NYND 3308: Entry 3

13:42:Thanks to a fellow explorer i was informed of a system that has a planet with some rare life on it, it is a large detour considering i need to go away from the next waypoint then turn around to go back to it, but i believe it will be worth it, both because of the value of it, the value of the systems i find on the way, and the experience of seeing it. Although i am concerned because i only have a few more days to get to the next waypoint and i'm still around 10kly away from it.
13:59:
So i just found a system with 3 notable stellar phenomenas, something strange is that whoever was in this system first used their discovery scanner as the stars are labeled with their name, but not their full system scanner, so i have no clue if i am the first to discover these phoenomena or not.
I'm traveling to them to scan them and see what they have. I hope that they are different than the ones i visted the other day...
14:06:
Arriving at the first one i am told it is a proto Lagrange cloud... flying up to one of the crystal like structures i see and scanning it reveals that the first of the 2 types of crystals is the same as the ones i found last time but just a different color. Flying up to the second one reveals, the same thing, different color same crystal. a little bit more flying around confirms that there is nothing else unique here...
14:22:
The second phoenomena appears to be inside of planetary rings, aproaching the signal now...
14:24:
This appears to be a small cluser of albulum gourd molluscs. my codex informs me that these are technically animals although they use a similar process to photosynthesis to absorb starlight, strange...
14:31:
Arriving at the 3rd signal source it looks almost identical to the first one, it has the same red crystals but none of the green ones that were at the first signal. I spent a bit more time searching around the moved on...
15:23:
My navigation computer has put me in the path of several neutron stars, this will greatly speed up travel time but it is still around 60 jumps to the destination...
15:32:
The system i'm in currently appears to have a planet with one species of life. i think i'll check it out, i know i'm short on time but after a while jumping gets boring, 'tis the life of an explorer...
13:35:
Approaching the planet i see a crater that looks like a good landing spot, the argon atmosphere makes the planet glow as i approach.

"i'm on foot now, going to wander for a bit until i find some life, the scanners showed fonticula scattered around the crater. My computer also tells me that this is first footfall so yay me..."
15:43
"i found the first sample of the day, its smaller than the ones around it. Genetic sampler is telling me it is Fonticula Campestris Emerald..."
15:48:
"I'm far enough away now that my ship automatically dissmissed, i'll have to call it back later..."
15:53:
"i've aquired the last sample of the Fonticula, calling back my ship and boarding now."

This log is a little bit shorter than the normal ones but for today it was just uneventful travel i've had enough of flying for today, i've done around 50-60 jumps i need to get to my waypoint, i will get there tomorrow. CMDR Bampeanut signing off.
