At the detention facility, Bolhoder finally decides to pay his 80,000 CR fine.
The system authority processes his payment.
"Alright. Payment processed. You're free to leave."
Bolhoder packs his things and leaves the detention facility.
"Ah, finally I'm out of that crazy asylum."
2 Hours Later, Bolhoder is en route to Maia.

Well, ever since I got out of that detention facility, I've had this strange, but very strong urge to go to Maia, and encounter a Thargoid. I don't know why, but I just ignored it... kinda.
Yeah, I'm at Maia...
Arriving at Darnielle's Progress, it seemed off, more green... I've never seen Maia like this before, Maia usually has a celestial body of a light aqua blue. After restocking at Darnielle's Progress, I undock and set course to a non-human signal source. On my way there, I was tethered by a system authority, warning me to submit to an interdiction.
...
I evaded it.
Evading an authority interdiction is probably one of the worrisome experiences I've ever had so far. Ever since I evaded that interdiction, I always think to myself: "Am I wanted?" "Are they going to hunt me down?" "Should I leave Maia?".
As I try my best to avoid those thoughts, next thing I know, I'm at the non-human signal source. In front of my eyes, are three Thargoid cyclops ships. I dethrottle my thrusters, as to not startle them, and get myself killed. As they finish their scan, growling can be heard from all three ships. Two of the three jump out using an unknown anomaly, some sort of wake. The last cyclops was finishing the job, by retrieving items that seem to have a value to the Thargoid species. There were meta-alloys, Guardian materials, and more exotic cargo. I decided to move closer to the items, and before I know it, the Thargoid has its swarm ready to attack. I back away slowly, to inform the alien ship that my intention was to not retrieve, but observe. Retrieving its swarm, it boosts away, materializing an anomaly, jumping out of witch space.
One of the more interesting experiences I've had.
