Journey to Omega Nebula
07 Nov 2017Faarken
Deep SpaceGoddamn it's lonely out here. Usually at least have a fighter jock to keep me company but this is the first time I've been outside the bubble alone.
I swear I saw something move in a corner of the Duck's hold but there's nothing on board - I've scanned the ship 8 times, I know there's nothing. Going Space Shit Crazy is what the old timers would say - SSC. Got to keep occupied.
NGC 6357 seems to leer at me from over towards the core - starboard to my course. Even from this distance it looks malignant. I will go there one day but for now ...
Some would say that's more of the SSC talking - not even halfway through a trip already planning the next, but I say it's part of an explorers nature.
Focusing.
My course now takes me through some 300 ly's of un-scoopables but I am confident I can reach a scoopable on the other side with my current reserves.
God help me.
At least until the other side.
