Scouting Mission Day 23
08 Jul 2020Excess Fire
frakin wireless goin off, waking me up, who the hell... oh, its the daughter, mothers had a little accident, drove in to the garage door. "oh", i go, "is that all" she continues "mums ok but he car, not so much", "yeah, is ok, we're insured". "Good" she replies, the house is as well aye?" Of coarse i'm thinking, that's what i gave her the frakin money for...... oh crap, "she did pay the insurance aye?" thinking the worst, hell, was i wrong or what... "oh yes, she paid it all, everything's up to date, but on that note, i'm going to need some money" "um why?" "ummm, we need somewhere to live now cause when she hit the garage, the car caught fire and the garage caught fire and you know the garage is connected to the house and now the house is gone and i need to bail mom out of jail cause she was drunk and its all your fault but the good thing is lilo's house is ok" Uhuh, its at this point Lilo turns his head and looks directly at me with i'm absolutely certain was a smile and proceeds to purr as loudly as possible, now i know you understand whats being said, "so your house is ok,... you were supposed to be in it by fraking now...
"OI... you were supposed to take the damned cat back with you" i'm near yelling at the wireless, "OI... Hey..." strange, its dead, she's not there, frak..
In jail huh... heheh. Time to get up. What the frak are you purrin about you oversized ball of fluff.
I didn't need to ask about the data she had for me, couldn't, no such thing as security on these transmissions, to many relays, mentioning Lilo's house was all i needed to hear, it the hangar, he should be there now, yo know, security, as i mentioned before, he's a good hunter, didn't realise he was on board when i left.. My daughter, she's a good girl, maybe i shouldn't try to sell her huh, no point anyways, she's to much like her mother, and everyone knows it. hehehe
Coffees up, better add a shot to this one.
Righto, to work, hang on, we are in a new position, nav shows me we have moved 1500 light years, cool, time to see whats in this area. Carriers quiet, all asleep... again, earlier than usual for me but what the hell, come on Lilo, lets go. After a crappy start, its not lookin so good out here either, dropping down to the -2500 plane again. a few hm-tf's, an ammonia, a couple of ww's, neutrons and wd's all mostly empty, now down to -2200 without the use of jumponium, not bad. Destiny's cruise assist failed her again, flew us straight in to an icy ring, damage is minor, but strangely wiped out the docking computer, send a wireless to Mon Capitaan, gonna need some paint again, oh yea, the bar doors broken... again, wasn't me...
checking out this F class, white, at -2250 below, quite a lot here, only one to scan tho, i think im close to the limit, will see.
There's a neutron further down, requires minimum jumponium tho, what the hell, and we're jumping... down there. Its a neutron, from here we're neutron hopping, that way, at least we can get out this way, until i ran out of neutrons. so -2343 is the lowest i can go here, time to pick a direction, there a few routes available on autoplot, i am surprised. next systems a da, lots of then in this region, got quite a few gas giants to check out tho, maybe some goodies in these rings, or some cool photos... she burnt the house down, unbelievable. 1st ring, opals and fuel, singles only, 2nd, empty, 3rd, same as 1st, 4th, same as 2nd 5th... seeing a pattern here, nope, full of things that we are not wanting, 6th and last, an ice world, what was it... arms are crossed. waste of frakin time.... Next, a bleu class a with nothing then on to a k class with 28 bodies. nothing to visit here, Next. A dab dwarf, with a l class, nothing more, climbing up now, Next in to a class k system, 2 hm-tf's found 220000 ls away, wouldn't have bothered but there's some icy rings over there, yep, shouldn't have bothered, next, and we're jumping... up there. frakin drunk huh, stupid... where's my whiskey, i need a drink.
Next. class k, 3 hm-tf's, got em mapped, now plotting a course back to the carrier. 3 more ww's and a dozen more hm-tf's, nothing spectacular. A few more jumps land me in to a class k yellow orange system, 1, 2, 3 hm-tf's then an out door world, perfect, another nice way to end the shift.
3 jumps to Greybeards Hope, then the bar... if i'm allowed... honestly... It wasn't me.. this time...
