RegressionI think that I may have been a bit premature in my previous log entry when I said "My first ship the Sidewinder, although it was a good start, was not really any good at anything". Because today's experience has proved this statement to be wrong,...
ObsessionSometimes it gets to be that way - a drive to just keep on doing the same activity. Once I'd got my pilots licence I made a natural progression through the ships that I bought, not bought, traded in really. During the early stages of my piloting career...
Deep Space Journal No 4. The Sol to Alpha Centauri run.This-afternoon, I finished the supercruise run from Sol to Alpha Centauri, that's 4.38 light years of mind dulling supercruise flight! Basically I wanted to see if it could be done and my previous experiments seemed to indicate that it was possible. ...
A new expedition - Log, AddendumSince I travelled with Livvie (my sister, oh and not forgetting Mufty, her green friend) I've been in the Pleiades grinding my combat rank. And what a grind it is too. I was a Combat Master and 70% of the way to Dangerous, so I thought that another...
Deep Space Journal No 3. Supercruising from Procyon to Luyten's StarToday I did the third of my supercruise tests. As I suggested in the second of these journals, , the third test was to travel just over one light year from Procyon to Luyten's star, which I have just completed. I set off from Procyon, Davy Dock...
A new expedition - Log, Day 07Well actually this is probably the last log for this expedition, not bad for just one week of travel. Today was pretty routine, as I anticipated that we'd enter the bubble and "civilised" space I took over the piloting. Livvy did really well,...
A new expedition - Log, Day 06Dear Log, Hey, maybe I shouldn't start this like it is a diary entry... Ok, today's log is authored by trainee commander Olivia Sarah Afron, sister to my brother Kris Afron the great explorer (well he is in my eyes anyway). Today, Kris gave me...
A new expedition - Log, Day 05A day not to forget I think. Now we are three! The crew has increased by one overnight, although I'm not sure how much use the third crew member is going to be. Today started badly, there was no sign of Olivia anywhere when I got up, not in the...
A new expedition - Log, Day 04Heading back to LHS 3447 today so I can drop Livvy off at Dalton Gateway. I'm hearing that there's some sort of outbreak in the Sol System, so it's best that I do things this way. We should take it leisurely as there's no rush to get there and anyway...
A new expedition - Log, Day 03, Part 2I'm getting closer to figuring out what the odd odour is. During lunch I caught it again and traced it to a small pool of oily liquid in the cabin's mess area. So maybe i'm looking at a coolant leak or something similar, I just need to find the source...
