The meanderings of Pook

Last cycle I have tried to trace a certain Pook's presence throughout the Bubble.
Plenty of traces, no Pook.
I sat outside a station in my sidey and wondered where to go next. I could go to some far-off big O-type to find something cool. I could play tourist and visit some oddballs out there. I could revive the Robigo Bikinilines.
But that all didn't sound like fun.
So I typed "Puck" (the name of the sidewinder is Robin Goodfellow Registration PUCK) and found nothing. Odd... I know for certain there is a moon in the Cradle system by that name. Apparently nothing mention worthy.
I did find some "Pook". No "Pooka" alas. But a search on just "Pook" turned up a nice list of stations big and small all over the All.
That gave me an idea.

The idea was simple:
- Prepare the Robin for travel (27 ly and a fuel scoop)
- jump to the nearest Pook
- Visit the object and take a picture (With the name on it preferably)
- Plop down a bookmark
- Travel to the next nearest Pook (there was a situation with two Pooks at 106ly)
- Repeat until end of list

The trek took me a while. It was fun!
It didn't make me much money with a sidey. About 1.5 megacreds I think. But who cares. I have enough and I don't own all the ships I don't want.

Anyway. Thank you for wasting precious seconds on this nonsense.
I hope it entertained.

Oh yes. I have all those pictures but I do not want to spam the site with my boring screenshots. So... There's one.

I wonder where a search on "Cookie" will take me! ... or "Cook".

Be well!
