214 jumps towards nearest DSSA, a safe haven in the endless dark void
I recall what drives me to take this path of mine. Back then, I'm only a merchant, seasoned-miner at its best, trading between systems in a pursue of capital. At some point, I read through an archive of a once famed journey, a search for distant worlds. Suddenly, I remember a story my great-great-grandfather that lives on old Earth, A Story where people once sit under the shines of thousand stars, wandering and dreaming of when we walked upon those jewel scattered in the dark endless sky. A dream of what our ancestor shares and believes that someday might happen. And now here we are travelling between stars in a mere second and a blink of an eye. A dream achieved, yet far from fulfilled. As technological advancement growth, we are losing direction, a direction to become human. Conflicts, Intrigues, War, and so on. Humanities learned nothing and taunted in historic repetition of greed and pompous act. We are become even more "machine' with every step taken. Hence, here I am wandering the void to find a purpose of what we really are.
I place my hand on the throttle, dragging the thruster onwards to engage my jump sequence.
