Woke up in the middle of nowhere on Porrima III
02 Mar 2024Capt. Shadow Johnson
Guess I made an outpost for adventure /sBut seriously, dreadful emotional blur to hastily built hab to bring back junk to. The loot here sucks, as it’s only rated as a lvl 30 system. This is the planet that the Red Mile exists on. Nothing special here but that stupid murder marathon they run. Although the hammers and shielded cargo they that fat jerk at the ship office sell are nice additions. Not that I’d really need those, because I don’t risk it on purpose, I got Marcel for Contraband if needed, no it for just in case I’m absent minded and got “illegal” loot on board. If I remember correctly I’m looking for more Ecliptic head buckets for Dennis. The hot tip he had only lead me to 1, just 1 stupid helmets... I swear it was shocktroop helmets I was after, oh well, ecliptic son the menu. Last I remember I hit up the Vulture’s roost, couldn’t pry one off those 2-bit mercenaries.
Time to head out. Andreja is accompanying me, I think Constellation wants someone to keep and eye on me. Another gun always helps I suppose. Or another back to carry loot back.
<post entry> for now...
DESERTED RELAY STATION - here we go, hopefully there’s Ecliptic here, need those brain buckets. Typically 1 piece of Contraband stored on upstairs level in a cage. Well that went horrible. Tried to sneak in and whip out the Urban Eagle and sneak through, but Andreja had other plans and aggro’d everyone. At least it’s Ecliptic, hopefully there’s recover ramble helmets. Man just shitty low quality loot. Found some Harvested Organs, whoopie. There was a few food ingredients that are helpful and some meds to whip up some Panacea, although I got a ton of that already. Just 1 salvageable helmet. Frustrating. Back to the ship to fill the Argo hold...
<post entry> where to next?
Big Decisions
I've decided to shut it all down. I'm going to be travelling to each outpost and shut them all down. Well most of them. I will
leave a couple, including my vacation and my collecting outposts. I think Sarah would have wanted me to get out of the resource business, for a while at least. Got a hot word from a smuggler friend of a container on New Atlantis. It has some kinda illegal tech in it or attached to it or something. Apparently its some kind of atomizer or deatomizer, not sure. Anyways it's like some DnD infinite bag of holding. That smuggler said "everything", when I asked just how much it hold. Guess will see about that...
<post entry> this should be fun
1. Huygens II - gone (Xeon Factory)
{heading back to New Atlantis to drop resources, maybe i'll take down one more outpost...)
2. Huygens - VII-a - gone (Tansine/Cobalt/Nickel)
{back to drop junk}
[by god it works! first thing when I stuck my hand in the container I remember thinking "sure wish this contraption came with an instruction manual", and just like that I felt something in my hand and upon quickly jerking it out, there was some weird looking parchment of made on what looked like flesh and circuits. It hummed and pulsed like a heartbeat, but had the instructions sure enough for the container, from someplace called The Void Inc.. I guess it runs on a form of telepathy connected so some re-particallization technology. I'm not sure, Im having trouble reading the instructions, can't tell if the words and diagrams are on the parchment or in my mind. I'll fold this away and put it in my pocket for now. I get the jist, and I just stored several thousand units of resources away. Simply amazing. That smuggler knew what they were talking about.]
3. Kattydid III - gone. (indicite/Aluminum/Contraband Storage)
(Back to NA to drop resources, via Marcel to talk about a thing if ya know what I mean ;] )
4. Zelanzy III - gone. (Immunostimulant/Membrane/Caesium) had to stop here to switch shipsso i broke it down and packedf it up. I was further out then I thought and the big tank I was flyingonly went 27 and I needed 29. Need to work on my skills and get a little more out of the ole grav drive. Way too much contraband to unload on Marcel, Im just gonna take it to Land's End and drop it in my collection.
