DBX Tumbleweed
I'd been thinking of doing it for a long, long time. Then, just like that, I parked my cutter, TIl Valhalla, jumped in my DBX Tumbleweed and headed into the void. I didn't even really think of where I was wanting to go, why I was going... I just knew I needed to get away from the bubble and away from people.
The first day, I was only able to really get about 200 ly away from Chona. But today is the first REAL day of my journey.
My destination? Hell if I know. Thataway. Out there. Second start to the right, and straight on. I've dropped out of supercruise and am drifting in a system the computer calls Phylurn US-T b3-3. It's a small system, not too much going on here. 5 planets orbiting a class M star.
So far, I've taken two 254+ ly neutron star hops. Those are so exhilarating. The nav computer has 3 in a row lined up for tomorrow. I'm super excited about that.
More to come tomorrow.
Distance from home (Smoot Station): 4,198 ly
Distance from first destination: approx 9,500 ly
