New Year, Familiar Danger
31 Dec 2020Shattermage
CMDRs Log, Dec 31 3306:We've made it to the peak with no issue and have begun offloading the spirits from the carrier to the outpost. The view is incredible! We did pass a couple planets with Tritium hotspots in their rings for future reference, though Ximena's planning has proven more than sufficient to bother worrying about.
Unfortunately, when we were approximately 3 jumps from the top, we received word via GalNet that the Thargoids had begun a full scale assault on human establishments in the Coalsack and the Witch Head Nebula just as we had departed TZ Arietis! I have informed XO Mercer of our intentt to assist with the evacuation and resistance efforts once we return, and have ordered everyone on board to enjoy the New Year celebrations either on board the Dark or at Rackham's while they can as I now plan to depart for the Bubble slightly earlier than planned.
