Journal Start
14 Aug 2021Rixses
Well, I decided to finally start a log of my time as a Commander for the Pilots Federation. I'm still amazed at how many of the shipboard systems don't automatically record so much of the reference data from scans and such. So this will be in part a log of interesting things I find and happenings along my journey, and part mental notes or musings that I might reflect upon one day. I've spent some time running out to some of the remote Guardian sites to get a look at what all of the commotion was about. I wasn't really prepared for the trip so I will have to arrange another expedition in order to explore more. For now I have some interesting scan data and I might have a lead on some Guardian technology components that might prove useful.
On my way back home from the trip I found several interesting planets and an odd mollusk or something floating in space. I scanned it at the time but it seems the location data was not stored in my on board computer. I'll have to see if I can make it back. There might be some profit from those...
Now that I'm back in the bubble I've had a chance to spend a little time with the wife. I miss her terribly when I'm out in the black. A few years back we bought a little plot on one of the Federation worlds near Sol. Was kind of lucky with that one. Everything is so expensive in that area now. We decided to remodel and now that I'm home some I'm getting roped into doing the work myself in the evenings.
Since I'm working on the house and can't get much time in deep space I've been doing tourist shuttles through the day for some quick cash. I should be able to buy some much needed upgrades to my ship soon. Maybe even another ship altogether.
