BIOLOGICAL SIGNAL WITH A TWIST & A BLACK HOLEHi Cmdrs,
Today I sent The Carrier on ahead and switched to the Jumpaconda to visit another Wolf Rayet in the Thuecheae area, another dud! I shall keep trying though.
I arrived at The Carrier system just as The Carl Sagan arrived there so that was good timing. I handed in 1,000,000 credits.
Having reset The Carriers route I set off in the Asp.
After just two jumps I found a system with a Biological Signal site, something that has been scarce since leaving Beagle Point. I went to investigate finding these Water Fumaroles with Crystalline Shards mingled between in a close knit area.
I’ve shot some video too as there was an eerie noise emanating from the shards and, more importantly, this video shows the sun going down over the area, you can see the terminator moving across the moon and shrouding the whole area in darkness over time.
Upon reaching the Carrier I handed in 8,000,000 credits and then changed to the Jumpaconda again to check out a possible Black Hole I’ve found in the current region. I set The Carrier off in the direction I’m supposed to be going and went the other way in the Anaconda.
After just 8 jumps I arrived and took this image of the Galaxy being distorted through the Black Hole, which had ready been discovered by the way.
I’ve then returned to The Carl Sagan for the night handing in another 3,000,000 credits.
