o7 commanders:
My name is Jav Marlo. I arrived to Beagle Point some days ago and I wanted to take this opportunity to thank everybody involved in Distant Worlds 2.
I am a fresh commander, just been in the game since last November, but I am amazed by this rich universe, the stories within it and the community fueling them. Since I was I child I always loved space games, and this is the only one I have ever found that makes you feel like if you were truly exploring the galaxy. It has been great to take part in this incredible Journey of Discovery.
Since I started to play, I have been keeping a log with all my adventures in EDSM and Inara. I enjoy writing and taking pictures almost as much as flying; and that gives me the opportunity to roleplay my character and be goal driven in the game. That is the best part in my opinion, the incredibly liberty this game offers and the vastness of the galaxy to explore.
And talking about exploration, for the last months I have tried to enjoy everything that Distant Worlds 2 was offering, so I have travelled to every Point of Interest in the route, minor and major, with the exception of the Peak that I could not reach. I have done some exploration of route on my own, found amazing places, enjoyed the mass jumps and met many other commanders.
As a result, I have just realized that I have written nearly one hundred pages and taken dozens of pictures with my thoughts along all the milestones of this incredible voyage. All this work has been published by chapters every Monday in Inara and EDSM. Here are the links to the epilogue of this adventure (

Now it is time to go back to the Bubble and came back to the original plot of the adventures of Jav Marlo. I create my logs and stories at the same time I discover the lore of this rich universe. So I have many people to thank, starting by Erimus Kamzel and Dr Kaii, along with all the team behind Distant Worlds 2. Frontier Developments for creating Elite Dangerous and their incredible team managing the forums. EDSM, for being an incredible tool for explorers and for all the lore information I am learning from them. INARA, for being such an incredible resource for publishing stories. To Drew Vargar for creating amazing characters and stories, that are embedded within the game, and that I have just started to discover; and to all the other writers and lore content creators of Elite. And finally, to all the commanders out there in the void, specially the ones I have found in my adventures, the ones organizing events in Distant Worlds 2, and even the ones that killed me. That was fun too.
I will see you in the void. Fly safe commanders.
Jav Marlo
PS: I am always eager to participate in adventures with other commanders and write about it, so feel free to contact me through Inara or EDSM if you have a proposal. Just have in mind that it will take me a while to come back to the Bubble.
