Searching for Answers #17: New equipment
18 Jan 2021Patrick Bietruch
Got a new entry.So it turns out my dad gave me his Cobra MkIII because he needed a new ship himself to build this mysterious machine. After acquiring new vehicles, they planned to start collecting materials, then move everything to the construction site and start construction work.
I recently wrote about taking my father's Cobra MkIII to a local technology broker. It turned out that he managed to recover some of the notes from the system, but not much. Mostly insignificant entries that did not provide much light on the matter. It's a pity because I really hoped to dig something up. My father made sure I didn't go looking for him, but I won't give up that easily.
Last time my father wrote that in order to get back into action, he must first get a grip of himself. He also described the preparation plan for the construction of the "Magellan Project". He also wrote that a system named "Andlit" is his new home. I probably should go there to look around for any clues..

Entry #177
August 11 Year 3286
Ship designation: Cobra MkIII Class Vessel - ID: "OR-10N"
Galactic coordinates: -99.15625 / 14.1875 / 6.53125
System name: Andlit
We have got new equipment almost ready and I must admit that I have already forgotten what it feels like to buy a new ship. My good old Cobra MkIII has served me very well over the years, but all good things must come to an end. The ship itself will not end however, I already have a plan of what to do with it.
I wonder how much time am I going to need to get used to the Anaconda. The ship is a lot different from the Cobra. Volt will be piloting the Python from now on, Axe is going to be flying in the Fer-De-Lance and Monarch's choice is the Imperial Eagle. We have yet to finish tuning them, Xavier is working on them right now.
