Returning .. but less of a rush
12 Jan 2016Jim Beaumont
I took a long sleep today, the pace was punishing yesterday, and drained the energy from me. I got the coffee on the go, fired up the Nav comp, plotted a new course and set away. I was expecting another punishing day ahead, but I made my first jump and then received another text message from Merc.Some security has been restored to the system, and in support of the miners in the rings, and so the polls have lifted overnight by 7%. So Merc says it's not looking as likely for a CW as people were thinking. I'm sure I said it calm down soon enough!
So although I was still making my way back home, I was paying more attention to the systems I was visiting and back to looking for the elusive's again. I did notice on the Galactic chart about a 'Neutron Field', and I considered making a 1500 Ly sideways step to go take a visit, but after much deliberation I continued on my path for home. The field will have to wait for another occasion.
At a more casual pace I expect to arrive home on Friday now, unless Merc comes back to me with other ideas.
