Collection of BlundersA lot has happened since my last log. Haven't really known what to say. Things got hot in the Bubble. Literally. I got an emergency distress call from Mackenzie Relay over in Cemeiss; turns out someone let a bomb off across a load of Empire stations,...
Service UnavailableI spent a while touring the local systems on the prowl for High Grade Emissions, and was reasonably successful. The cabin fever started getting to me, though, so I've taken the Jaunte back out to HIP 36601 for some planetary exploration and excavation....
Unceremonious WelcomeSo I got to Jameson. Turns out Elite Traders are, ironically, a dime a dozen right now, and the Pilots' Federation have had to suspend congratulatory ceremonies pending a review of the rank hierarchies. So, I hustle up to this noisy as all hell station,...
Not the Killing TypeWell, I'm proud to say that my kill count rests at a comfortable zero. Maybe it's the recent DIY engineering attempts I made, maybe it's a manufacturers error, maybe it was just sheer dumb luck, but I couldn't get the Gaffe off the ground in time,...
The Call of DutyHah! I reckoned right: Farseer found my the Mendicant's name hilarious. I've met a fair few deep space explorers now and, I've gotta say, I like them. There's a certain nihilistic humour to them that I can relate to. Maybe gallows humour is just how folk...
Tending the FieldsBeen a little while since I've been back home to Ray Gateway. A lot of nothing has happened, and it's been right up my alley. I left Farseer and, per her recommendation, headed out to Borann for a little mining. Wandering those asteroid fields is magnificently...
A New LifeBio-flash works. I woke up in a clinic in Garay Terminal, and the insurance took care of replacing the Maven. I'm back in the cockpit now, as though nothing happened. Maybe it's a quirk of the tech, or maybe it's a feature, but I don't remember dying....
StrandedWell, that didn't go as planned. I got myself out to the Rim mostly without issue. There was a week where my handling kept going insane, mind. I had to strip out the whole front dash and thruster controls of the Maven to figure out what the hell was...
Leaving the BubbleCommissioned an Eagle and Diamondback Explorer today, as well. Watching the Gambit folk do what they do made me want to build out a hooner to which I can aspire. One day I'll brave those canyons... For now, we're taking the Maven out. I figure the...
Taking Newton's GambitIt's my anniversary today. One whole year since I left Earth for Dromi, and finally started towards that silly dream of becoming a pilot. Sometimes I feel like I've been running away from home my whole life; I chose a college as far away as I could,...
