Voyage End
At long last... we've finally arrived...
After 2 months of preparations and galactic travel, we finally made it to Colonia! We're home!!! It's taken so long... so many jumps, mishaps, and breakdowns along the way... but we're finally here.
It feels like so long ago that I was back in the Bubble, exploring and trading in proper "civilized" space. When I first decided to go on this journey back in February, I had very little planned out save for the destination. All I knew was there was somewhere I wanted to go, and I wanted to go there as quick as I could. I even met folks who tried to argue against me, telling me it was a fool's errand, yet I kept on despite their misgivings.
It wasn't until I had actually prepped my ship and set out on the journey that I started giving any major thought behind what I would do when I got there. I'd not given much thought about what I wanted out of this trip; as soon as they released me from the asylum, I just wanted to get out and feel the fresh air, see the night sky once again. I've tried my hand at mining and trading, and I even recall that time I took out a pirate, so if I wanted to I could do just about anything. But... honestly, it feels like the kinds of things I want out of life aren't really viable in a place like this. I'd love to go into xenobiology or planetary geoscience, but neither of those are particularly well-paying jobs in this economy. They're more passion projects for folks who like to really dig down and work for their passion.
(Which I see no problem with. I mean, how many other people would be willing to spend weeks staring at Bark Mounds all day?)
And now here I am, at the end of this grand voyage to Frontier space, yet still no closer to a decision of what I'd like to do. I mean, there's plenty of time for me to decide, so it's not like there's any pressure. Still, though, it's something I feel like I should've decided on by now. One thing is for sure, though... I am so happy I made it here. Just looking at the wear on the Mobula's paint job is giving me goosebumps... we've gone through so much. Think maybe after we rest for a little while, then we can get started on what we want to do from here.
