A003b: blacked out..?! & the ship gets a name...
03 Jan 2016Acen ONYX
En route to Eravate / Sylvester CityWell, when I came to, I was in my Sidewinder, sitting in open space...
The Salvage!
Looked around me; nothing. Scanner sweep; nothing.
That also means no pirates etc - counted my lucky stars.
Checked the Systems -- couldn't tell what the problem was; only remember everything going black.
Guess maybe I blacked out, because I've yet to get used to spaceflight in a LifeSuit, and being all by my lonesome in a tiny brick of a ship. Must've pulled the throttle to zero as I passed out -- cuz I wasn't moving at all -- and the ship likely dropped out of FSD..
Checked my Cargo hold -- it was still there; a whole ton of Gold.
Checked Navigation -- had to reselect Sylvester City around Eravate-6, which means perhaps the ship's systems rebooted while I had blacked out. Which probably also means everything shut down for the duration, so she'd have put out little to no signal -- just another rock floating in space: a white rock.
Good girl. My lucky space rock.
Gonna call you "Moonstone".
Get you a fresh paint job when we land & deliver our payload.
Off we go, baby...
