Just left that xeno crash site, gotta say the turbulence in that crater was unexpected. Judging by the numerous shipwrecks it's fair to guess that I'm definitely not the only one that got caught by surprise. Seeing as how they're large wrecks it was wise to bring a small ship. Wouldn't you believe it, no sooner than four minutes after picking up this Thargoid Sensor some asshat tried to interdict my ship. Considering how I had just left the site itself it makes me wonder why he couldn't get his own? For all this headache I hope the data I'm en route to retrieve from this ground site is worth it, and I am standing by what I said. After this they can get the data themselves.
*LIGHTER FLICKING*
Now don't get me wrong here, I do enjoy being able to get away from home base for a bit, even if it is just a couple of hours. *Exhalation* However it's different when well aware of the fact that I'm taking a monumental risk here for a bunch of unadventurous science pukes. I swear I'm going to get back at whomever I have to drag along for the trip later on.
COVAS: FRAME SHIFT DRIVE CHARGING.
*KEYBOARD CLICKING*
On a final note, as soon as I am done gathering this data I seriously need to take the port engine assembly apart and figure out why that knock in it has gotten even worse. I swear if it was any louder the microphone would be picking it up.
COVAS: WARNING. UNSTABLE HYPERPACE TRAJEC *INAUDIBLE*
What the hell? *cigarette crackling* Don't you dare take a shit mid-jump, dritt flekk! If you do what part of me hasn't jumped to another system is going to give you The Screwdriver!
*LOUD CRASH*
Well that was weird. At least I didn't get dumped on the other side of the galaxy.
*INCREDIBLY LOUD INDISTINGUISHABLE NOISE*
By Odin's beard you can't be serious!! A malfunction would've been preferential to this!
*CARGO HOLD OPENING*
Nope! Take your shit back, I don't want it!
*VERY LOUD INDISTINGUISHABLE NOISE*
*ORBITAL CAM DEPLOYING*
If I'm about to get my ass killed I might as well get it on video.
*EMP SURGE DETECTED*

I'm not going to look a gift horse in the mouth, but I had expected much worse. Talk about almost sh- oh crap it turned red. I'm in hot water.
