Back in the Black
26 Aug 2021Kingofspaince
After a short retirement from hunting bounties and cashing in exploration data for the CIU, I've got the itch to go out into the void. I put my vulture aside, and stepped back into Black Philip, my Asp Explorer, and set out for Colonia. Black Philip is brilliantly outfitted, and after a couple dozen jumps I'm ready to hit the Neutron Highway and make some real progress.My journey is going to take me across the galaxy: from Colonia to SagA*, to Beagle Point, and back. I plan to travel to the top and bottom of the galactic disk on my way home. My Krait needs outfitting, and I plan to finance her with this journey. I miss being out in the middle of nowhere, landing in a crater and shutting down to sleep, discovering and mapping new worlds, and leaping across the galaxy 250 light years at a time. I don't plan on going back home for a long time. I hope to find some pristine, undiscovered systems far out of the reach of most ships. I hope to see the strangest sights the galaxy has to offer. I've been away from the black for far too long.
