Commander Adrella//Endeavour//3306-06-19 - Completed raw material gathering

19 Jun 2020Adrella
I finally managed to get a full load of all my raw materials, picking up Antinomy in Outotz HD-J D9-3 and then Yttrium in Oututz LS-K D8-3. This still took several hours, and I will lose a lot of it as I trade down to have a full complement of all materials, but that's unavoidable. I'll just have to do another trip at some point...not looking forward to that.

Having completed my self-assigned mission, I decided to do a little exploring on the way back, mapping several planets along the way. I ended up in the GCRV 4981 system, a small system-wide nebula. I then decided to try and explore the space 'above' the Witchhead nebula, but saw that massive swaths of the space in this area was locked off behind unknown permits.

Considering the location and the frequency of Thargoid encounters, it seems likely that this is Thargoid space, or at least an area of interest to the Thargoids. There's no way of knowing for sure, however. After my own encounter with the Thargoids, I would like to explore this idea further and see what I can find, but that will have to wait.

Plotting a course back to the bubble was a little difficult after venturing so close to this permit-locked area. I had to jump a long way to the galactic West before I could find an appropriate route home. I stopped off in 12 G. Canis Minoris to dock at Fancher Enterprise, trading down the G5 raw materials I'd gathered to fill out my complement. I then made my way to Atfero.

Once home, I switched out to the SJCS Providence and started hunting for the final piece of the engineering materials puzzle, looking for manufactured goods. I feel bad circling the demise of other vessels and picking their bones for goods, but I suppose one day that could be my ship that someone else comes along and makes use of.

While having an excellent amount of cargo space, the jump range on the Providence was starting to get on my nerves, so I went back and switched to the SJCS Majestic, my Krait Phantom. I re-equiped her from her passenger role to cargo hauling, picked up a second 3A collector limpet launcher and gave her a 5A fuel scoop finally. After an hour or so, I realised the day had gotten away on me. I locked the ship down, reducing her heat signature to something minimal so it would be highly unlikely I'd be bothered, and decided to get some rest for the day.
