The Colonia Letters #5
23 Mar 2024Kira Eyre
Dear Lhorndra,I did something stupid. I landed over-tired and without shields. There was a lot of crackling and creaking, and now my hull is down to 95%. I don’t think the damage will increase over time, but I don’t have that much experience with this. It is annoying.
The Hauler’s fuel tank is so damn tiny! Even while supercruising within a system, I have to keep an eye on my fuel supply. That’s why I usually switch off my shields to save every bit of fuel I can. Well, and today I just forgot to switch them back on. I didn’t even want to explore this stupid moon, I just wanted to sleep with a little bit of gravity.
Anyway, I’ve now completely crossed the Temple region. I’m in an unremarkable nebula within the Bya Phlai sector. For the love of space, who named these things?
Tomorrow I will finally be travelling to Colonia on a straight line. Well, more or less, depending on the cosy neutron stars on the way.
Yours,
Kira
