Exploration Log: Entry 2 Interesting sites at Takurua

Takurua has been... Interesting.After getting rid of my gold at Foothold Orbital, I decided exchange my Viper Mk III for a Viper Mk IV.
The lack of OVERWHELMING firepower on both ships is still a problem needing to be addressed. However, Viper Mk IV's significantly boosted core/optional internal slots are much suited for me as an explorer/trader.
Thicker hull doesn't hurt either.
Right now, all I needed is to get to Sothis as quick as possible and fit a surface scanner on my ship. An explorer without a working surface scanner is only getting half of the fun out of what this galaxy has to offer.
Speaking of exploring, I found an "Unregistered Comms Signal" at Takumura 3. Source of this signal came from a single satellite orbiting around that planet, both the satellite and the planet seemed quite unexceptional.
Didn't understand what those random gibberish it emitted though. But it did reminds me of "Numbers Station" back when humanity was still in its cradle and Earth an chaotic wasteland.
Maybe the Sirius Corporation is up to no good?
Who knows. That's a mystery for another day. Right now, I need to hit the bunk. It's been quite a long day.
...Oh yeah, I need to clean myself and my flight suit up first. According to the customs officer, I smell like "rancid mop submerged in a jug of cleaning chemical."
Rude.
