Just a quick log entry today. Another twenty-three jumps and only fourteen exobiological specimens to show for it. Not a very good day in my book but a good amount of distance covered, so there's that. There is one more world in this system I would like to go over for exobiologicals but, that will have to wait for tomorrow.

I am ready for dinner and relaxation for tonight. that's it for this log entry. If I think of anything else I will add it later.

I made some decent progress today, but it was a rather long day. I found quite a few exobiologicals in several systems and I even visited multiple worlds in the same system a couple times today which isn't my style, but I thought I'd change things up a bit. Honestly if I hadn't done that, I'd have made even further progress toward the Colonia region today than I did. I am kind of glad that I didn't though now that I look back at the day because I did have a lot of fun hunting down the exobiologicals today. I can't put my finger on it exactly but for some reason, the hunts were exceptional today.

In total I discovered thirty-five exobiological specimens today. I don't know if that's a personal record or not, I doubt it, but it doesn't really matter anyway. Credits are credits at the end of the day, and I'll need them for my carrier which it's looking more and more like I am going to lease after all when I reach Tir/Colonia. And yes, that new mining ship, the T-11 is also on the list of things to buy that will go with the carrier.

Tonight, another easy meal as there isn't much of the day left. A quick shower and hammer out this log entry, a little video entertainment and then slumber time. It all starts again in the morning.

I believe this is a first for me. I don't think I have ever made just a single jump in a day before. Since I can remember I have always made multiple jumps, at least two jumps in a single day. I spent the entire day in the system Agnairy YM-I d10-5096 hunting exobiologicals across two planets in this system, and I can tell you- I am beat. What I wouldn't give for a hot sauna right now. A hot shower will have to do. I had to finish up yesterday's few remaining exobiological scans that I didn't finish before the end of the day and then this system was rich in exobiological life, so I had my work cut out for me today. Needless to say, I didn't make much progress toward the Colonia region today.

What I did get today is a whole lot of chair time in the SRV, in the mountains and on the plains and just about everywhere else in between. I'm not complaining, in fact I'm used to it by now, it's just my back isn't used to it yet. Well, I did manage to complete the exobiology surveys and get back in time to scrounge up some dinner. After my hot shower, I'll try to watch a couple videos, but I might not make it, I'm pretty tired. That about covers it for this log, I'll try to put some more distance between me and Sagitarius A tomorrow.

I spent the day today working on closing some distance to the Colonia region. Naturally I stop for exobiological signals, but there are few to be seen through this particular section of space I happen to be traveling through. Well, that was true until I happened across this last particular system I discovered, that being Agnairy CW-E b43-132 B 4. This world has six exobiological signatures on it that I need to track down, that is, I have tracked down two already, but I was so tired I had to call off my search for the remainder until tomorrow before I depart this planet.

The planet itself is very rocky and rough, at least what I have encountered so far. It's a real back breaker if you know what I mean. It isn't very kind to SRVs either. On the other hand, I have noticed it does have quite a few meteorites scattered about which is good for topping up SRV materials for refuel and repair, so it does have that going for it. Well, I shouldn't procrastinate too much longer, breakfast is over and cleaned up. Time to hop into the SRV and continue the search for exobiologicals. I may even have to change geographical locations to continue this mission. I will update if needed.

Update: I did have to change geographical locations on this planet the next day to finish the exobiological survey. It didn't take long to complete after that, maybe an hour at best. I then quickly left this world on my way toward the Colonia region. End of log.

I needed to alter my course and get away from the main route between Explorer's Anchorage and Colonia. I was way too close and was encountering many previously discovered neutron stars and black holes. I set course toward sol and moved away from the highly traveled path between Sag. A and Colonia by several hundred light years. Once the neutron star systems began to become undiscovered again, I resumed my course toward Tir and Colonia.

My luck with exobiology hasn't been too good lately, I must say. As of late, all the worlds I have encountered have had only one or two life signs on them although one world did have a rarer form of Bacterium Omentum on it along with Fonticula. Being a first footfall world, that will be a nice little pay out. I am hoping that since I have now altered my course so drastically, the exobiology planets will be more numerous and interesting and have higher numbers of life signatures on them. Only time will tell if this strategy works out for the best for me. To be sure, whatever the outcome, I will document it here.

I am on Phraa Flyuae YS-M c9-5563 6 c, and I am camped here for the night. This is an icy argon world and not a very desirable one at that. I am looking forward to getting off this ice ball shortly after breakfast and continuing my trek toward Tir and Colonia but, there is one more body with two life signatures that I would like to track down before I leave this system.

Today's journey was quite uneventful despite there being twenty-one jumps total and seven neutron stars visited. Every neutron star visited today, except for one, has been previously discovered. Incredibly enough, the main sequence stars in the vicinity all seem to remain undiscovered. Perhaps these neutron stars are being used as a highway, much like the Colonia Highway or, they are simply being hunted as I go about in my travels.

One thing has become obvious and that is, I am clearly too close to the main 'Highway' between Sag. A and Colonia. I must adjust my course in the direction of the bubble and into less traveled space if I want to seek out undiscovered star systems once again. I will try a five hundred light year shift toward Sol and then resume my journey to Tir and see if that gets me back on track with all new discoveries with every jump.

The planet I spent the night on tonight has horribly rough terrain. I'll just say that hunting down the exobiology was not an easy task. The Scarab took quite a beating, more so than usual. In fact, at one point, I actually thought I might go below 50% hull damage it was that bad. Needless to say, I found all the exo on the planet and had an average but filling dinner before passing out for the night from getting beaten up in the Scarab and exhaustion.

I am making my voyage to Tir once again, but this time it should end differently. At the end of this journey should be a carrier and a new T-11 mining ship for me. I am 99% certain I am going to pull the trigger on both of those purchases. So, I have a week or two to come up with a name for the carrier and decide which T-11 I want to purchase. The mid-level one offers quite a bit more over the bare bones one, but I really don't need all that extra bling. Just the Mining volley repeater and a multi limpet controller really to mine tritium for the carrier. I'm just thinking out loud..

I only made seven jumps today as there were quite a few exobiological worlds to visit. I had a lot of Scarab time today, in fact two worlds in the same system which is rare for me. I am camped on the second world in that system tonight, that system being Byoomao UG-F c14-6745 and the planet is B5. It has four exobiological signatures including Stratum Tectonica and my favorite, Frutexa.

Dinner will be easy tonight as I want to relax and watch a movie tonight complete with buttered popcorn. I'd like to get in more than just seven jumps tomorrow, but we'll see how that goes. That'll do it for this log entry.

I left Explorer's Anchorage today. I am headed to Colonia via Tir. My goal is to get a personal carrier in Colonia and a new mining T-11. I haven't worked out all the details yet, but they are relatively simple in scope and shouldn't be a problem in theory. I made a 1.35 billion credit profit on my most recent Tir to Sag. A run which took about a week or so at a modest pace. That's not too shabby. Now I'm on my way back but I'm once again, I'm in no hurry, I never am.

I am currently camped on an ice world of the B star in the system Byoomao JP-P c22-2860. This star is 345,236 LS from the A star. Without SCO drive, it would have taken a long time to get out here. To be honest, I probably would have skipped looking for the exobiology on this planet. Speaking of exobiology, the fungoida is being a royal pain in the ass to locate on this rock of a planet, and when I do spot some, it's impossible to find a landing site for the Lonestar because the terrain is so mountainous and rugged. As I write this log, I have not finished collecting all the samples before camping out for the night, that's how bad it is. I will finish up tomorrow and then continue my journey back to Colonia.

I finally made it to Explorer's Anchorage today. The station was bustling with ships coming and going, I felt good inside. It was nice to see humanity once again. First things first, taking care of my baby, the Lonestar. She is in need of a little attention so off to the mechanical wizards to perform their magic. I booked a hotel and grabbed my overnight bag and headed off to get my room. Everything happened so smoothly like they know what they are doing around here, I like that. A pilot could get used to this treatment real fast, but an explorer knows better, or he'd be just a pilot.

I'll cash in my cartographic data and exobiological data tomorrow. I am looking forward to seeing what that brings in. I doubt it will finally bring my bank account to over thirty billion, but I guess I'll see. In any event, my end goal is a carrier, and they are available in Colonia. The next leg on this trip is colonia where I'm sure to reach the thirty billion mark. It is there where I will purchase the new mining vessel to go with the carrier. After that, exploration will take on a new twist with a mobile base of operations. A brand-new chapter if you will.

Enough daydreaming for now, time to end this log.

Today was a short day of exploration. I visited only eight star systems which included two black holes and one neutron star. One of the black holes had been previously discovered, everything else was first discovered by me. I did manage to find nine exobiologicals spread over two different worlds including the moon I am camped on tonight. This moon has five exobiology signals that I found before I set up camp for the night. It's a very dark world as in very low illumination. I'm not sure if it is the star and low illumination or the distance of this planet and its moons from the star but I really don't care for it, and I am looking forward to leaving tomorrow.

This moon had Frutexa and Fungoida both growing up in the mountains, so I enjoyed tracking those down in the Scarab. The Cactoida, Bacterium and Tussock were all easy pickings down on the plains so no worries there. Since this moon has such low illumination, finding the exobiology has been a bit of a challenge and I did discover that I passed up several patches of Frutexa while looking for Frutexa as I was heading back to my ship because they were that difficult to see in the low visibility of this moon.

That's all for this log entry. Time to get cleaned up, have some dinner and relax for a while.
