Excessively Ambitious - Returning Home

Log of Commander Emiliee Kobayashi - January 14, 3304 - 12:00Well, I had to manually enter my name again... Ship's computer doesn't spell my first name right, and doesn't even know what to do with my last name... Every time I see that I remember: "I really need to fix that. Maybe I'll do that next time I'm heading to a distant planet in a system..." I never remember.
In any case, on to the actual log...
Two days ago, on the 12th of January, I embarked on what was to be the most ambitious journey I'd ever taken. I had signed on to be one of the hundreds of commanders traveling to Colonia in the Enigma Expedition. Perhaps I was too ambitious. Upon reaching the 3rd waypoint, in 46 Upsilon Sagittarii, I started to feel - of all things - homesick. This was an extremely abnormal feeling to me, as I've always felt most at home out in the black. And I had gone further than I had ever before. I'd always stayed within roughly 500 light years from the edge of the bubble, and I was fine with that. But I decided to up the ante and go farther. I've decided to call 1782 ly from Sol good enough for now, and have begun the journey back to the bubble. I'm currently in the Swoiwns AO-I B55-0 System, and a good 63 jumps from my end destination. When I get back there, I'm going to work on raising my rank with the Federation. Once I've raised my rank up a bit, I'll probably go back to Eravate and check in on my kid sister and niece... Katelyn always enjoys seeing me...
Well, I see that I've started rambling about stuff that's irrelevant to the task at hand, so I'm going to wrap this up.
Commander Kobayashi, signing off.
