Tedious Day
02 Feb 2016Ozmundo Vasqualez
It wasn't enough that the Phiagre bulletin boards were bereft of useful missions. The day had to get worse.I took the one available, relatively low-earning mission for Phiagre Industry, serving a greater cause. Those poor beggars don't know that their end is close and that the full might of Ghost Squadron will soon be openly turned against them.
The mission was a straight delivery to a system a few jumps away but when I arrived, I realised that my current lack of a scanner in the Python and the inability to buy any system data was a real handicap. I hopped over to a nearby retailer I know, purchased a scanner and returned to my surface delivery location. My mistake was taking too shallow an approach, sucking up my precious time as I waited for the tedious terrain to trundle underneath me. I had just dropped out of glide and got to within 20-odd KM of the base when all hell broke loose. Microsoft .Net v1250 had interrupted the main systems with an available upgrade and suddenly all systems crashed.
My shortening time had just run out.
