The Story So Far. (log entry 1)
20 Jun 2021Davrum
Greetings Commanders:My personal log to this date is empty. I have found in the past that my ships computers and the Pilots Federation have kept all the logs I or anyone else needs to document my enterprises. Now however, I feel compelled to put a personal touch to the auto logs and spreadsheets.
The Pilots Federation has recently granted me the rank of Elite in exploration upon my meandering trip to Colonia and back coupled with some contract work in the tourism industry. My path through the uncharted black was enlightening and has left me with a desire to return to its depths. Destiny (My Diamondback Explorer) served me well and has earned a rest and a series of much needed upgrades. I've been told to speak with Felicity Farseer first so I will begin there and see where it takes me.
In the meantime the Sirius Corporation has made a call to commanders to bolster it's supply to aid in the creation of a new and very much improved detailed surface scanner. This will fit nicely into my plans for retrofit and the pay is solid so for now I move widgets and doodads with my eye on the prize. This has been a journey of discovery as well. I found Trinity (My Type 6 Transporter) However reliable she might be to come up a little short in her capacity. Temperance (My Type 7) May get renamed Temperamental for I spend more time managing her hot headedness then moving cargo. I've parked her for now and am currently tinkering with Katherine (My Mark II Krait) and a newly acquired Python who has not yet been named. I'm not a fan of how Katherine sounds but I can not deny her abilities. I really need to stop spending my credits and focus again on the Sirius Corporation contracts.
I have also been out in the rings hunting platinum Trinity and Caroline (My Mark III Cobra) Have both served me well in my Dabbling there but Katherine may get outfitted for that task next.
For now my home is in The Ehecatl system at Hackworth Orbital but I feel as though I've outgrown her. My new Elite status gives me access to so much more but I may not yet have the conviction to pull the trigger on that move. Perhaps I'll always maintain a presence there. Maybe it's a good place to cut my teeth on bounty hunting. Victoria and Elizabeth sit idle and I can feel them growing restless.
I also feel a tug. Strings pulling, The cradle of humanity itself. The federation holds the keys to that door. The mother is calling for her child to return.
