Hey Mom,I started picking come comms traffic about 6 systems before I hit Procyon. It was nice to hear something other than static and the pops and whistles of the FSS for a change. The Artemis was pretty beat up, her paint had all but been stripped running through the sandblaster that is supercruise. Hull integrity had taken a good hit as well but that was okay, I wasn't carrying anything worth pirating and I didn't have any weapons mounted so I wasn't going to be picking a fight. I only wanted to get into Procyon, sell of my data, get my system permit for the Sirius system and find Sally and grab a drink.
It was really nice to catch up with her, she is doing as well as can be expected. She misses you guys a lot and says that no other ship she has signed on with has been the same. We talked for a long time and I told her that she should make her way out to Colonia to visit you guys. She sounded interested and I promised her when I made the journey she would have a place on board. She had a few more contracts she had to honor but figured she would be hanging it up within a month or two. So looks like I may be making a journey out there in a couple months.
My long exploration trip made me some reputation with the Pilot's Federation and they bumped me up to Ranger. I have a way to go to reach that elusive Elite status but it looks like I will make it in Exploration before anything else. Sally gave me a look about that but what can I say, I have been riding the trade loops all my life, I wanted to see something a little different than mail slot for a change. Anyways, I am back now and could use a little civilization so I will see what kind of jobs I can scrounge up and see about picking up one of those Krait Mk2s everyone has been talking about.
Until next time,
Jake
