It's been a while since I wrote something in this kind of journal. In fact I don't know if I could even call it like that, having been used not as much as it was created for... anyway, I'm using it right now.
Since my last entry, I wandered in the black for some weeks, exploring the region laying on the north-east side of Sagittarius A*. I wasn't disappointed: I looked for lonely and unexplored systems and I got them. Plenty of them. I found some interesting planets too, as well as new form of life that I never saw anywhere (although my CODEX already had them in their database; I got some examples anyways for personal reference). I had planned to explore more, having founded a mostly unvisited region between the inner arm and the Scorpio one (if I'm not wrong, I hope), but I got tired of doing always the same jumping, scanning and planning in the galactic map. Exploration got me bored pretty fast this time. I don't know why honestly...
Maybe it's because I got to know a couples of new commanders through the long range communication system and felt the need to meet and greet people in person again. Yeah, this could be the motive. Thinking about this in deep, he's one of them in particular that maybe started in me this "need", this feeling of human contact. He seems so nice on the comms and I talked with him for quite some time during my alone flights in the black. To be honest, he seems pretty unexperienced on being a commander and I think he got his Pilot Federation's permit not much ago. Not that this "scare" me. I always found myself interested in helping newly issued commanders to find their way into this savage and overwhelming Galaxy. So maybe this "feeling" that I have pushed me into traveling back into the Bubble to met them and especially him...
About this: I got lucky and I found a ride on a carrier leaving the Colonia Region headed back to the Bubble. I hitched it right in time for the departure and I'm now on my simple cabin aboard the vessel waiting to arrive in a system that I can't remember the name now... I never used this kind of line-service and I must say that for now I quite enjoyed it, not having to navigate and pilot my ship, just being able to hanging at the Pilot's Lounge drinking and observing the other passengers... not that I made new friends here, at least for now.
I'm really looking for to being back into civilization and meet these new friends (should I call them like this?) after all this time alone. In silence. Distant many light years from any form of intelligent life. Alone with my thoughs and feeling.
