Here is Turn #2 in its entirety. I didn't edit it at all.
************************
First I would like to thank all the players for getting me their
moves on time, and second I would like to tell you all of how I will post
these moves from now on. There will be 3 sections to these postings, the
first being a note section, in where you all will find any corrections to the
last turn, and anything else that might be of interest. Second will be the
Passengers move, which plainly is for the passengers. And the Third section
will be the Crew move. Now you might have doubts as to why I post both
moves together, and to tell you, it's just easier. Everything I put in these
postings are for general knowledge, and personal moves will go out with these
general moves too. And now for Turn #2! (Audience applauds, and cheers :-)

MISTAKE:
I had put down in the first turn that the worlds (LEWIS & ARAMANX) are
in the RHYLANDOR Sub-Sector, well I must have been asleep, because as the
pilot and navigator, and everyone else pointed out, they are in the ARAMIS
Sub-Sector, sorry :-)

Passengers' Move
****************************************************************************
The Captain thanks you all and then leaves through the iris door,
that leads to the stairs. As soon as the door closes, Robert gets up and
says to Charlie, "Sorry, but I can't play, I'm really tired and I haven't
slept for twenty hours, I really need some sleep."
"That's okay," says Charlie, "I'll play with Dan."
Robert gets up and straightens out his custom made Solomani suit, and
you all notice a bulge underneath his left shoulder, right below the chest, a
perfect location for a shoulder holster. Because of the size of the bulge,
your guess is that it could be anywhere from a snub pistol to a Derringer-type
pistol, or even a cut-up Auto Pistol. Moe and Curly just breifly notice, and
pay no attention otherwise, and they both go back to some serious reading.
Steve notices, but hides his shock as he walks over to the CRT. Robert walks
down the corridor, and you all hear the door open and close.
Steve, sits down at the CRT, and begins to punch up the info on the
Lewis sector. [I will show you all this, since everyone wants to do it, but
I will make refernece to each player spending the time doing so.]
Lewis Subsector Data (Last Update: 1-1109)

Lewis is a penal colony run by both the Imperial Navy and Marine Corps.
Permission to come within 100 planetary orbits is prohibited, unless proper ID
is given to the Planetary Radio Operators. Violation of this is against
Imperial Law (Sect. XI, A.1), and no responability is lain upon the Empire if
damage occurs.
Sden is a small but habitable planet, located within 50 orbits of the Gas Giant,
in the system. Researchers found the beginnings of primate evolution evident in
65-798, and have been returning every ten years to follow up on the progress of
the evolution of the planet. Because of the scientific importance of this
planet, it has been declared off limits to landings, but the Gas Giant is still able to be used as a raw refuelling center. Scientists have found many of the
same characteristics of Terra (Solomani Rim), such as the natural resources,
flora, and fauna, plus the wide range of animals. The last scientific
landing on Sden was in 130-1108, and they found the beginnings of a bronze
working society, though very small, numbering in the 100's, it was the pure
beginning of civilization.
....End of Data on Lewis Subsector
As Steve is busy punching up the data on the CRT, Samantha walks over
to Erc, and says "So you are spending your retirement visiting worlds. I have
just spent the last six months in the Regina and Lanth Subsectors cruising
the Spinward Main. I don't know about this area of space ...."
"I really don't know much about it either, thanks why I'm here."
"Well what I ment to say was that since most of my time in the Service,
I spent it on the Frontier ...."
"Guarding the liquor I gather," mumbles Erc.
Continuing without notice, "and I was wondering where you've been?
What worlds you enjoyed the most, and which you would stay away from."
"All the red ones my dear," chuckles Erc. "But seriously, I have been
through five of the sixteen subsectors already, they've been: Glisten, Lunion,
Mora, Lanth, and Rhylandor. This makes my sixth and there are many worlds
to watch out for, like Sorel for example ...."
Samantha and Erc talk until lunch of the many places they have both
been and many places neither has been, but they would like to go. Steve starts
playing a Hologame version of Rolling Thunder (for those Video Game lovers)
and plays for about an hour after getting off the CRT. Moe and Curly use the
CRT after Steve is done with it, and Charlie and Dan play a total of two games
before the Captain appears and begins lunch service. Robert misses lunch and
afterwards, the Captain speaks privately with both Samantha and Erc. Also,
Erekosse is here, he has eaten lunch with the passengers, and has challenged
Steve to a Hologame of his choosing.
"It is custom on my ship that I invite memeber of the passenger list,
who have either been a pilot, or might have piloted a starship to join me after
dinner for drinks and conversation in the crew lounge. Since both of you fit
into this category nicely, I would be honored if you would both join me," says
the Captain to both Samantha and Erc. "You will also be albe to talk with
Erekosse, since he will be there too."

Crew Move
********************************************************************************
Captain Moray walks down the stairs, passing through another iris door.
He stops briefly to check the door lock, and enters the cargo bay. The ceiling
is three meters high, and the cargo crates are stacked neatly. He pulls a
liquid crystal clipboard from the wall and begins checking the manifest and the
crates. He nods as he comes to each group, and checks them off accordingly.
His final check is the crate of clothing that is from the Arter Apparel Corp.
Hmmn, I wonder if this is who Robert works for, he thinks to himself. It might
just be worth the effort to check up on this company. He has walked to the
other end of the cargo hold and is standing in front of another door. He places
the clipboard on the wall next to a comlink, and signals his Navigator that he
has completed his rounds. He then goes through another iris and goes into the
Engine room to check the purr of his ships' engines.
Erekosse Wildantor finishes up the checks on the navigational computer,
and then leans back in his chair, another cargo to run, and more money to
make, he thinks. This time I think I can't blow it on the gambling, I gotta
save some in case we need it for ship parts. He notices that the CRT in the
passengers' common room is requesting info on the Lewis sector, and he okays it
with the touch of a control. Not that he needs to, but it's always okay to make
sure that the computer doesn't give anymore access than is necessary to the
passengers. He checks his heads-up display and looks into the streaking
whiteness of jumpspace. Well since I have a week, might as well do something
useful, he thinks, and with some quick touches of the console, he punches up a
hologame of Star Wars. He grabs the controls to his ship, that are hooked up to
the display and blasts off to another galaxy until lunchtime.

Well, here is the end of turn #2, I hope I've covered it all. I will
be away until Jan. 14th, so I would like everyone to have there moves to me
no later than Jan. 20th. Thanks a lot and have a great vacation.
Oh, I will mail each of you an additional private turn, if have need of one.
