Commander's Log... is that what you say? I dunno... never bothered with one of these before.My name is Saga Pryde and I first left Europa in a rattletrap Sidey on November 22, 3304. That's almost 19 months ago. Over a year and a half.
Dad hasn't forgiven me for wanting to jump systems instead of unload freight or work traffic control. I spent my whole life at Haberlandt Survey. Either unloading things for the freighters or pointing and laughing at the idiots who were trying to land an Anaconda the wrong way around.
Funny that I should be recording this on the bridge of my own Anaconda.
I've been all over The Bubble. I ran cargo for the Imperials. I ran data for the Feds. I'm sitting in Alliance space right now, but I'll get to that in a bit. I flew a goddamn rattletrap Cobra Mark III to Colonia and back. I've made hundreds of millions of credits in such a short time it's like winning the lottery. I own a small fleet of ships. Anaconda, Sidewinder (a much better one than that loaned one was), Python, AspX, Cobra Mk3, and even a Mamba.
Still, that doesn't impress dad any. He says I'm just wasting time out there, instead of doing actual work. That I'm acting like some over privileged Imp. I maybe shouldn't have told him about the Mamba. That one was my bad.
The rest of the ground crew was happy to hear from me, though. A few even said they might come visit me. Asked me where I was. I told them: 59 Virginis.
You can't go home again... but sometimes you can make a new one.
You see, I've been hanging around with this group called The Alchemy Den. Chill squadron, really. Call their base The Tavern. It's in Alliance space, right near the Fed border. I don't really need a home, I suppose... but having some place to ground you, to come back to. To say... this is home... yeah, I like that. Plus, it's a hell of a lot easier for most people to get to than Sol.
So, where do I go from here? Probably out to that unpronounceable system with the triple LTD hotspot. Then... I was thinking of refitting the Conda for exploration and jumping to Sag A.
After all, I am named after it.

Um... end log?
