Log # 30 Distant worlds 2 : LAUNCH
15 Jan 2019(Wettoast) Wanda Fersegi
Waypoint 1 : PallaeniJust a few hours to go now, been conversing with the two other pilots I convinced to go and we're all jittery and lightheaded . Years of preparation and waiting will wrap up in less than a few minutes and the voice comms are flooded with the sounds of adults that never grew up, just like I kind of never did. Brooks point was an absolute beehive of pilots all parked within meters of each other and driving up their insurance rates in the process by trashing srv buggies left right and center. Anyway it's 30 minutes to launch, time to head to the beacon !
The sky over Brook's point is just filled with supercruise trails, it really is hard to see anything. Mesmerizing all by itself, probably wont see something like this again in a whole long while.

The final countdown started, there is probably an ocean of sweat between me and my remlok. Can't sit still either ! I should be sleeping right now but somehow managed to stay awake 36 hours from sheer jitteryness, no drugs or coffee needed. Our launch window is fast approaching. Time to make like a strawberry, and jam.

We're well into the first leg now, past the "The view " Thankfully cmdr maxfaded didn't manage to smash their own srv or mine even though they were trying really hard to.... I took my time to hang back a bit and take in a few more sights while he and the group hammered on ahead to the Omega nebula, I'm sure I'll catch up eventually considering we still have close to half a year to go with this expedition. I hope I don't go crazy by the end of all of this because we're not too far in and they're already annoying, or maybe it will have the opposite effect and being annoyed constantly will keep everyone from going crazy....
Many lightyears ahead, best wishes to all 10 thousand who are going . Wanda N. Fersegi , "Wettoast" out.
