Tarrant's Log # 23

I came to, sat on the pad at LHS 3447!I'm still sat in the Sidewinder, I can tell by the smell. I check the galactic map and it's actually worked. Iv;e just jumped 22,000 LY and am back in the bubble. Once I power everything up, I don't hang around, plotting a course for Diaguandri. It's going to take a few jumps....not what I'm used to.
Time to go pick up the Witch Queen I think.
I launch the Sidewinder and begin making the short jumps for Diaguandri, hoping for no pirates. I'm just not equipped for it. Whilst on the journey, I'm trying to work out what just happened. Is it possible that the destruction of the ship triggered a wormhole? But if so, why was I not blown to pieces. Could the temporal flux have shifted the ship through the wormhole, away from the actual blast at the moment of detonation..? (Ancient Astronaut Theorists probably say Yes!)
As I eventually approach Ray Gateway at Diaguandri, I am still no closer to an answer.
Once docked I make my way to my hanger bays, checking in on the fleet I have stored. I note that the Witch's Promise is sporting her new livery as per my instruction before I left a couple of weeks ago. Nice.
Then its a welcome return to my flagship. I spend the next 24 hours re-fitting the Witch Queen for the return journey to Jaques, and then launch swinging round via Deciat to pay a visit to Farseer Inc for some much needed upgrades before departing once again to start the long 22,000ly trip back toward my new home.
I'm carrying heavy weapons this time as, since Jaques isn't set up for that type of upgrade yet, I thought that it is better to come prepared....just in case.
The upgrades that Felicty arranged are to my satisfaction, and should hopefully make the return journey that much quicker. Then I want to have a word with Tramp. if he's still hanging around Jaques when I get there.
