Back in the saddle again...

It's just been over 2 years since I last logged an entry... 2 years since I headed off into The Black in the Vela Errante to explore beyond The Core, to see what is out there. To find answers in the Formidine Rift and Syreadiae JX-F c0. I had no idea I would return into "trouble" in the HIP system just a few days in. The strange ship came interdicted me from out of nowhere. I was able to get away but had to do sit down on a rock to make repairs. Was it a Thargoid? A pirate or raider in a heavily modified ship? And how in the hell did it or whoever "they" were know I was out here?Setting down on a rock to make repairs, the medical diagnostic computer detected a strange bacterium in my system and my health began to rapidly decline. Fortunately, the escape cyropod allowed me to heal, but two frakking years! Looking into the mirror, I resemble a red-headed vampire waking from a 2-century sleep who needs a bite... to eat. At least the AFMs have made the repairs while I slumbered away in cryo dream land.
As I go through the systems checks and prepare to lift off, to say I have an uneasy fear is a gross understatement but as I catch up on the GalNet, it is time for me to stop dwelling on that... with this new aggression focused on humanity from the Thargoids... not that this second war with these insects ever ended, but this escalation is troublesome. I have to get my head out of arse and make a decision... Do I return to the Core Systems to help or do I continue on to Syreadiae JX-F c0?
With the Thargoids devastating the Witch Head Enclave and pushing deeper into The Core systems from those drasted darn Maelstroms, what is to become of us as a species and are they just reclaiming what they perceive as their territory? Who knows how much of the galaxy the Thargoids lay claim to. Hell, they might just call every star, planet, rock and piece of dust theirs and look at us as nothing more than roaches to... well, you know.
As much as I need answers, time to head back to The Bubble and then see what's next.
