December?

The last thing I remember, I was sitting near The Great Annihilator drinking that damn-ed cocktail. Bubble-boys will sip it in stages, but true explorers have the forearm strength from dicing with black holes to dislodge the Evil Juice from the bottom and down it in one.That still doesn't prepare one's body for the onslaught, however. The fact I hadn't drunk in over a month surely didn't help, either. Let me explain something: I pour Japanese, which is to say twice the Galactic Standard Measure, which itself derives from the old American size pour. My whiskey glass was so full I had to drink it Dutch so as not to miss the 'head in the froth.
Well, I've managed to make it almost out the core. I'm a thousand light years from Greae, and I've got no idea what route I took to get here, or what sights I saw. It might come back to me when I sell my exploration logs, but for now I'm going to meat pick worlds on the way home. I've scanned every scrap of metal on my route out the core, and I'd like to get back at some point this lifetime.
Sheng, the mechanic from San Wu, happened to message me. He said there's going to be some new modifications we can make to my Cobra when I get back. He also said there's going to be a new Cobra, but that it's nothing on the classic design. Plus, I hear there's a new strain of Onionhead out, and I'm sure I could do with trying it out on this new cocktail I've made...
So I guess instead of liquidating this craft as my Master assumed would be necessary, I'll just re-fit it. Then maybe I'll be able to show off my new decals at Obsidian Orbital. They had just started the contract the same cycle I started the GIMPP, it'll be interesting to see if I make it back before or after its construction...
