On the Fence 600 ly NE of The Gnosis
02 Sep 2018Gosht
After I dropped the Canonn interview from a rock in the middle of nowhere I headed as far out towards the northern part of the fence as I could plot without hitting a locked system. With the thoughts of the interview and all the incoming data from Canonn, which included the fact the The Gnosis is one of the three Thargoid targets identified by Aegis this week. Great feeling that, being out in the void on the fence and probing for signs of Thargoids without even a xeno-scanner on board, never mind my shard canons, plasma launchers and remote flaks. But I did skip the station in a hurry after interviewing Doc DMehanny. Packed my drones and left, I say. So that hasty action found me waking up in another undiscovered systems more than 2000 ly from Earth wondering what my options were besides discovering new start systems. No big deal once you're this far out. You can even be picky. After reaching the Northernmost point I began making my way south along the fence. That worked out ok for a few hours until I got stuck in a T-Tauri star field that seemed endless so I turned around and jumped out. At that stage intelligence reports of Alien motherships with the capacity of a system wide FSD shut-down being discovered in the game code. I guess I faltered about then and tried plotting a course back to the bubble to get a warship, but that failed too. Oh I was pretty sure I could make it, but it was just the feeling of loneliness that was getting too me after all the social activities aboard The Gnosis in the previous weeks.
On the bright side I did receive a short communication from Doc Arcanonn, who, although refusing my initial attempt at an interview, did offer some other Canonn operatives as likely candidates so that's still to come. I have a plan that may entice him that involves sweet things, and Maurice, The Hive's chef aboard The Gnosis, is going to play along.
Making it back on board in the early hours, I went to sleep thinking about the fence and what lay in wait for us on the other side, happy I could afford the military upgrade for my hull if necessary and extremely glad that they had it for sale in outfitting.
Four more days to the jump!
