  Sissy Medina has been commander of the system for five years and yesterday her brother, Albert arrived and will be taking command.

  Our government council has requested permission to move on to another star system. The system commander approved it if we would leave one torch warship and 90% of the weapons and observation platforms. We also have over a thousand citizens that want to stay. Only a few hundred of the others want to join our habitat as citizens.

  The council has approved all transfers and our departure date is next month. Navigation council has informed everyone that we will be headed down the spiral arm toward the end. First star to visit is 115 light years out.

  Guess we're back to being gypsies!
