Earl Grey

Captain's Logbook, stardate 3301-09-19.SagA* is amazing. Gigantic. Breathtaking. I saw pictures of it back at the University of Alioth, but this is not the same. Some things in life can't be explained, you have to see them with your own eyes. The supermassive black hole in the center of our galaxy is one of those things.
With a lot awe I slowly turned around and started charging my frameshift. Mission accomplished, time to go home. I'm really looking forward to get back into inhabited space. To see other ships, other commanders, stations to dock at. See the Perez Ring and the Liberté. I guess my friends are there right now, ordering the fifth round of beer or so. Oh, beer. My reserves are gone for 5,000 lightyears. It's kinda difficult to estimate the quantity of beer you're going to need for a journey that takes you farther away than all the routes you ever travelled - combined. It's only tea left. Earl Grey. Hot. I guess I'll take one and make another 2,000 ly today. Brings me closer to my next beer.
For freedom!
