Commander Adrella//SJCS Endeavour//3306-09-03 - Raw materials, take 2
05 Sep 2020Adrella
I managed to make quick work of the gathering of Antimony and Yttrium, meaning I've cleared both the Outotz sector systems. I took an extended route to HIP 36601 and scanned a number of planets along the way, mostly high metal worlds, though a few terraformable ones and several water worlds.After arriving in HIP 36601, I headed for the third star. After setting down on C 1 D, I powered down. It's been quite a long trip, and the Endeavour needs a bit of a spruse and maintenance. As I donned the suit to check the exterior of the ship, I noticed just how worn the paint was. The amount of it that was gone was either impressive or something that needs addressing. I was thinking of getting a new paint job anyway...
After the maintenance and cleaning was done, I decided to take some time to myself. I trawled GalNet, finding some reports commanders were sending back of their expeditions out in the black. There were also some updates to the many wars with taking place between minor factions across the bubble. There were a few messages asking if I'd like to get involved, but I'm just a bit too far away.
I settled into my modest bunk and read a few books I'd picked up in my travels. Proper books, paper and everything, none of this holographic nonsense. I also played around with several blueprints, seeing what modifications I might want to make once I've gathered all the materials out here.
