Planetary Nebula Tour, Little Gem.

It's been a busy 2 days for Kirameki and I. I've been making my way through the black in an attempt to visit some very interesting planetary nebula, and it's been quite a beautiful an interestin journey. For this trip I spent the bulk of it traveling neutron boosted jumps, and it's been a rather interesting flight. I've somehow arrived at Little Gem with only 1% hull damage, and almost no module damage aside from the FSD, which was something I planned for in this trip courtesy of my method of travel. So now I'm here. Little Gem. It is absolutely stunning. The other nebula I visited were pretty amazing too but none of them were quite like this. This one just feels so... isolated. The star glows a stunning purple and the gas clouds surrounding me are perhaps some of the most beautiful I've ever seen. And it's so... quiet. The closest systems are far enough away that they don't even show up on my nav screen.
I'm a little sad that there isn't a planet I can land on in this wondrous place. I would love to sleep here but I don't trust drifting so freely. I'm glad I made the trip here though, it was well worth it. For now, it's time to jump a system or two over, find a place to land, and get some well earned rest. When I awake I'm going to make a beeline back to the bubble.
Kirameki, my ship, has done an admiral job getting me here, and once we return to the bubble I'm excited to plan our next journey. For such a small ship, she does some amazing things.
