Into the Black
29 Dec 2021SirPuma
Personal log, Galactic date 12.28.3307Well, I'm finally ready. At least as ready as I can be. I'm loaded up on all the raw materials I'll need to boost my fuel for longer jump range. Reduced as much weight as I can get away with and not be flying an aluminum foil pan. Maintenance is done, a fresh coat of paint and she's fueled up. The Golden Hind is once again ready to head out into the black and see what the galaxy has to offer.
I've got meager fleet locked up in Jameson Memorial and the auto cleaning bots will dust them off once a month. The apartment is tidied up with dust cloths covering the furniture up. Dropped the cat off with a neighbor girl. Fridge and freezer are defrosted and turned off and the lights are out.
First I'm headed to the Formidine Rift. There's some nebulae I wish to see. Then it's the long trek around the right side of the galactic disk and out to Beagle Point. This is going to be a long trip. Longer than my three or four trips out to Colonia and back. So I'll put some energy drinks in the mini fridge next to my bunk, put some coffee on to brew, take a deep breath and crank up the FSD.
So long Bubble, Hello Deep Space.
