Lucky escape

3304 August 23, ThursdayJust got hyperdicted again. This is becoming normal for me when traveling to the Pleiades. It wasn't like this until two weeks ago. Is it because I have been fighting them? Do they recognise me despite being interdicted in three different ships now? Do they know I reached Expert status around then? Are humans somewhere tipping them off? And why do they just scan me and let me go?
This time it was nearly a disaster. I looked to my fuel gauge when I rebooted and saw just a thin line. I managed to jump a little over 8 Ly to the nearest star on nothing but hydrogen fumes.
