It was a beautiful woman.
You know how things go like this... You have the best of intentions and set to out to solve a problem. I headed out into the black with the intent of filling holes in data of certain stellar cartographic databanks. I did some good work, repairing holes and even adding some new data never before seen before; including an Earth-like metal rich world. Beginner's luck probably.
But then she called. Ok, she didn't call... she sent a message. I was 7,000 light years away from home so live communication was impossible. But nevertheless, she called to me.
And I answered.
I pointed that DBX back at the bubble and jumped so many times straight my eyes bled. I cut a path across the inky darkness and and left split photons in my wake. It's been nearly two years and I'm grateful for every second she's given to me. But I hear the call of the empty blackness again.
I want to venture out and see what hasn't been seen again. To be the first to step on to a planet and see the star rise above the horizon. The best part? She wants to come with me. We are stocking up the ship and plan to strike out soon... Where to? Not sure.
That way.
Out there.
