Supplies for Scientific Advancements

I had originally intended to pick up supplies for the mining operations back on planet Eckhan.  It was originally going to be s smooth trip with Rex, until we were held up by security in the docking bay before we could get the supplies… Then through a series of unfortunate events, I was unable to purchase the materials I needed, along with finding out my dog Rex, is actually a shape shifter.  That was more than a bit of a shock.  In addition, I am on a space ship that I had not originally planned to take back home—not sure where this ship is headed I kind of forgot to much was happening at that moment.  Well, I can’t dwell on this insanity too long since my scientific endeavors always need constant research and development. I don’t know if ship chores will give me ample opportunity to work on my scientific formulas and ideas—but I will have to figure out some way to finish my latest ideas and calculations... If I nitrated the compound I could possibly achieve a- Yes, that just might work...
