Commanders log : 4th June 3303.Commander Nyxa Lovell reporting.
All command codes and documentation have now been transferred to me. She's mine.
Well this old Asp Explorer really has surprised both the engineering crew and myself. We never expected her to hold up to such heavy engineering work.
When she was transferred to us, she was a wreck, pretty much written off. Originally christened "Blackbird" and abused beyond belief, I think nearly every single system was completely shot. Every one of them. From a blown FSD unit to food dispensers that looked to be growing a cure for something! We wont talk about the waste extraction!
I know the corporation wanted to do this on a budget, and yes I know we needed to do this on a low key, but man we had no idea what we had taken on. So we stripped her. Rebuilt her from the ground up, engineering new units where we could and "borrowing" others.
So, as designated Commander of this ship, now re-christened "Witchspace Explorer", I cant wait to see what she can do.
For her first real long distance flight we've picked a run out to the California Nebula [California Sector LX-T B3-0]. Its not an excessive journey and should allow us to fully test all of her new systems. I have real confidence in this bird, a confidence I've not felt in a long time, and I'm grateful to the corporation for picking me to command her.
Lets see what she's got.
