Journey to Omega Nebula- Log 5: Going Further?
29 Apr 2018Ingrid Elfridr
It is very interesting how a celestial body, mainly nebulae, drastically change shape depending upon your orientation to it. The Omega Nebula looked cool when I was looking at it from Maia, but since then my angle of approach has changed enough to get some spectacular views along the way. I think, however, that I will save the photography of the nebula itself until I am within its depths. Honestly I have just gone around looking for new things to discover, and as much as the nebulae are traversed I have mostly avoided them. This is going to be a different experience for me.It has honestly been almost two months since I have flown alongside anybody in my own wing, but the Federation has been stingy with the bounty voucher rewards, and Breez and Aaron are not the explorer type. However, Breez did contact me a few hours ago expressing interest in Colonia space. I have been curious myself, but I have done so much business in Rhea and Diaguandri that I do feel a little iffy about just picking up and leaving for a port over 20,000 LY away. Plus I was hoping to play more craps with those kids I met in Titan City. Aside from this, she has asked me to go out there and check out the markets, plus to gather more data because she wants to fly out there in her Viper. Tried telling her that my data gathering has little to do with her being able to plot a route and that it was folly to try making a trip in a fighter, but she is adamant. I guess I will go ahead and set a course for Rattrai after I finish my photography trip.
All apprehension aside this is still a great opportunity. The probability of finding pages upon pages of undiscovered goodies is certain, plus who knows what will be out there to photograph. I'm just hoping that Breez reconsiders her choice in what to fly out there; had help her refuel more than once.
