CMDR'S LOG: 15.12.3306 - 0:42 - Ogaimy VU-P d5-647ОReturning from the expedition, I did not even hope to find an Earth-like planet. But luck was on my side, and the jump to the next system pleasantly surprised me. After scanning, the on-board computer pleased me with the notification that a world suitable for colonization had been found. In addition, a pulsar was the anchor star in this system. A quick check of the databases showed that I was the first to visit this system, just think... not a single person has stepped here. I am the first. It is so mesmerizing and inspiring.
I already imagined my triumphant return to my home station Smith Exchange with might and main. As I go into a bar and shout: See! Even a simple pilot can make his dream come true and explore the universe! And you, all the miserable scum of the federation, are not capable of even the slightest effort and who live in constant fear of the unknown and will continue to rot in this provincial world.
And after that, the authorities will most likely put me in jail for a couple of days, but I think this performance will be the best moments in my life. Then they will write about me in local news reports, how an unknown pilot opened a new world. And after that, everyone will forget and continue to live in a box called a house.
The autopilot is directed to the first planet of the second star, I lean back in the pilot's seat and look with anticipation at the planet approaching me.
