System HIP 100967 on planet A2 –Sucharitkul Reach
07 Dec 3308
As the Thargoid's ravage their way closer to my home station, I find myself holding my breath every time I jump. I'm not set up to defend against a Xeno attack. Not even close.
My data mining mission over in HIP 12099 was cut short due to mechanical failures that necessitated a week long dry dock at Diaguandri while the technicians from Lakon tried to figure out the problem. I was left scratching my ears and drowning my impatience over at the station bar. It wasn't a total loss though. I overheard two guys talking about Vista Genomics paying a boat load of cash for genetic sample data. I'm not one to turn down a quick buck, so I resolved to try the trade out and see what all the fuss was about.
I figured worst comes to worst, I would be a fool to listen to the rumors flying between two drunk freighter pilots, but I swear on Jameson's corpse, those two dodgy old jockeys had this one right. I got a cool 163 million for ten scans, and I got to visit some pretty beautiful planets while I was out on the run.
The cash will sure come in necessary if I need to kit out and defend myself, which is looking more and more likely. I'm just scared to death is all.
