Pre-Flight Checks [17 0625 Z JUL 3306]She is a bit dusty... I should have done some preservation maintenance months ago. Looks like it is going to be taking a couple of hours to check her systems before we start.
Her navigation computer is a little bit on the slow side, the Winjeel is not have this problem and they use the same architecture. I must have missed a database update or two. I am not sure if Lamarck Orbital has any spare navigation computers, a lot of explorers (and the new fleet carriers) have come through here recently and bought a lot of the spares I usually rely on. It is a good thing I upgraded their computers to be the same as the Woomera (II), the Skyfox, and the Gannet. If her computer fails to load the new database, and there are no spares left here, I will have some options for cannibalisation.
Everything else seems to be running reasonably smoothly, once this is sorted out, I am going to set my destination and head off. Currently planning on taking a roundabout route to Colonia. Once there I am going to reassess how we are travelling and I will either take the direct route back to Nanabozho or take a non-direct route to the centre, Sagittarius A*.
