Commander Oxforth - Thursday, January 25, 3310Location: ¨HR 5451
Vessel: ASP Explorer - Hugin
Fleet Carrier: [Q2K-37G] GalVik - INNHERRED (OPTIONAL)
Mission Overview: Exobiology and Exploration
Commander's Log:
Today unfolded as a symphony of jumps through the cosmic overture. Hugin danced between systems, gracefully landing on planet surfaces where the SRV roamed, scanning the barren landscapes for signs of life. The routine tasks provided a canvas for reflection amid the celestial wonders that surround me.
I have kicked up dustclouds that reach the sky on barren desert planetoids baked in starlight so bright it made the sand glow. Yet, the atmosphere was so thin it failed to veil the cosmic mosaic of twinkling stars. In one such systems, the planets orbiting one of the twin stars aligned in such a way that they appeared as pearls on a thread in the sky.
Some planets I visited orbited brown dwarfs whose reddish or purple light gave the rocky canyons I traversed an eerie yet romantic feel.
Data collected from these ventures has been converted into a healthy sum of credits. Back at the GalVik-INNHERRED, I find myself at a crossroads, contemplating the choices for tomorrow. The lure of mining Tritium beckons, and while the specific location remains undecided, I'm intrigued by a Tritium mining hotspot bookmarked by Commander Skandragon. A venture into the depths of these stellar bodies promises both profit and discovery.
As I weigh my options, the hum of the Fleet Carrier around me resonates with the pulse of possibilities. The galaxy awaits, and each decision shapes the course of our journey. Tomorrow holds the promise of new horizons, and I am ready to embrace the unknown.
