Distant explorer
12 Sep 2019Rogers of 1984
It's now been 180 days, nearly 6 months, since I've docked at a station. We set off on Distant Worlds 2 expedition over 8 months ago and I decided to explore the outer reaches of the galaxy rather than return to the bubble straight away. The loneliness is starting to get to me now. I haven't seen another commander of any sort since leaving Beagle Point and it feels like I'm following a path no one has ever trodden on. Here in The Void every jump is a newly discovered system. I've clocked up over 4000 first discovereds, my data banks are filling fast, I think it's time to start the return trip, although that will be to Colonia I think. Hull is at 100%, as a hull seal and fuel rat I'm always careful. However, annoyingly my power plant is at 99% after a brush with a star soon after leaving Sag A* when I couldn't be bothered to go back. Still, 99% is a good record for such a long trip, so far about 100,000 ly. I need to cash my data in but being triple elite now there's nothing in the bubble for me that I haven't done so it will be at Colonia. For now I just explore the unknown. I suppose someone might read this and come out to see me, who knows, we'll wait and see.
