Into the dark I #2

Onto Waypoint 2 [Outotz XW-A d14-2]After getting to my ship and depositing the pods in the cargo bay wiring them up to keep them powered it was time for a rest.
Thinking about the situation however I came to the conclusion that judging by the state of the wreck there was no dinner waiting for them at home. Anyway taking into account that the cargo was mainly narcotics I did not have to wrestle down my conscience too much to decide to fly on and continue my trip.
So I continued on to the rim of the Orion Spur with long jumps into areas less explored, however the next couple of jumps turned out to be the explorers bread and butter ones. Mainly icy bodies and some metal content planets and moons but nothing too interesting. Little on first discoveries.
These are also realities of the explorers life and it is the moments that I am thankful for FTL data transmission making it possible to receive Hutton Orbital Radio even far away from the bubble.
In Wregoe EC-U D3-6 I came across my first ammonia planet which was already known in the ship database but I was able to use the new exploration technology to map the surface.
System HIP 40641 was quite interesting as it had three stars and two high metal content worlds with terraformable conditions which I was able to map.
After these smaller discoveries I came into some systems with unexplored worlds I decided to let the computer plot a new route with lower jump ranges to increase the amount of visited systems. I made some more jumps on my erratic itinerary and ended up in Outotz XW-A d14-2. It contains a lot of landable moons with rare materials so I decided to land and gather some before continuing.
I could gather some Arsenic, Tin and Technetium and rest from the long flight.
