off the grid
30 May 2019Kilo-5
starting off at a well known station i aimed to just vanish into the unknown . as i looked at the galaxy map in anticipation with no destination in mind hoping to find some phenomenon somewhere out there or even discover the fabled RAXXLA . as i lifted off the ships computers subtle tones rang out "landing gear retracted " i knew this was the start of a long journey to nowhere . looking out through the cockpit glass the mail slot was a beckoning call to begin edging outwards into the black cold and somewhat relaxing no fire zone . i thrust the throttle forward with much haste as the engines moan under the demand for more power and closely watch my indicated speed rise to max output thinking to myself "where will i end up who will i meet WHAT WILL I MEET " pointing my ship towards the indicated jump point the ships computer started its countdown 5.4.3.2.1. boom i was on my way through witch space . relaxing and scary is how i would describe witch space with the sounds and sights being equally as sinister ringing out almost like it wanted to grab you into the unknown to do untold things to your ship . it didnt last long though as it was interrupted by the arrival at my next system which was a relief in some seance but left me on high alert as i was unsure as to what lay within the system . fortunately the system was empty as the sensors were blank with only rocky bodies and 2 suns . once the scans of all planets were completed through the f.s.s i continued on my journey. 245 jumps later and numerous discoveries and fuel scooping im finally far enough away to say im off the grid out in the black i will continue my journey to the edge of nowhere and maybe one day i will return to civilisation to share my findings but untill such time o7 cmdrs fly safe and stay frosty
