Competent, Threat Level 4, Medical Test
18 Jul 2020Avelina Mortem
This morning I progressed to the Competent combat rank while fight scouts at a threat level 4 NHSS. Level 4 NHSS is a step up from level 3, my shields were taking a beating, but it's much more convenient than spending hours in the Full SPectrum Scanner searching for level 3s.It took longer than I thought to reach competent while fighting at NHSSs, and I think that's down to how long it takes finding level 3 sites. From now on I shall aim for both 3 and 4. Once I reach expert I'll hopefully get a new engineering invitation so I can enhance my ship armoring; it should give me more of a buffer for caustic damage. And of course, I want to continue my lightweight engineering, but achieving expert from fighting thargoids is my priority.
However, it is unlikely I'll make much progress today. I have to journey down to the surface for some medical tests. Having a genetic disorder that causes my body to try and destroy itself isn't fun. The blood tests are to make sure my medication dosage is correct... although you'd think humanity would have invented a less invasive way to draw blood by the 34th century. Wish me luck.
End Transmission.
