I've spent the entire day either in one of the station bars, or in the room I rented. I've parked Nyx for repairs, so I can't really go anywhere unless I take that Apex taxi. Those neutron jumps really did a number on the FSD, and while I patched up the integrity of some of the modules, I had no way of patching up the power plant while out there in the deep. I'd have to shut it down, but no power would also mean no oxygen. I wouldn't have been able to do the necessary repairs on my emergency supply alone, and unfortunately for Nyx I happen to like breathing.
Luckily, I should be able to do some maintenance on her now that I'm in port. I've got a lot of work to do though, can't say I'm not procrastinating. My external hull showed very light damage, but the internal hull integrity itself was 19% according to the ship computer, so I'll have to deal with that in addition to the modules and components. The limpets managed to maintain the hull in space, but it wasn't quality work and it showed. Although, what can you expect from repair drones anyway. It could go faster if I hired help from the station mechanics, but frankly I don't want anyone tuning Nyx except myself and trusted friends, so I reckon I might spend some time here til I get the job done.
The Colonia Council has also been requesting my help with field missions. I might take them up on it after repairs. Gonna have to play nice with them if I want an in with Mel Brandon. Think I'll do some maintenance for them at first, although scav cleanup wouldn't be too bad either. My trigger finger's itching after all that time in deep space, and needs have to be satisfied.
Anyway, I should get going. These are prime drinking hours.
Comrey out.
