Eagle's Landing.This trip has really given me a greater appreciation for the company of others. After Roviden took his path home, and I turned to Beagle's Point, it's been a fairly lonely journey in the cockpit. Yes, it was nice to return to Explorer's Anchorage, but that was six weeks ago. I've jumped to countless systems, scanned more planetary objects than I ever intended to (mostly in the hopes of finding evidence of Roviden's return course), and generally taken the least efficient route home I could've possibly done. Somehow, I managed to find myself within a stone's throw, so to speak, of Eagle's Landing, so I decided to land. I'm glad I did.
Roviden was here. His ship was entered into the register months ago. They logged a few routine repairs, and he stayed only long enough to complete them and fuel up. I'm planning to do the same and then finally plot my course for the last leg home. I almost feel like I can see it from here, even if it's almost 7,000LY away. I'll take my time and explore the remainder of the Colonia Connection Highway on my way home. I'll probably dock a few more times and relax on the way. If I'm right, I should be home sometime next week.
