Breaking up the monotony...

After many, MANY cargo runs between Ceos and Sothis Mining, I needed a break. So, I still had a bounty in my onboard computer that needed to be turned in, but the location was clear across the Bubble. I had been using TGF Star Explorer for the cargo runs, but TGF Notorious was also at Ceos, and Notorious had a better engine/weight ratio. In other words, it'd take me half the time to get there than taking Star Explorer. So, I docked Star Explorer and fired up the engines on Notorious. After several jumps, I arrived and docked. I located the office for turning in the bounty and received a long overdue reward. Glad to finally have THAT off my computer. So, as I was charting a path back to Ceos, I noticed that Alpha Centari was fairly close, and I'd never been to Hutton Orbital. What the hell...lol. I set course and headed out. After arriving in the Alpha Centari system, I started the long, LONG journey to the station. Even with Notorious, it took 50 minutes at top speed to get there. The paint on Notorious showed the trip, too. I'd never seen the ship so skinned up...lol. Nothing a little paint job can't fix. While there, I picked up the Hutton Mug as a momento of the trip. I spend the night and, after a bit of rest, I set course for Ceos. Now, I'm back in Star Explorer and ready to start the cargo run again. But, this time, I'm enjoying some Any Na coffee from my new Hutton Mug.
