To the Heart: Preperations
25 Apr 2017WolfLDrakarn
After weeks of denying and refusing, the growing choir of curiosity within my head had finally taken hold and I at last, made my preparations for the heart of our galaxy - Sagittarius A*.The topic was brought many times before by my friend and fellow CMDR, SBK, whom had attempted persuading me several times before to make the voyage to Colonia, but many times had I disregarded the idea, not willing to dedicate a weeks worth of my time to such a journey. Now I find myself plotting out course and being fully content with spending at least three weeks travelling to the heart of our galaxy and back again. My friend and fellow CMDR, SBK, had also persuaded another of friends to join us on the voyage, this is when I too, quickly joined up for the journey. I was to make the trip out there with my Dolphin, prepared and readied for the journey ahead with SBK fluing his Anaconda and our third member, like me, preparing his Dolphin for the journey. He had the worst jump range of the three of us, capping around twenty-five light years while my own would take me out thirty per jump. And he, unlike SBK and myself, had no real delays however small they might have been as he, the only one out of the three of us whom had not taken any passengers on board.
I was the second of our trio to leave The Bubble, with the final goodbyes belonging to our third member.
I had planned the voyage within checkpoints - a bookmarked location every one thousand light years or so - with my first session of jumps leaving my in the Parrot Head Sector. My first stop was going to be for the passengers on board, leading them somewhere near the middle of Sag A* and Colonia. Next, I would travel to Sagittarius A* itself, spending some time to explore and gather data for home. This was one part of the trip I looked forward to the most, I had gazed upon the beautiful cluster of stars around the black hole for sometime, now exited I was to fly within their company. My third stop of course, was Colonia, I planned at least a small visit to there before I had even left, besides... I'm going to be out there for a good while, may as well spend the place a visit. After saying 'hello' my next stop was to then be a small Nebula not too far away purely for sightseeing and any valuable data I could gather. Lastly, I would then make the return journey home... back to The Bubble, back to the Empire... back to The Bardawulf.
