, and it'll be right in line with Industry standards.  This is your platform, people.  Not mine."

Plans are under way to have a Grand Opening shindig at Fook Yoo's sometime in the near future.

Hale's Moon Trolley Service

Hale's Moon Trolley Service

Hale's Moon Trolley Service announces opening of GREEN LINE branch. You can board at the Trolley sign located outside Fooks, across from the gun store. It runs one way only and terminates at Firefly's Bar, across from the Boarding House. The service is free. Just jump on when the Trolley shows up, and it will take you down to Firefly's. Jump off FAST when you get there - the Trolley does not stop for long.

"We called it the Green Line because it goes from Fooks here, to a safer place, you know. Like, green for go to safety. Not that any place is all that safe. But it's safer to go to Firefly's than to come over here. Course, you got the Wastes and West Town on the other side, but so far nothing has come in to cause any trouble."

The Rail and Trolley service is a joint project of BlueSun and Dharma. "Eventually we're hoping to get people out there to the Settlements safely, and faster. Right now, it’s just too dangerous to attempt crossing the Wastes."

Concerns that the Rail system construction is stirring up things best left unstirred out in the Wastes continue to be voiced. "We know there are some concerns that the snakes and things that have been seen in town are a result of the rail project, and it’s possible that some lifeforms may need to be relocated or subdued. This is a necessary fact of any expansion. We don't anticipate any major problems."
