I have left Hell Port stocked with liquor and snacks that I want to eat and drink with members of Outer Limits operation. I have 115 jumps to go, I hope everything goes well.
*30 jumps later*
Juuump.. Scan.. Fuel Scoop.. System map.. Repeat.. Sigh. Life of neverending boredom and repetetivenes, such might be a life of an explorer. I have noticed that a bright dot in the middle of witch space begins to grow - I must be near exit now. Bwooom. And I really was near exit, exit to heavens gate even.
In the middle of manouvering to avoid the star my flight controls have malfunctioned and I began to accelerate at full speed towards a star. Suddenly my ship exited super cruise in emergency due to overheating - 60% and rising! I was so happy that one of the first things I bought was four heat sink deployers. I popped one immidietely and managed to stop my ship by panicly pressing every button and pulling my HOTAS in all directions. After full reboot everything worked just fine and I could leave near orbit of this star. Boy - that was intense, propably worst 30 seconds of my life.
I went to sleep after this accident because I learned that flying drunk to keep the pace is dumb. Next day, on the same rout to Station X I managed to find four fully unexplored Water Worlds! Three of them were in one system!
I finally arrived at Station X it was 8AM Earth time and all I could think of was a comfy bed in 0.5g sphere at the station - man I love this gravity. By the time I am writing it 3304 has arrived. I hope that this year will be eventful for me, my new company and for humanity. Show the Xenos how we fight guys! And most importantly, happy new year commanders!
When I am so far from Sol, exacly 7005LY from it I can really understand what did our operation leader mean when I was reading his logs. When you look in this dark abyss you really feel like something is watching you. You can feel it but most certainly do not see it. Maybe this is all the monsters we are afraid of? You know, those kind of monsters we all hide in the deepest chambers of our own hearths and souls. Monsters like anxiety and depression. When you are so far out you really can feel them looking at you just like this dark abyss we are floating in.
Huh.. Humans are really like stars, you know? They can shine and brighten your life like nothing else in the whole universe and at the same moment, they can just swallow you whole and burn to death. Sometimes you manage it out, but changed. Every interaction with human being and a star can really change ones mind.
