Started up, Commander.
I ended up coming back later than I thought I would, finally docked in Diabak last night. Came back with more data too. Roughly 560,000,000 in credits. I'm a much richer man now. But I've got an empty sense about it all. We didn't get second place in exploration. When I turned in my data, we were in third place. 10 minutes later, when the deadline arrived, well, we were in fourth. Just by a hair too. Heaven knows I did all I could. Man, I wanted that silver, but the squadron that came in second sold data like crazy all day. There was no way we could catch up. But losing even in third and by such a small margin just has left a bitter taste in my mouth.
Talking to the guys in the LSR, it looks like I'll have to wait several more months before we attempt to win at that again. We'll probably spend this season doing other more important things and working on ourselves. I guess I plan to finally do all the engineering for the Ranger that I've planned on doing. I've got to arrange some more meetings with a few of the engineers I've heard about from my few contacts. Hopefully they can make the Ranger better than ever.
It kinda stinks to have to take a break from my time in the black, but there's no shortage of work to be done around here. Who knows, maybe I'll even throw in with the Reserves again and see what I can do. With all the Thargoids about, I don't doubt they could use another crew to help. Maybe after souping up the Ranger, I could convince the crew to man a different ship, maybe one of those Saud Kruger flagships, the Belugas, to help evacuate some people in need. We'll see in time.
