Solitude

Sometimes you just need to get away from it all.This is what I thought when I boarded my fleet carrier a couple of months ago. Not that this was a spur of the moment decision, or something that I did in haste.
There was indeed plenty of planning involved.
I had grown weary.... weary of the power struggles, and the Thargoid incursions. Weary of the constant strife that any large population of Humans bring. So I formulated a plan.
First thing I needed was enough Tritium to go far, far from the bubble. So I jumped to Robigo to procure the necessary funds.
Once this was accomplished, I filled the old Chernyakova to the brim with Tritium reserves, settled my affairs and jumped.....
I jumped far and I jumped fast.,out to see the wonders that our galaxy holds.
My first destination was an obvious one. I traveled to the heart of creation, the glue that holds us all Sagittarius A*.
I had traveled here before, but needed to return. The majesty of this place always fills me with the inspiration and wanderlust I needed to decide where to next.
There was only one choice in my mind, the one place I had never been, the one place few go due to the sheer remoteness. Beagle Point.
I realized however It would be too much of a distraction to travel there in my Carrier... I realized I looked for solitude.
I spent the next week jumping the Chernyakova to Colonia.
Once Arrived I filled with necessary supplies and boarded my trusty Anaconda "Bad Penny".
This ship always held a special place in my heart, she was my first long distance voyager, my faithful companion before all the wealth and achievement.
I said goodby to my carrier and crew and left them in a parking orbit at Colonia.
As I write this I have been jumping for a little over two weeks. I have lost track of the wonders that Ive seen and the systems that Ive mapped. I am currently at Swuenoe EL-H b16-1. By my calculations I have a few more days of jumps to reach my goal... that furthest of the far.
