Astin's shakedown trip with xyr new trade ship. I suspect a run over to Trunnion; it's been a while since xe's seen Spalling.
The ship is undoubtedly well stocked with spare parts and tools, but putting something together with what one has when something inevitably breaks is a tradition in this context. And then there will be the hassles of forming a crew out of NT and NV people who are still getting to know each other.
Also, row one of your "Five Moments of Intimacy" bingo card looks like a good fit for Calliope and Vagary. After all, aren't they doing some of this already? Maybe Cal is part of the unconventional solution.
