Formidine Rift Expedition: Log 1

It's amazing just how well trodden the path out to the rift is, these days. The Fleet Carrier New Zealand took a couple of days to get out to the Heart and Soul Nebulae but the the expedition earned over 20 million credits in discoveries on the dogleg route we took so that should cover the costs this week.
The pirate ships in the nebula are not as well engineered as the ones in the bubble. The initial plan to do a bit of bounty hunting while there was abandoned in favour of pressing on.
We found the Rift sites Alpha to Gamma pretty quickly and had a good look round. Given that it's been 40 years since Project Dynasty, the chances of finding any survivors from the clues left on the logs seems unlikely.
The logs identify ELW but no locations and we found a few in the area nearby but nothing worthy of note which hadn't been found already.
The plan is to head further out and below the rim. See if we can't find something others may have missed.
It's a long shot but this is what the Fleet Carrier was requisitioned for, and to be honest, given the state of affairs in the bubble right now, it's probably a good time to be away.
It's pretty out here. The views are totally different from the core. So dark and the stars are so much further apart. I like it. If nothing else, we should get some nice pictures out of it.
At best, we'll find out what happened out here.
At worst, we'll find out what happened the same way.
