Ok, I'm stuck ... help me out here please (No, lots of fuel left)

"This is your captain speaking, I'm fresh out of ideas and welcome any suggestions from the passengers."

My Tour is in shallow waters.

I'm trying to go from sight to sight, trying to keep each within 1,000 Ly distance. Don't want the passengers to get bored. At least not as bored as me, making all these arbitrary rules to keep things interesting.

Here's the route so far

Where to now? Buggered if I know.

edit: Coalsack is just 100ly too far. I need something in between.

Betelgeuse?

Sigma Orionis?

Will do nicely, thanks!

Missplaced BG, thought it was further west

Sigma Orionis?

Right distance, wrong way. I do want to end up in Coalsack.

edit: more suggestions always welcome. The shorter the distance between sights, the happier the passengers.

I'm also checking out Y2 Puppis, because it sounds like: Why 2 Puppies?

Rigel is not far from Betelgeuse. The blue supergiant is a sight to behold.

That it is, but people can just take the bus there. I want to stay out of the bubble. Should have mentioned that.

Thanks for the tip though.

edit: lol,

Rigel, check. Could pair that with Witchhead, thanks!

Vela Dark Region, perhaps? Been there yesterday, it's quite nice. Plus, you can point out the Regor Sector to your passengers, it'd be like flying over Area 51.

Tempting, even though its 800 ly away.

I have to pick a way back again as well

Is this the start of your Orca tour?

Maybe do what i have been known to do. Make your way downstairs, leave the bridge door open, join the party, take a couple of generous glasses, see where you end up!

I'd like to think I'm more than halfway

Hmm ... you mean serving the passengers alcoholic beverages as well? That's a good idea, they might like that.

Should have thought of that ... I only brought enough for meself. Oh well, next trip.

Open bridge door + Drunk party guests = Recipe for disaster

Read the small print on your ship's insurance policy ally carefully.

Call an sudden party and see how many of us turn up

Coalsack .... is sacked.

hopped around it all last night, and it's off the list. When you're in it, you can't find your drink, when you're not, you have to contrast it against the Milky Way.

Back to 59 Virginis. End of tour. Everyone get their lazy butts of my ship, I have a flyer to make to promote my trip. Go on, scoot!
