Drifting...So I jumped in this system and immediately the cockpit was flooded in blue light. My first neutron star. "Wow, Celeste, it is very beautiful! Why is it so blue?" "The star itself is not blue, Commander: is just the reaction of...
A mountain in a holeIt's evening and as usual I decide to find a suitable spot to land and spend the night. I am a bit nervous because Celeste has found a neutron star not very far from my current position... and it is an undiscovered one. This means firstly a lot...
My heart will go onMany centuries ago, when scientists sent a probe to Pluto for the first time, they discovered that there was an "heart" on its surface. I have been there: now that surface is full of dome cities and minerary towns, but looking at it for...
Step after step, jump after jumpEvery day I wake up, I take a shower, I eat my breakfast, then I jump. These days, all systems are unexplored. The list of celestial bodies "discovered by Nerys Nymei" is growing. At first, I was very surprised of it. Now I am getting used...

A shower... of moneyA shower. A shower. I am dreaming of a shower from weeks. Yes, there is a "mini-shower" in the crew compartment. There is also a "bed". They are useful for "cleaning" and "resting", but "showering"...
Biological detourSo I am in route for this mega-ship to perform the repairs. Almost at the last jump, while my hull is creaking like a nugget, a warning appears on my FSS scanner. Biological feature. Biological? After a month of geological features, suddenly I discover...
An island in the middle of nowhere.So I repaired the hull. Barely. Most of it. But Celeste, the COVAS, keeps complaining that the atmospheric pressure is unstable. And there is a funny smell coming from the air recyclers. Plus, the cockpit squeaks if I made a sharp turn. In short, I...
