IMN Headline: Survivor of Kytreon Massacre Retires; Opens Unique New Business

After surviving the harrowing attacks on the Novalysian colony planet of Kytreon, former freighter pilot and transit operator Robert "Rhino" Howe has taken the opportunity to pursue a new path in life.

"I always had this idea in the back of my mind," Howe explains. "It was sort of a joke between my co-workers: 'if I ever win the lottery, I'm gonna make this happen.' Well, here it is."

After receiving an out-of-court settlement for injuries sustained during the militant attack, Howe has retired from a 37-year long career as an independent operator. He spoke fondly of his lifelong career, but said he always had ambitions to do something no one else has ever done before: run a free-standing transit hub, or a sort of "space truck-stop" for interplanetary and cross-sector pilots and their crews.

"No one's ever done it before, but I think we can make it work," a determined Howe stated as he showed us early photographs of the construction being done on the new compound, endearingly called 'Rhino's". It will feature a restaraunt and bar, high-capacity freighter docking bay, motel and lodging, refueling services, and amenities for travelers. It will be located in free space, outside of Deysha-II's Canaan Sector.

O.M.N.E kept a very close watch on this news as it developed, very interested in this entrepreneur Robert Howe. His idea and business could prove to be very profitable, and if it did, they would be in contact with him quickly.

A few months passed and construction went as planned. Rhino's would be opening for business within a matter of days, and the hype was bustling. Freighter drivers, shipping chains, military patrol pilots, intercolonial businessmen, travelers, and anyone who spent much time going from colony to colony was hearing stellar reviews of what Rhino's would offer them. A few satellite locations were already planned to dot the outskirts of the trade routes, but the original Rhino's was centered expertly along an intersection forming the busiest lanes of travel. It was accessible from any colony and offered enough space to dock any craft from a tiny personnel shuttle to a fleet of massive freighters.

DataNet ads announcing the Grand Opening of Rhino's were everywhere. A huge first-come, first-serve party would mark the historic moment, and hundreds of people were already beginning to make room reservations in the Rhino's Motel. The place was opening with a bang, and was sure to be popular. Anyone with an interest in such things would be able to get a first-hand account of Robert Howe's innovative new project.

O.M.N.E was officially interested, if they could get their hands on this place and it's satellite locations, even just partially, they would make some serious bank off of this enterprise. So they would contact Robert Howe, to hopefully arrange a meeting.

((if you want to go into a separate thread for this or not, your choice lol))

((yeah let's open up a new one, homeslurm))
