I've been in flight for about a week, now, give or take. It's been an interesting experience. Seen some things I hadn't expected to. I don't mean terraformable worlds, mind - the galaxy, even just this desolate little armpit of it, has no shortage of places to live (and this gives one a certain... perspective... on the current conflicts.) No, I mean more like these: Crystals in space.
They're quite the thing to see; scientifically, interesting, even if not exactly the sort of vista I was hoping for. I took my scans and moved on. I had places to go.
The goalpost.
So here I sit, over 5k from Sol; I've been here for a day or so, now, just... breathing. I have to go home, of course, though I regret the obligation; I have things to do, though, and they're not getting done out here in the black. Besides, someone's going to buy this exploration data. I've gotten a fair bit of it, after all. Next time, though? Next time, fuck the goalpost. I'm going to wander. That's why I came out here, after all, right?
