LS3 Log - WP 1 ~ 2 [A long way from home.]
09 Apr 2022KolaKattz
Before we start, I just wanted to say that if you have slow internet this log may be a teeny tiny bit slow. There's a lot of screenshots in here, even my notetaking application is starting to stutter!
Home. Well, my home anyways. It looks incredibly small from here, hell it makes me feel tiny in comparason, but it is home.
Why do I bring this up? Well, I have quite the explaination to give! If you want to know whats happened beforehand, before all this, please have a quick glance over my previous log.
So yes! Lost Souls 3! That one big expedition people seem to be talking about, I'm in it! Out of the 200+ people that've joined, I was one of the early ones! #38 to be exact, I think. And wow, what a first experience! If you haven't join in yet, and really enjoy exploration, god forbid please join me & the others with space madness who've decided to leave the "safety" of the bubble in search of all things west!
Where should I start? Ah yea, the start! Mass Jumps; never been in one myself. I've gotta admit, I don't know why I hadn't joined into one sooner! Everyone in The Fatherhood is honestly amazing, I don't think I've met a more chill community of galaxy surfers! And to think they're more than happy to put up with my nonesense.
I brought a Sidewinder to a mass jump; it also had NO SHEILDS!!!
Here are a few photos of the chaos that ensued:

Trust me when I say I felt rather small amongst all the Anacondas and Kraits.
Though nothing is better than heading to the Space Bar after driving around in your Space Car.

Kind of a shame there's no gravity on carriers, or I would definitely use my Spacebar...
Right, Fine. Enough of the terrible jokes, lets see where I managed to get myself!
Each week, The Fatherhood releases a Waypoint, and a couple of POI's for people to visit! I've decided to take some initiative and make some of my own points of interest.
First up on the list of places; The LBN 623 Nebula! I really don't have much to say about it, other than that it's purple!
Up next on my ToDO list was the one & only Veil Nebula West! Yknow, I never thought blue & pink could go so well together!
What's next? Oh- right. this random black hole I found! Nothing particularly special about this one mind, but honestly don't they look cool!
Admitly, I took a little bit of a detour here. This photo is of the North America Nebula!
Ok, sure, this one may be a bit of a stretch to call a "detour", but can you blame me? It looks awesome! This is the BD+22 3878 system, also known as the Dumbbell Nebula!
(I acutally found this system due to an IRL photo, thanks twitter!)
Next up on the grill, or rather the log, is NGC 7822, also known as The Cupids Arrow Nebula! This star cluster can be seen for ages away, so its nice to see it up close for once!
Next up, and my personal favourite, is the Elephant's Trunk Sector KS-T c3-6 system! Might seem a bit random at first, but I'm gonna be real with you folks for a second; this photo is my new desktop background!
Second til last, but one of the nicest nebulas I've been in; system CSI+19-20201, or more commonly known as the Blue Flash Nebula! This is the first waypoint for LS3, and man does it look awesome!
And finally, I've saved you all the best til last. One of many stops on this massive expedition, and the final image I have to show you all today; Planet A 2 from the Sifi EW-W d1-3 system:
Looks familiar, yet so different. So rare, yet not unique. A visage of something we used to call home. But yet it's not home, is it? If not, then at least it's a good reminder of the things before, and the things still yet to come.
If you haven't fallen asleep yet, or have even made it to the bottom at all, I just wanted to say thanks! As a little bit of a writing challenge, or at least a challenge to stay somewhat consistant, I'm going to try to write one of these every week until the end of LS3! Emphasis on the word try. Cya then, folks!
