Off To The Core

It's taken a long time to get to where I am now. I'm not the wealthiest pilot, nor am I the most experienced. But I took the long grind up from my time in a sidewinder. I started with very little, and made my way all the way up to a mighty Anaconda. And once I did that I spent quite some time building up enough credits to comfortably buy and outfit any ship I desired. Who would have thought that I'd decide to go back to my roots - to the second ship I ever owned - a Diamondback Explorer.And that's what I'm in now, after all that work. I'm flying the SLS Eternity Clock all the way to the core of our galaxy, if I can. I've decided that, despite not taking much in the way of notes or journals before, but this journey is big enough that I thought I'd start now. There's no telling what will happen out here, and I've already seen so much. I don't know exactly where I am or where I'm going, though I do have a rough plan. Goal 1 is to reach the Red Spider Nebula, and I'm already half way there. The journey thus far has been largely uneventful, minus the one time I ventured a tad too close to a brown giant - and I'm not complaining. As long as I don't make too many mistakes like that I think this journey could be quite successful.
But I grow tired out here in the black, so I think I'll stop here for a while and see if I can't get some sleep. I'm in orbit around a blue star - nothing seemingly unique about it - but it sure is beautiful - and as far as I know no one has seen it before me. And that alone makes it special.
