At LastI finally have the pleasure of writing this from the bar of DSSA Distant Worlds 'Endeavour' at Beagle Point. It has been a long few months with both triumphs and disasters. And a hell of a lot of time on my own in the endless solitude of The Black. ...
Disaster and TriumphThe must-see destination of any explorer, the supermassive blackhole that is Sagittarius A. It was a long way to come from Colonia. This was made worse by some high gravity planets, two that I slammed into on the way. The first was on the leg from Colonia...
A Violent BreakWith my arrival in Colonia, I decided to take a break from my trip to Beagle Point. Since my trigger finger was getting itchy I started looking around the Colonia region for any trouble. It only took a trip to the bar to find out about some conflict in...
The Long Way to ColoniaColonia finally. It was a long trip zig-zagging across the galaxy. My first main stop on this leg was the DSSA Cygni-Vanguard in the Floalk QQ-Q c20-2 system coming from the DSSA Paradox Destiny in thePrai Hypoo TX-B d4 system. Almost 5,000ly and I don't...
The Value of BacteriumSo many of us head out to find new life on distant worlds. Though there are more profitable ways of making your way through the galaxy, this is one of the newest. What is it worth fly out to a planet and scan it? Is it worth landing on a planet to hunt...
The Problematic LegIt took a lot longer to dock with the DSSA Paradox Destiny than I had originally intended. The first came a few days after leaving Croidai. My genetic sampler stopped working. my ship rested upon a bacterial colony for over a week before I could get the...
The Second LegI have stopped the night in Hypoi Eaewsy WQ-A c15-0. During the day I decided to change the waypoint, Croidai LO-O d7-0 to Croidai QF-L d9-0. It was not much of a difference. I had started plotting my route from LO-O d7-0 towards the next waypoint and...
First LegI have stopped and departed from Syreadiae JX-F c0 and the DSSA KTL Frontier Sanctuary already. It took 5 days to do just shy of 4,000 light-years. Another day and I'm now sitting in Hypua Hypoo GM-C c29-0. The area on this first leg through the Formadine...
Almost 150kly in 410 daysI'm sitting in the Formadine Rift at the moment. In the Eafots DN-Y b28-0 to be exact. This means that I have completed my goal of making it out to the Formadine Rift that I set a week or so ago. Granted I may not have visited as many systems as I had...
A Matter of CultureToday I visited a few more systems and found myself hunting bacterium again. I did manage to find variants of Bacterium acies and Bacterium vesicula. These would have to be some of the worst species to be looking for though, given that they payout the...
