Girl! Plot me a route out of system, via that rock there.
*PLEASE STATE PLANETARY BODY
Bloody useless thing; that one.. TH... 8A. Furthest one out. He's goin' that way, and I wanna be on his wake as he jumps.
*EXPOSITION NOT REQUIRED. ROUTE... 55%,75%,95% PLOTTED
Quite the talker, aren't yeh?
Fella; we comin in fast on this bogie. He knows we're here, and we knows where he's goin. Whatcha think? I can't interdict 'im; got no 'dictor, but I can distrupt his jump field if I risk blowin' us both to hell. Fancy it? Here it's quite warm this time o' year...
<silence>
Heh, you're spot on there. Dog's o' war alright!
Takin' her in.

Certainly pretty out here. Got the whole milky way out in fron' of me. Just sat there, all majestic like.
So. <sigh>. I lost em. I had a great plan; I had no plan. Was caught up in trying to stop 'em. Find out why they been hasslin' me that I didn't come prepared. I came out here explorin', and I found somethin'. Trouble bein, I don't know what it was.
That ship. Well, that ship thinks I do. Either it's the fella, or he's their plant. Or I lost my marbles a few weeks back and never made it past the Zurara. That'd be a story! Heh. Not one anyone would hear about tho'
I thought I'd disrupted their jump; right in their path I was. Like some ancient action movie; all noise and fire and light. What a ride!
Trouble bein' I was caught in their wake. I mis-timed it. Probably by a few milliseconds and instead of burstin' their bubble, I burst mine. Dropped in to normal, emergency style and my FSD crapped out on me. Got the AMFU workin' her magic but I gotta either land and do some spannerin' or do it out here. Lost nav and and the coffee maker's on the fritz. I mean, sure take away my means of getting home, but not ma' coffee!
Stupid. Stupid.
Still, mighty pretty out here.
