Leg Four: Failure, Loss, and The Future
26 Jun 2020Saga Pryde
Commander's Log aboard The Tavern, 59 VirginisWell, that ended with a fizzle.
After not being able to get across the gap between arms with normal jumps... I made a near fatal error. I neutron boosted. Into a system I didn't have the range to escape from.
Lucky for me, however, a bulk freighter was coming back from one of the DSSA carriers and picked up my distress call.
Not so lucky for the Helios Skimmer, they had no way of transporting the ship and me. So, I boarded the freighter, activated the destruct remotely and watched the ship that had taken me nearly 25,000 ly from home explode.
And yes, I did save my plants and bobbles.
So, now I sit here looking at the feed of the station's mail slot, watching ships come and go, I have to figure out what to do next.
I could go mining. I could go back into the black... but on a less crazy route. I could go grind some rep and see about getting a Sol permit, like I said in my last log.
I dunno what to do.
Maybe I'll go back to Sol. Just for a visit.
End Log.
