Zero Percent Club

Last night was crazy. After coming back from killing a bazillion thargoids, I got to my quarters at Artemis Lodge and the girls were there waiting for me as they promised. We had a lot of fun.We woke up late today, had breakfast and went to my Krait Phantom to prepare it for the job. I took the the girls on a ride around the icy belt near the station. One of them is training to become a CMDR, but she hasn't been issued a Sidewinder yet. The other one is a fashion model visiting Celaeno with no intention of ever facing a Thargoid directly. They remind me that Thargoid hunting is not just a way to make some cash, but that it also serves to protect these girls from those dangerous creatures.
I went later out by myself to kill a Cyclops, returned to station, repaired my ship and went right back out again. The next Cyclops turned out to be harder than I expected. I got sloppy and almost lost my ship, managing to overheat and neutralize the caustic substance corroding my hull as it reached 0% of its strength, all while being chased by the nasty Cyclops and its swarm of thargons. It took several tries to get the frame shift drive to launch me into supercruise and back to safety. Here is a video of the tense flight back to Artemis Lodge:
After returning and repairing my ship I went back out, this time with my wingmate Toberius. We managed to destroy seven more Cyclopii. It was a great second Thargoid hunting night. I'm looking forward to meet the girls again later to have some more fun before returning to the bubble. Having been so close to dying makes me want to celebrate that I'm still alive.
