GCRV 6493 - The forgotten waypoint of death."New Year, New Discoveries 3307" had this final destination removed mid tour.
With very good reason...
Oh it's a pretty looking place. All made up with reds, purples and pinks. Like an overflowing candy store beckoning your hungry inner child.
Do yourself a favor. Eat somewhere else.
You arrive all excited. Carefully get to the business of scanning the system and mapping its valuables.
Well what's this you notice, right by the most valuable planet?
A phenomena eh?
Seen them all before...
But I'm right here I might as well get a closer look.
Just a few more of those spikey things. Composition scanner doesn't even register a new CODEX entry.
Wait. There's a couple of blocks on the radar. It could be a fancy new mollusk.
No. It's a glowing blob of doom. Can't resist though can you?
Got the composition scanner deployed so it's no trouble to add this bright jigger to the list of knowledge.
Then it bites you. Not just a nibble. Oh no it takes a chunk out of you and another before you even think about turning.
You glance down at your instrument panel and wonder why your fully charged shield is protecting you in no way at all.
I expect you'll probably get out alive.
