station: Vizcaino Enterprise
On my way to Nganji , I feel more and more comfortable with Bianca. Landing is easier and interdictions aren't scary anymore. I prefer not to think how many pirate's days I have wasted between my jumps.
The journey became quite surprising when I received a distress signal from the 6th planet of the LHS 265 system. After approaching, I found a crash site with some cannsisters and 3 escape occupied escape pods. These pilots were lucky as hell cause I got enough cargo space to carry them in safety. However, I also accidentally scavenge their cargo. It didn't take me long to realize I was transporting narcotics... and a bunch of scoundrels. Moreover, the systems I had to go through weren't very huge fans of it this kind of commodities.

Once I silently arrived to Hermite Hangar in the LP 90-39 system, I finally got an odd but welcomed tip to get rid of my cargo. A mercenary gave me the coordinates of a planetary outpost in the LP 37-35 system. As he said "It's ruled by the worst bunch I've ever seen in this system, but if you make them happy, they pay well". I'm ready to take the risk.
After few jumps, and some more interdictions, I land in the outpost and quickly found an interesting offer. And I was even luckier than the pods users I carried around. The leader of the settlement, the Blue Boys, were actively looking for these guys... and the cargo they actually stole from them. It's really surprising to see how friendly criminals can be when you help them out.If selling narcotics isn't what I expected in my pilot career, it pays well. Well enough to finally fit Bianca with decent thrusters, some weapons... and particularly a Class A FSD. A good deal to accelerate my trip to Nganji.

After this unexpected adventure, and a more comfortable jump range, I head to Naganji with haste to finally settle somewhere. The stages of the route regularly caught my attention from lonely binary stars to systems with more rings than a jewelry. Runab, Celticassag, Lyncis Sector... I will remember them when I'll by willing (and ready) to mine in your rings one day.

After few hours, I reach Nganji, a quiet system bathing in the warm light of its red dwarf. I can't wait to explore every corner of it, but I need to land somewhere and take some rest. Now that I'm here, it's time to use my piloting skill for the benefit of someone else than me.
