On the Road again, after some troubles

After the first part of the expedition, ended in Xibalba, I crossed Kepler's Crest and the Sanguineous Rim to get back to the Bubble, refuel, and depart for the second leg of the trip.Unfortunately, right when I was about to set sail, news spread of an almost complete lack of Tritium all over the Galaxy, which forced me to delay my departure.
It was after almost two weeks that I decided I had had enough of waiting and that it was time to carry on anyway.
Basically I'm hoping that the issue will be solved by the time I'll run out of fuel, but there is the very real risk that the Wandering Star will be dead in the water at some point.
Anyway, Commander Scoutg and Commander Cybodragon have joined the expedition, but since carrier captains have no way to know who's on board and who isn't - for some reason - I have no idea whether they're actually on board or following at some distance.
Our route now runs straight North towards the Core, then up to the Abyss, before turning East and South to follow the Sagittarius-Carina Arm back home.
While still in the Inner Orion Spur - basically still on out doorstep, I decided to take a brief detour to have a look at the large NGC 6537 Nebula, which for some reason or another I had never seen.
Suprisingly, despite following a VERY busy travel route, I'm making a good number of first discoveries, which include a good handful of Water Worlds and even an undiscovered Earth-like, this one right on the last system before the border with the Norma Expanse.
It looks like it also has a volcano.
The next stop on our route is by the DSSA Sesame, about halfway to the Core.
