Scouting Mission Day 20
05 Jul 2020Excess Fire
Back in to it Destiny, what da ya say, pick it up where we left off?. Why the frak am i asking Destiny what to do huh?, why the frak am i talking to myself... So we just do it, safer out there then here on the carrier, that bar looks to inviting, they don't lock the door anymore when i'm around, that's a good thing... isn't it?Maximum jumponium charged and we're outa here, another neutron jumps takes us to new grounds and the hunt begins. Wireless is very quiet today, no action anywhere going on, most the crew are at some earth tradition july celebration, something to do with freedoms, everyone seems to have their own, every species, everywhere, traditions. everyone's strange... cept me. hmmmm
First system, a few rings to check out, 5 of em, and a distant black hole, .25 of a light year, gonna be a slow day. hang on, there's a derelict ship here, orbiting a brown class 1 gassy, its huge, its markings feel familiar, had better check this out, there are some materials here to collect, no limpet collector on board so i collect them with the cargo scoop, every little bit counts aye. there is a data box with a weak signal, seeing if we can download the data, Destiny tells me its all corrupt, display it anyway Destiny, she complies and its all garbage but still... no... i've seen this before, this is very familiar, this is a very old language, not ancient though, something else, mathematically different, i need a reference. CRAP!!! that's on earth. This i will save for later, when the coast so to speak, is clear. From what i can make out the wreckage appears to be a capitol style vessel, not one i've ever seen, there are many small and medium sized vessels around it, all destroyed, some i recognise as imperials, others, well, no idea, weird designs and markings, must have been a hell of a battle. after a couple of hours, i think its time to leave. Sending notification to carrier of this find and position, failed, wireless is not getting any frequencies at all, as if its being jammed. I've seen this before... with the Thargoids, i'm outa here
This system also has a pair of hm-tf's weird thing is, scanning and mapping is all out of alignment now, i have to stop and re-calibrate everything, what the frak is going on? recalibration failed as well. I cant navigate, nothing is operating correctly, am i stuck here? Les try a full reboot.
Yes. That worked, everything is back to normal, was it a glitch or that wreckage? one wonders now. Jump out successful, a neutron with a pair of hm-tf's, successfully mapped as well. Now on to a m class yellow, this pays as well with a ww and 2 hm-tf's. 1 icy ring as well but just the usual on that. Next, another neutron, nothing worth mentioning here, then back across the previous neutron to another one, and then to a white dwarf, frak, is frakin blue everywhere i look, and i'm running out of fuel. This shift is turning to to be a mind fraker. this dwarf has a icy ring as well, is it my lucky day today, nope, barren, what about this icy planet with a ring, hahaha, i wish. Next star is a class k, with 11 bodies of nothing, as is the next, but with 31, previously visited but not scanned, it holds a hm-tf, every 1.5 million counts huh, tagged it. there's any icy ring here as well, may as well look, nothin, o well. The hunt continues... Next stop, a dc white dwarf with a class l orbiting inside its exclusion zone, that's new, images takes, system yielded nothing though. Now on to a class L with 4 hm-tf's, nice.
Decisions made. I am not returning to the carrier at it is to distant now, will catch up with it later. Deputy Commander informed and recon path is now being determined, where were we.... ahh yes, the hunt continues.
Next stop is a DCV white dwarf, 4 gassy's with 3 ice rings, fingers crossed whatever that means... hmmmm... seems like singles only, crossing fingers... ha... waste of frakin effort. Next is a class a with 11 bodies... 2 icy's checked, nuthin. Last jump for this shift is a blue white a class, 16 bodies,
Now the daughters gone i got me bunk back, thank cravis, bet its a mess.... yep, frakin JHGyt dfj bK*bkkd...
Tidy up first then huh, now that's sorted, time for sleep.
