Into the Black

Pilot's log, Entry 002Commander Trex-LN aboard the Nomadum Ad Aetheres
I decided to do the Headlines right from now on.
Well. I'm in the middle of nowhere, closing in on the Trojan Belt, roughly 25KLY out from Sol.
It's 7.13 in the am as of writing this, 0G sleep jolted me awake. Think I'll land on the next planet to get at least some sort of gravity and a few more hours sleep. Who's gonna complain I go to bed at like 8 again? My FSD?
Anyway. Last time I wrote I'll check out Serene Harbour and I did. Left around 10 hours before the campaign in Mudhrid ended but by the time it ended I was already outside the bubble.
But to start from the top, I left Mudhrid and switched out ships in Shinrarta and headed for Serene Harbour.
That place is creepy man. It's got a real eerie atmosphere. I've seen quite a few abandoned places, the Adamastor, Gregory's Rest just to name a few. But none gave me the creeps like that place. I'd say it's the quiet that makes it so eerie, but it's space. It's always quiet.
Honestly tho the quiet there is special. It feels heavy and when you read the logs it gets all the heavier.
I don't like Imperials all that much, for obvious reasons and ones that take fun (or pride) in torturing even less but the end of De Luca leaves me sick in my stomach. Not gonna say he didn't deserve it but it still makes me feel unwell, these guys are cold.
After that I decided I'll need a time out from all this bubble madness again. I feel like half the bubble has descended into madness and the other half cheers them on like they are a bunch of animals throwing shit at each other. Headed for Sol next to grab supplies and some old world junk.
I really like all this scrap 'n crap. Old books that look like they'll fall apart if you look at them harshly, weird electronics and I think they're called cassettes and CD's?
Whatever. Left Sol and went on my way into the black, think I'll head for the Mare Somnia, the sea of dreams. Still got ways to go but space looks different out here, mean by now Colonia is closer than the bubble and I'm 16KLY east of the galactic centre. Speaking of which, never been there, maybe I'll check it out on the way back? Eh I'll decided that when it's time for it.
Plan for now is Trojan Belt -> Mare Somnia -> Beagle Point for now.
Well that's quite the journey and by now it's 8.20 got a bit distracted while writing this. Next time I'll probably have already rifled through most of the old world stuff I took with me as entertainment so maybe there's something interesting in there.
Landed already, engines powering down, oh sweet gravity hold on to me.
Finally I can get some sweet gravitational sleep. It's only 0.72G so not the real deal but better than nothing.
Gonna shut everything down and head to bed, except life support of course.
Signing off.
