Captain's Log: 20th July 3306, Katta System
20 Jul 2020Michalfocpl
Entry: 1Star date: 20 July 3306
Current system: Katta, outside Shinrarta Dezhra
Task at hand: Waiting...
I collected all my charts and I am studying them sat in the cockpit of my beaten up T9 hauler, USS Mule. The HUD just popped up the message that all services have been suspended. It's nearly time to move onto the last leg of preparation for my expedition - fuelling up the carrier, USS Victory. The fleet for the journey is complete, HMS Thunder, the local exploration Imperial Clipper; USS Hammer, which needs renaming, not came up with appropriate name yet, long range exploration Anaconda; HMS Dreadnought, offensive federal Corvette; and main ship to keep this venture viable, the HMS Flying Dutchman, mining Imperial Cutter.
With armament like that what possibly could go wrong?
Destination: Luhman, outside Sol
Time for departure: T - 60s... It never gets old.
Task: Buy shit loads of tritiium.
Engines engaged, my good ol' trader of the past, re-fitted to do two tasks and two only - load and unload the carrier, is slowly lifting off the landing pad for its destination - Sol. Strange that just before I take on my long journey to Beagle Point and back, my market adviser told me to head to the humanity's starting system to fuel up. Is it the last chance to say my last goodbyes? Is the fate giving me this last opportunity to set things right with HER?
Bollocks! WE make our fate. Over and out.
Entry 2
Current Location: Luhman, on board of HMS North Star, former USS Victory, The Hubble Pub
Destination: Hangover
Downing another pint I came to realize that my carrier needs new name considering the venture I am going to undertake and might even not return from. HMS North Star it is then. Due to the amount of alkohol in my bloodstream I am willing to take bets with the crew how many times I will have to use my insurance policy to rebuy the ships. Current highest bet is 126... Anyway, former USS Hammer will be renamed to HMS Trident, soon as I pull myself together after tonight.
Over and out.
