New Beginning

That's where I am. In the heart of the Rosette Nebula, there's an asteroid station called New Beginning. It's a hop, skip, and 45 jumps from the beta Site station in the Jellyfish Nebula. My scans picked up along the way were not quite as lucrative as the last batch - it was a much shorter trip - and most of the stars along the direct route had been previously explored. But now that I'm here, I have so many directions I can go. (It's really nice being in a star-heavy sector, not having to boost my FSD to move forward.)Up or down? In or out? Decisions, decisions.
Found another wreck in an out-of-the-way system. I managed to rescue two crew in escape pods, so I feel good about that. I feel less good about the cargo they were carrying: personal weapons and narcotics. I don't know if they were smuggling or running for a cartel or what. I didn't feel great about selling the stuff at New Beginning, but I gotta eat, right? The weapons weren't strictly illegal, and the drugs... well, there wasn't a whole lot of it, and I don't think it can do much harm here. Or maybe I'm just rationalizing and fooling myself. Probably should have just blasted the canister.
Hm. Have to think about this.
