13,000 Light-Years from Sol

[Antichthon]

Halfway to the galactic core, and I can go no further. My ship is broken and beaten. The FSD is in critical condition, The food processor is malfunctioning, and I burned out my last vibrator some thousand light-years back. If I don't turn around now, I fear I may never make it home.

I didn't make it to the core, but I have made it farther than all but a scant few. I am witnessing sights that no human has seen before. I've been to the Lagoon Nebula, NGC 6357 and Pismis 24. The temptation to keep going is strong, but too many explorers have fallen victim to that fever, only to die out here in uncharted space, their experiences never to be shared with the rest of humanity. I can't fall to that same trap. The challenge I face is to make it back to Cismontani with the data I've collected.

It's going to be difficult without my vibrator.

We'll let you know who won the X Factor when you get back

 

[Aberfur]

You did well, son.

 

[Noogillim]

Now if I were a pirate or all round bad egg, I know which system I'd be hanging around the local and hope to scoop your data that has to be a worthy price!

Maybe if you're in a vulnerable state you'd be better off getting back quietly instead of tempting the low life's by broadcasting such achievements.

The lack of help out in the big black is why I am upspeccing my cobra slowly before heading out so that my ship won't leave me on the ragged end of a star based cul-de-sac.

Your fsd gives your position away in game enough as is I won't be tempting any uninvited guests on here.

Exploring for the most part I hope will be a quiet experience away from the core.

Maybe until I stir up something in a none human core that is

I hope you can get home safely and cash in your efforts...

 

[Antichthon]

I'm actually not in bad shape. The problem was that my computer crashed whenever I tried to continue further towards the core, so I had to cut my expedition short. But the possibility of pirates is why I have an A6 shield on my Asp--I don't think I have much to worry about.

 

[M. Volgrand]

You burned your last vibrator... Yeah, space can be very lonely...

 

[AlexMagnusson]

Sigh. I flew 4000LY to see some place specifically and you'd already scanned it.

Goddamn gammatards.

Shouldn't have made discoveries retroactive when they added that patch..
