However it is not something that I have to deal with this year, so tell you what. You come back in a year with a well run outfit with some viable work history and I might take you on my next trip to Columbia, and I will have a carrier standing by for that trip. The Columbians might be still willing to entertain such notions you want to present. If they still have mining mechs by then."
" From what I heard the civil war was ending, so they should be recovering"
"The war is dying out, not quite the same as ending."
"Very well Sir. All passengers please hold very tight."
And with that forewarning you send out a flight plan and launch, hard. You clear the station, cut thrust, spin the shuttle around and then reengage the hard burn, before repeating the maneuver to decelerate, ending the usage of the engines just before the exhaust would affect the station, and coasting into the dropship docking area your small fleet is located.
The passengers probably felt quite a few G forces but they seemed to be marine augmented so this should be familiar to them. Maybe the people in traffic control uttered some curses.
As you exit the shuttle you can see the admiral and his escorts are not all that worse for wear, the service crew is giving you the appropriate looks for a hotshot pilot and below you can see the spitroast is functioning well enough with some of your soldiers eating with the local population, and no major fight.
Things should be allright.
"Thank you for your consideration Admiral. Have a nice time and enjoy the roasted beef. "
"Thanks for the trip it brought some memories. If you are in a hurry and dead set on having an extra carrier Dropship I'll let you know if something crosses my desk."
"Much appreciated Sir."
The admiral then nodded and proceeded to your totally planed product exhibition.
