Shaking the Rust Off
26 Feb 2023Davinci X
Three days, 77 jumps, and 2,632 light years later, and I've shaken off two years of rust from mine and Vela Errante's bones. Most of the systems I've come across already have been discovered and scanned by others, but that is to be expected in this section of the Inner Orion Spur of the galaxy... even this far out. I've come across some interesting systems, though, and quite a number of the celestial bodies have yet to be mapped.
One particularly interesting Synuefai system with 50 bodies despite having no ELWs, ammonia or water worlds. Found a high metal content world with a ring system and small rocky moon along with a number of gas giants, a couple with water-based life and another with ammonia-based organisms.
Over two dozen of the objects are landable; so, I took the opportunity and let Vela take a respite on a couple of smaller moons, a ball of ice and a rock, to investigate some non-human signals and some human distress beacons. Perhaps this is the aftermath of a battle from long ago or it could be recent. Not sure as the computer is still crunching on the data.
I'm going to R&R for a bit, and then head out to finishing mapping the system before heading off again. As much as I would like to stay out here and explore away, I need to stay focused on getting back to The Bubble.
