Commanders Log; Date - 22nd December 3305It's just before Xmas on Earth... oh how I missed being able to celebrate the small things in life. But ever since the Xeno's, nothing has been the same.
I've had enough of it... Xeno's, Pirates, Empire, Feds... I just want out of it all.
I started heading out to Cats Paw. After recently discovering an ancient civilisation, which scans provided me a functional FSD booster, there needs to be more out there.
What's beyond the black? Can we even escape this hell hole?
Everyone is at each others necks. Civil wars breaking out, Federation and Empire won't stop arguing, everyone is pissed at each other.
You know... you would think that the discovery of the alien species that we are apparently calling "Thargoid" would change the human race. That it would finally bring peace and we could work together to ensure the survivability of our species. Nope... it changed nothing, even years later... everything is the same.
So I decided, there must be more out there in the vast emptiness of the black.
On my travels thus far I've seen other commanders who have left their marks in star systems. Are they like me? Do they want to find something.... more?
My squadron have no idea where I'm going... to be honest, even I have no idea where I'm going. but I will try to send back some data of my travels to them for analysis.
I'm not sure if I can do daily updates in my log. There won't be much I feel, apart from my slow descent into space madness.
Another Commander (CMDR Korvatchski) who has been sent out into the black - against his will by the sounds of things - has been transmitting his logbook on an open frequency. I've been an avid reader of his logs... he is not doing so great. I just hope that I don't fall down the same rabbit hole he fell through.
At least he has company. I've decided to get away from people. After being interdicted recently for such tiny, worthless cargo... desperation is showing itself inside the bubble. I don't need any desperate people on my voyage. I've still got access to Galnet, and my log books will have to do for keeping me sane. We shall see.
I'm about a third of the way to Cats Paw. From there... I'm not sure. I wonder what's at the edge of the galaxy? I expect a giant pink energy wall. Only time will tell.
In terms of discoveries. Nothing substantial so far. I've found some gas giants with water based life, but nothing intelligent.
What I do know, once.... if.... I do return, someone is going to have a field day with this data.
