First Logbook Entry - Is This Thing On?

Beginning audio logbook speech to text recognition."Is this thing on? I think it's on. I guess we'll see if I end up talking to myself or not... not that it would be much different than usual. I figured that now is as good of a time as any to start making these logbook entries.
I'm out deep in the black hunting various types of planet-based life. Stratum Tectonicas, mostly. The stuff is pretty common and the Pilot's Federation is paying out near top dollar for discoveries. The only two trades I haven't been fully recognized by the Pilot's Federation as 'Elite V' in are Exploration and Exobiology. That's why I'm out this far from the Bubble in the first place and why I now have the time to make these logbook entries. Before all this I was fighting tooth and nail day after day to repel those damn Thargoids. I gave 'em hell, too. If the onboard computer was keeping up with me then I've killed over 78,000 of the Scouts. That's no small feat. In fact, I'd venture to say it's probably the most of any commander as far as Scouts go, but who knows. One day I'll get back to the bubble and kill more Interceptors too. For now though it's more planets and the life that inhabits them.
I haven't felt space madness creep in yet and if it hasn't by now then I'm probably immune to it. I've been out here for months with no real ill side effects. A few times I've come in way too fast towards planet surfaces, but that's just me being distracted by my onboard videos. Maybe that's the only reason that I haven't succumbed to space madness yet. I made sure to download my favorite movies, shows, podcasts, and even some of the stuff the Empire and Federation put out, but those aren't super entertaining. Anyway, I'm rambling.
The two main reasons I'm making these audio logs are as follows. One: If I do end up too distracted and impact a planet then I'd at least like for people to know what I was doing out here. Maybe it could server as a warning to other Commanders. It'd also be nice if my friends know what happened to me... if someone ever finds the hypothetical crash site that is. The other reason is to stave off space madness. I know, I know, I said I was immune and all that... but my video cache will only last so long and after that it's just me out here. Talking to document my thoughts might help. I'll check in daily with my accomplishments and the such.
Commander VladmirMcDoogle, signing out. Ending audio logbook speech to text recognition."
