The Hunt for Pandora’s Box
07 Sep 2024Technotika
In my quest for affordable resources in the vast universe of Elite Dangerous, I stumbled upon a carrier named Pandora’s Box. It promised a lucrative deal: 109 tons of Bromellite at a bargain price.Piloting my trusty Anaconda, aptly named Liquid Soul, I embarked on this journey. After enduring 13 hyperspace jumps, I finally reached my destination. However, the carrier was located a staggering 130,000 light-seconds away from the star. My journey continued, and upon arrival, I was met with disappointment—the carrier had vanished.
Determined, I tracked it down two jumps away. When I finally docked and repaired my ship’s modules from the long voyage, I was dismayed to find that the prices for Bromellite had tripled. What seemed like a treasure trove turned out to be a bottomless pit.
Pandora’s Box, indeed, was nothing but a mirage in the endless expanse of space.
