Into the Black VII

Personal Log, Galactic date 2.1.2208After spending a couple weeks in the heart of the NGC 3199 Nebula, recovering from my Space Flu, I needed to get back to my trip across the galaxy to Beagle point. I decided, however, not to take the long route around the outer edge of the Galactic Disk and make a more direct route, heading toward the core systems.
On a whim, once I got as far as the Norma Arm I decided to start searching for Wolf-Rayet stars and Black Holes no one had bothered to go to before. Boy was that hard. Frequently checking on the Codex left me frustrated and puzzled how I could pass through so many unexplored systems, for hundreds of light years, only to arrive at my destination and have the Codex pop up a confirmation that someone else had already been there.
But eventually I found Phua Aurb AA-A G0, a small black hole system with a couple brown dwarf stars with ring and moon systems acting as planets for the primary. It was what I was looking for, no one had been there but me. It was also very anti climactic as it was a boring system. Ah well, such is the chances we take as explorers.
I finally took a detour to Explorer's Anchorage near Sagittarius A for some needed repairs. Though, I think I'll leave the paint job, or rather the lack of a paint job, alone for the time being. She looks a little rough, but I love her just the same.
But now it's time to get my butt moving again. More sights to see and nebula to explore. Onward to Beagle Point.
