Entry 17 - Anchorage at LastWell... I made it to Explorer's Anchorage. I'll admit I felt a little shaky trying to slip through the mail slot manually after so many months of not practicing it. And indeed, I had to keep my hands from trembling on the stick as I finally...
Entry 16 - Still on the way homeI guess in the excitement of reaching Beagle Point and the far northern end of the galaxy, it's easy to forget exactly how far I am from the Bubble. This is being made painfully clear to me now upon my return trip. I've had more than a few bouts of...
Entry 15 - Beyond Beagle Point, and Beginning the Way BackI have to admit, I've been neglecting this log. I suppose after making it Beagle Point, some of the urgency went out of maintaining it, so I'll try to write down from memory the events of the past few weeks. I'm currently in Blaa Blao OC-N C22-3,...
Entry 14 - Beagle Point... and Beyond!So... I made it! After some weeks of blank space and so deep in the routine of jump-honk-scoop-scan-map that I almost have no memory of it, I looked up to see the next jump en route was Beagle Point. I almost held my breath as the Frame Shift...
Entry 13 - Facing the AbyssNot a ton of progress to report recently. After making it to the most recent waypoint, my nav computer said that I was less than 10,000 Ly away from Beagle Point. Which meant that theoretically, it should be within the capabilities of the nav computer...
Entry 12 - Pit StopOkay, so I'm doing a little better this time around. It helps that literally the day after my previous log entry, I discovered, scanned, and mapped my first Earth-Like World. Once that happened, though, I started becoming anxious about accidentally...
Entry 11 - Hitting a SlumpSo I've spent the past few days plotting my way across the parsecs, and if I'm honest, most of the novelty has worn off at this point. While I'm enjoying the discovery of new systems and planetary bodies, along with their accompanying scenery, I'm definitely...
Entry 10 - Settling into the GrooveIt's been a while since I've updated this log, so while I'm not sure how much of interest has actually taken place, I figured I'd give an update anyway. Since my last entry, I arrived at Three of a Kind, and was fascinated by the gravitational lensing...
Entry 9 - Into the BlackSo, the trip to Monde de la Mort went relatively well. In short, no one crashed or burned up. To be fair, I didn't choose the perfect landing site: due to proximity to the white dwarf, the heat was climbing fast in the Galaxy Song, and I wanted...
Entry 8 - ColoniaI made it to Colonia! After my squadron decided to make a group trip of it, I left for Colonia this past week, and spent the hours hopping neutron stars to cross the long distance. While it was a convenient way to cover some ground at speed, it was...
