Eventful Uneventful DaysThe past couple of days were probably uneventful for most pilots, but for me, it was quite the experience. En-route to another system for profit, I docked at a lone outpost that was orbiting a star on its own. It seemed extra lonely without a planet...
Getting the Hang of TradingOoof, I'm tired. So after doing THAT hauling of biowaste (never again, too much paperwork and waiting for too little money), I decided to do some shipments in various technology goods to nearby systems, which paid better and didn't involve too much...
A DecisionI'm... better today. I spent a good chunk of yesterday contemplating and thinking. I was aware of the risks and danger, but when it hits you in the face for real it's just so, so intense, and I felt a terror I never thought possible. It was a long...
ShockI need a moment. Or many moments. I got interdicted by a pirate for real for the very first time. I'm still here, both me and New Prospect are still in one piece, I didn't lose my cargo, but I'm shaking. I'm shaking really bad. I was carrying the...
Jackpot!I can't believe my luck! So after doing a few trading and data runs from Burojinura, to Iota Pavonis, then Daha Deti, and then back again then to systems I can't remember, I arrived at Nemehi, where I literally hit gold. And silver on top of that too....
First Day ProperThat was such a dull yet full day, but I have to say so far I'm satisfied. When I first pulled into Stephens Enterprise, I did feel a wave of homesickness. The Ocellus station (though not exactly the same as Gehry), the rocky high metal world it was...
Where now?It's a strange feeling, this. I've been wanting to be a freelance pilot for so long, to be not tied to a single location like I used to be, chained to one station forever like some weird old human custom (or punishment, ancient Earth history is not my...
FINALLYWell, that's that. While running final diagnostics on the ship, I got a message via the comms panel that my probation period with the Pilots Federation is over, and that a small sum of credits have been transferred to my account as additional thanks for...
Today's the day!This morning (after a damn good rest) I've been told everything checks out for me, and that today is my last day on probation. They're happy enough with my flight skills — and they should, I've flown plenty during my time at Gehry — and also I've proved...
What a long day...I'm tired. I've never had to pay so much attention to so many blinking lights, angry screens, blaring sirens, and a screaming COVAS, and that's on top of working the ship's HOTAS like a some crazed tech with two wrenches trying to get into the stuck access...
