"So, there's been a little hiccup in my plan to travel to the center and it's because I'm bloody reckless. Yes, father, I'm young and stupid. I'll admit it. I found a icy moon in close orbit of a sister Gas Giant. I noticed deep canyons and thought I'd swoop in and follow them. That far down it's dark so I turned my lights on to navigate. Could've used night vision but decided headlights were the coolest. Banked around a bend and came across a large elevated chunk of rocky ice. Was going too fast for rapid course correction and slammed the belly of my ship into it and into it hard sending me tumbling. Gave me a rock of a lifetime. Shields were gone and my haul nearly collapsed in on itself. Critical damage. I 'crash-landed' and shut non-essential systems down. That crash really rattled my body. I can taste that irony blood taste in my mouth a bit. Bios show that I've suffered from medium blunt force trauma. Heads still spinning but I'm okay enough to make this log. This isn't really a good start to my exploration trip. I'm lucky. Could've killed me…
<<She chuckled>>
...but it didn't. Guess I can...thank the stars and my luck for that one. Won't be pushing it like that again. I'm going to rest a bit and assess the damage later sometime. Already a crazy start to a long journey. Can't wait to see what up ahead. Anyways, Commander logging signing off and not for good."
