Journey #3, revisited

Wha... what the hell? How long have I been in cryo??Over seven months, apparently. I checked my flight logs. Slowly things came back to me. Yes, I had flown to the edge of the Eock Flyi sector and set down on the only planet there, a high-gravity HMC. The light was blue, the scenery was pleasant, so I had decided to take a little rest on my voyage up the Norma Expanse.
A little too long, I see. Time to boot everything back up. I've set a course for a planetary nebula - Zunoa SY-A e0. I'm sure I won't be the first to visit but it looks interesting. I did find some good stuff along the way, like this beautiful A/G binary system:
I also just about died on a jump. The nav computer dumped me out of hyper space between two stars about 5 light seconds apart. I took a bit of heat damage but much more than a few seconds and I would have been toast.
I also discovered ELW #7. This one had a pretty major ice cap.
Finally, I've arrived at the black hole. There are three Class III gas giants and an ice planet. Certainly nothing inhabitable. Quite anticlimatic, given the journey.
Now I'm off to find a DSSA carrier and sell all this data. Only 113 jumps...
