Ingrid Elfridr's Log: Entry... eleven?? Hell I don't keep these things numbered so I am just going off of memory here. *LIGHTER IGNITING* Is this thing even recording? *KEYS CLICKING* I swear I am starting to get too old to figure this new shit out. *EXHALATION* Breez sent me a link for this transcribing software after I made the mistake of telling her about almost crash landing a week ago. She says that I'm too preoccupied with constantly updating the exploration logs and getting shots with the orbital cam. *INDISTINGUISHABLE NOISE*
Told her it just comes with the work, all that matters is being able to kill the throttle quickly if you make it past the initial impact. Not hitting the hooch ten minutes to takeoff might help as well. Why did I say that? Does this software have a backspace on it? Hey, erase that mess about the hooch. Did that work? *THREE SECONDS OF SILENCE* Crap.
*INDISTINGUISHABLE SOUND*
Dammit. These cigarettes never stay lit when I want them to, or they burn too quick. *LIGHTER IGNITING* That and trying to light this thing ouside of a gravity well is like trying to nail Jell-o to a wall. Son of a- shit, that hurt! *CRASH* Problem solved.
*INDISTINCT ANIMAL SOUND*
Well, while on shore leave I got my next photog assignment. Knew this one would land in my inbox eventually. *EXHALATION* I left Colonia Dream about an hour ago for Sagittarius A. The nav computer really hated plotting that one. If it keeps crashing like this I could have a serious problem. *KEYS CLICKING* Honestly I am not too enthused about going there.
*INDISTINCT ANIMAL NOISES*
First, as pretty and fascinating as black holes are, they terrify me a bit. It does add excitement to a photography run though. Luckily Skuld runs cool in the first place, plus I still have all six heat sinks. Plus everybody and their granny has been there, and everyone over five years old knows of it. *EXHALATION* However I was asked by a commander who mentored me when I was learning the trade routes so it's the least I can do in return. After this I am heading back to LHS 3447 for the first time in years. My younger brother will be earning his wings before I get back and I promised him a bounty hunt. Plus who knows? I might get a good laugh or two. I have an old photo of a Sidewinder lodged in the girders somewhere in my archive. Need to find it.
*INDISTINCT ANIMAL NOISES*
Speaking of the aforementioned navigation problems, seems some of the jerky I ordered for this trip was burgled somewhere between the warehouse and my cargo hold. It's no huge problem, but I detest being charged for things that I don't find in my ship.
*CAT MEOWING*
What the hell is that? *SHIP ENGINES DECELERATING* *CLICK* * LASER PISTOL PRIMING* [CENSORED] Show yourself or I will blow you out of the airlock! I'm hung over and am not in the mood for this shit!
*COCKPIT DOOR OPENING* *FIVE SECONDS OF SILENCE*
Cat?? Cat??! *UNINTELLIGIBLE* [CENSORED] Son of a- how the- Cat??!! *UNINTELLIGIBLE*
*CAT MEOWING*
