Back to the Bubble - Chapter 5 - All the way Home
22 Nov 2019Smertkopf
I reached the Bubble right around 06:00 on November 20th, 3305, less than twenty-four hours after my encounter with the monster in the galactic core, coming into Apsarre in Freelancers Alliance territory to the beautiful sight of Altuna Settlement, the first station I've seen in a week of cruising through the black:
You can't hear me, but I am breathing the Galaxy's biggest sigh of relief at this moment...
I made dock and connected immediately to the local Universal Cartographics office to turn in my exploration data. Ten minutes later, I had cashed in for just over 200 million credits. It's not painite mining, mind you, but not bad for a week's work nonetheless. Even better, though, I finally earned my Elite rank in exploration from the Pilot's Federation:
Getting a little choked up here...
I'm tired and need to sleep for a day or two, I think, so I'll close this entry with some stats from my journey. Since I left Mammon for Colonia and then returned to Apsarre via Sagittarius A* some three weeks ago, here are some of my accomplishments:
Total Light Years Traveled: +/- 60k
Total Stars Scanned: 3220
Total Stars First Discovered: 2164
Total Stars Value: 4,203,531 cr
Total Planets Scanned: 8732
Total Planets First Discovered: 7,699
Total Planets Value: 205,646,251 cr
Earth-Like Planets First Discovered: 8
Ammonia Worlds First Discovered: 10
Water Worlds First Discovered: 86

* = Citation Needed
That's the stuff I'm most proud of, anyway. If you've followed these logs this far, thank you for reading. Now that I'm back in the Bubble, further logs will detail my adventures back here in the home of humanity. Until then, it's great to be back home, and fly safe, Commanders!
