She smiles.<br/><br/>"Well..if you accept this mission.. you'd be a sub-contractor of the CDC.  They'd make any arrangements you need to get you to Minotaur - travel.. accomodations.  They may even put you up at one of the resorts if you arrive early enough."<br/><br/>She activates the computer on the table. "The mission is a survey mission outside the Frontier.  The UPF has recently opened up the contract to some new exploration, and CDC, in association with the PGC and Streel have been awarded the contract.<br/><br/>The picture changes to a ship.. it's wedge shaped with a curcular behind.. the broad wings widening to hold engines. "The main ship is actually a gesault.. consisting of a survey ship"<br/><br/>An additional module appears..attached to the rear circular section..it's also cylidrical.. with 4 landing legs. "A landing module which is left behind..."<br/><br/>And then the scale reduces, and you see a large delicate cylindrical frieghtor, designed for the small ship to mount the tip. "And a freighter module for carrying spare landers and supplies.   Everything is self contained and regular freighter runs will keep you in supply for the year long mission."
