Home Sweet Home

I had forgotten what it was like to see another person. I made it back from Sagittarius A, and immediately went to hand in my bounties from exploring. As I inserted each card, I saw my name come up several times with the first to discover. I expected one or two, but the amount I received was extraordinary. I headed down to the Shatner's Log for a drink of real ale, and not the synth stuff that you get in most places. It is the real stuff. Oh the taste! The taste. It did go right to my head though, and I ended up buying a round for everyone in the bar. That cost me 2,500cr. After the 23 million I just made though, that was nothing.
I spent the night there and then flew to Kaushpoos. I stripped the ship out and made it ready for anything. Mining, trading, killing. I think I may head out again at some point in the near future and try for the roundabout way. Going around the outside of the galaxy. Maybe even go up and down as well.
I learned more than a few things from this journey. One of the most ridiculous was to not switch off your thrusters whilst you are in Supercruise. Doesn't say that in the manual. And when you hear the computer keep saying "Frame Shift Charging ... 5...4...3...2...1" it addles your brain and you do stupid things like that. I won't again though.
I am going to sleep in a soft bunk tonight. The Galactica has an offer on - rent a bunk, get the woman free for the night.
