CMDR PAUSANIAS - THE SHIP OF THE MIND EXPEDITION - DAY 148

EARTHLIKE, BLACK HOLE & 2 BILLION CREDITS MARK PASSEDHi Cmdrs,
When I started today Shen was already out mining so I sorted the Asp out and set off to a new waypoint on the route to Colonia I’ve chosen and started looking for somewhere else to mine. We are going to keep moving and mining until we reach Colonia.
Two jumps out and I found this Earthlike, my thirteenth on this expedition. No lights on the dark side again.
I dropped into a system that Shen was already in and whilst he moved on I scanned three planets that were 172,000 light seconds out!
Shen then found a system with a Tritium hotspot and I moved The Carl Sagan there. When I arrived at The Carrier I handed in 8,000,000 credits. I swapped to the Cutter, filled up with Limpets and went off to find Shen.
I mined 380 tons and handed it in to The Carrier, Shen handed what he’d done in too. I then moved The Carl Sagan again with Shen on it. I went off to check out another Black Hole in the Jumpaconda which was 17 jumps away.
The Black Hole had already been discovered, again. Here you can see me leaving the it behind.
Whilst I was away doing this Shen found another Tritium hotspot so I moved The Carrier to his position and changed my direction to meet him there handing in 3,500,000 credits upon my return.
We’ve then both mined with Shen obtaining about 70 tons and I managed about 80 before we’d both had enough for the day. We returned to The Carrier handing in our spoils.
I’ve set The Carl Sagan moving again and then we’ve hit the bar!
I’ve surpassed the 2 billion mark for earnings from scan data today too. A productive day on the whole.
