3303-08-02 Numbers, Numbers, NumbersAfter a short rest and hitting up a few of my favourite sights in the station, it was back to business. As tempting as extended shore leave may be, I just can't get the imminent threat out of my mind. On review of my ship's databanks, I have well in...
3303-07-30 HomecomingAfter leaving The Conflux it didn't take long before I started to see those signs of being back near the bubble. I decided to take the path slightly less travelled, and instead of heading straight across the inter-arm void, diverted slightly rimwards...
3303-07-23 The Conflux and the Home StraightAnother few thousand light years down, countless more systems and planets scanned. With home in sight, I've not been keeping as detailed records so I couldn't tell you how many flight hours it took to get here. What I can say, I'm 8 kylies from home....
3303-07-14 Arrival at GagarinIt was a welcome sight I have to say, cruising round the arc of the planet and seeing the navigation lights of Gagarin Gate in the distance. On my first docking after long exploration trips, you'll hear me mumbling the returning explorers mantra to my...
3303-06-28 Lost Opportunities And a New JourneyThe decision has been made. I will return to the bubble. In doing so I have to make my peace with the sights I'll likely never see. Crossing the void, Beagle Point, Wagar's Reach. All to be nothing but specks in the far distance. But that's not to...
3303-06-27 Messages From Home, and Shifting PrioritiesYou know, even though deep space exploration involves being isolated from the rest of humanity, you're still never completely cut off. Between the hundreds of deep space probes, monitoring stations, and other explorers relaying signals from the bubble,...
3303-06-14 The Core, and Decisions to be MadeNow that I had my second wind, progress was fast. I covered the (relatively) short distance between the Great Annihilator and the core in a matter of days. You know, you really get a sense of perspective out here. I just travelled nearly three kylies,...
3303-06-07 The Great Annihilator, and a Renewed VigourAs I approach the core, the star field really becomes an amazing sight, you truly see the beauty of the milky way, and this spurred me on to reach my goal. I couldn't tell you how long ago as the days, the jumps, and the stars, are all blurring into...
3303-05-03 The First Signs of Space MadnessIt's nothing new to me really. I've been to the galactic rim, buckyballed to Sag A, been to Colonia three times and even voluntarily gone to Hutton Orbital. But I have to say once again, Space Madness is real. Like really real. It's a whole 16 kylies...
3303-05-02 Disaster!I guess it had to happen sooner or later, with too many late nights flying, only half paying attention. There it was on the surface, my scanners picked something up but I couldn't get a visual. Simple solution of course, head down and take a look. Maybe...
