[BLACK] Prologue

It's getting cold, and the air in the ship is crisp. I can tell that my thrusters are off and so is my FSD, there isn't any vibration or humming, but I can hear this music, oddly it sounds...wait...is this even my ship? I try to look around but I can barely move, my muscles ache and it feels like I've been tossed around a Liner inside a neutron star cone.

Oh no... Where the hell are we? I can see Lori, my new experienced CMDR friend, laid out and I'm off in the back corner, a couple empty onionhead cannisters rolling their way into the top of my head. I move my arm now that I got the blood back into it and I try to get up, such a heroic effort to even do this... I use the wall and other things to support me on my way up to the cockpit. Yep - its my ship alright, but its not my T-6 by far. I guess I spent quite a little bit of that 300M+ credit mystery deposit already. I check my balance - wow, more like half of it; 116M left.

Cut the music down and checked the information panels, looks like I'm in BD-15 447, wherever the hell that is. Ah so this is an Asp Explorer. Well that's good, I wanted one. Apparently I named her Halsey. Looks like there's a station around, Good Enterprise. I cut the thrusters on and started charging the frame shift drive. Jettisoned the onionhead cannisters, aiming at the system star.

A low mumbling happens - oh right, Lori's in here. "Don't worry, I'm getting you some help, we'll be at a station soon" I assured.

We arrived at the station, no apparent troubles here, they easily granted docking permission. We're met with what looks like ground control but in different uniforms... "Your Anaconda's ready to go Miss, we got her nice and vibrant!" There it is. I knew I couldn't have dumped that much money in just this thing. "Right, uh thanks guys" I said, half-mindedly worrying about what paint job I chose if I wasn't thinking clearly at the time. So I make my way down the walkway to the data board to see where this new Anaconda is - aha, hangar 40. While Lori is resting, sitting up in my AspX, I go to my other hangar.



"Not too bad, not too bad" I assure myself, nodding in approval. Let's call her Ava Max.

I walk back up to where Lori is in Halsey, she looks like she's almost fully recovered. "Hey I have an idea!" Lori busted out with, "Now that Halsey's all shiny new and fully upgraded, let's go for some serious sightseeing!! Take a break from all that work and stress and learning more and more, and just get out there in the magical wonder that is the black!"

"Oh I'm down!" I spark back, eagerly climbing back into the ship and taking over the cockpit. "Let's gooooo!"
