CMDR PAUSANIAS - THE SHIP OF THE MIND EXPEDITION - DAY 103
20 Nov 2020Pausanias
Hi Cmdrs,Look what I woke up to this today!
I got up today with just 4 jumps to the next O Class system I’m aiming for, and when I got there, that was all that was there! A lone star, no planets, nothing else, nada!
The Carl Sagan was there so I went to it and handed in 9,000,000 in scan data and set up the next Carrier jump sequence aiming for the next O Class system I’ve seen, 8 jumps to do in the Asp.
I reached the Carrier and handed in another 9,000,000 and this left just one further jump to another O Class. I left the Carrier where it was and made that extra jump. This time there was more to scan, but again, someone else had already been there. They’d only scanned the system, I decided to MAP it all.
First one was this Metal Rich Body close to the entry point . . .
I then went over to this B Class Star, just because it was near and looked brilliant . . .
After that I had to fly tens of thousands of light seconds out to the next interesting object, this ‘brain planet’, well at least I think it looks like a brain. So next time someone makes the comment ‘a brain the size of a planet (Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, Marvin), you’ve actually seen one now!
I’ve gone into orbit around this Metal Rich Planet for the night as there is nowhere to land in this system. Nice looking planet, me thinks. I’m sure that’s a volcano down there, best stay away from that area.
Total Ship jump distance so far: 75,414
Total planets Level 3 scanned: 28,300
Total exploration data: 750,500,000 credits
Total systems with my name on: 3621
My Ship is now 35,613 ltyrs away from Sol!
Distance to Beagle Point: 39,366 ltyrs
Onwards to the next point of interest . . .
