Beagle Point! Here at Last! After a couple of minor delays, I finally touched down at Beagle Point 2. When I pulled up to orbit I came across the orbiting memorial to Zylo. Man, that story hit me much harder than I was expecting. The solitude and solemnity of looking back...
100 Jumps Until Beagle Point! It's gettin' pretty thin out here. I'm sitting here dipping my toe into The Abyss, ready to launch across to Beagle Point. I'm an explorer, so being in unfamiliar space doesn't frighten me. And I'm pretty confident I configured The Ceti Azeria...
Finally, Waypoint 11. Sheesh. Does sanity have a chance to return? I finally made it through the final push of 90+ jumps to Luna's Shadow (aka, Waypoint 11). I have honestly never, ever pushed myself or my ship as hard as I have the last several days. And all because I was...
97 Jumps to Waypoint 11...DAMN, so close! Stupid mistakes. That's what was happening. I pushed and pushed and pushed. Malina had come down with something, so I wasn't about to have her take the helm, and my sheer cussedness wouldn't let me give up on making it all the way through the 320...
Almost to Waypoint 11...getting some rest before the last 197 jumps After nearly 28,000 lightyears, I came across an Earth-like World. Yay, me. Of course, I've been barely more than honking in each system as I race at break-neck speed to catch up to Waypoint 11, so it shouldn't be a shocker when I don't see much...
DW2 Waypoint 2....catching up! Exhausted. With The Ceti Azeria being down for three weeks, it put me way behind my squadron mates who are part of the Distant Worlds 2 caravan. Sure, I never signed up, and I just met up with them at Sag-A, but I'd never been to Beagle Point,...
FINALLY departed Explorer's Anchorage...and then What The Actual?After spending over three weeks at Anchorage to get The Ceti Azeria up and running again, I had Eden plot out a route that would allow best possible speed to catch up with my faction mates in the DW2 caravan. I'm not officially part of the caravan, but...
I Had "The Talk", Then Everything BrokeThis was definitely unexpected. You recall that my new crewmember, Malina, nearly wrecked my ship while I was canyon carving in the fighter? When we got back to Explorer's Anchorage to repair the ship I sat her down to find out what the hell she was...
And, As Construction Winds Down On Explorer's Anchorage... Most of the structure is complete on Explorer's Anchorage. I can still see a couple of sections being closed up on the ring of the station. Most of the station services appear to be up and running, but there's still no shipyard. Okay, yeah, I get...
She Left Me! She's Frickin' Left Me!Francisca has been with me for a while. And she's been an invaluable crew member...pretty much the perfect crew member. She absolutely knows what she's doing, she doesn't take herself too seriously, and she follows orders in a pinch. Now, that's not...
