-----Commander's Log-----

2216 AEST, 19.3.3306, Expedition Concluded, Landed in the Ither System and unloaded Elijah to the WoJ Medical Teams, he went critical on the last few jumps, so he's going into good care for the next few days, I'm being quarantined soon, so I gotta make this quick.

Shortly after my last entry, I decided to just head home, I used 9 boosted jumps and proceeded to make my way back as quick as I could, for Elijah, I didn't document anything notable, stopped a couple times to check on him, scanned some things, logged them, found another ELW unmapped, so I took that.

My payment for my data was around 70,000,000Cr, not to shabby, I'd happily do that again... maybe next year, I'm drained, exhausted, my ship needs to go in for drydock maintenance, the paint is gone, things are falling out of place, looking at a 400kCr bill from the looks of it, no biggy, but in any case, I best submit this log and get off this ship, Hazmat teams are boarding as I'm typing this.

-----Commander's Log-----

1657 AEST, I stopped for some rest, managed to find a number of interesting things today in this pocket of space, I managed to find 4 more Water Worlds for one, and 3 White Dwarves, I also managed to find what I'd considered a "Mars-Like" if my history is correct anyway.

Managed to find some exotic looking Worlds, one of them is like some sort of Iron-Magma world, it's very shiny, I've never seen anything like it before, among other things, I'll be parting my spot in the next hour and continuing my journey, I'll be spending the rest of the day exploring this pocket, and I will continue tomorrow as well then get a start on heading back.

Elijah seems to be doing a bit better, he's been up and making food and keeping warm. Pasta for dinner it seems for him, smells great, but I'll eat mine later.

Here's some photos.

19.3.3306 - 1313 Hour, Just got done with some work, made no progress yesterday as I had some sudden paperwork and conference calls to make, so I took the day to myself, but today, it's time to log the current cluster of stars I'm in and see if I can't find anything nice.

Breakfast was fine, Elijah fell sick yesterday, so he's in confinement in our Med Bay, sleeping, we were at Sol a week ago... I'm hoping it isn't that Pandemic I heard about, but we'll see, I'm still fine, for now, so it's all me until we get back.

Not much to really report, but I felt the need to make an update before my journey today.

-----Commander's Log-----

What a damn day, roughly 8 hours of travel and I managed to achieve my 5kLy goal in that amount of time like it was nothing, but boy am I tired, it's currently 0037.

Where do I even begin... alright, I left port at Messi at around 1500 Hours and began my journey, I didn't start stopping to check the system maps until about ~400 Lightyears away from the bubble, along the way past this point I found a very large number of discoveries, especially towards the end.

I flew for about 4 hours before stopping to have dinner with my crew mate, Elijah, We had Synthetic Pizza, not a perfect meal, but it was quick and simple, then we shared a movie in my quarters to relax before he went back to doing his maintenance work. I'd say we took about 2 hours to break before we took off again at around 2000 hours, I lost track.

As the trip went on, I managed to snag a number of shots, I also managed to find two Earth-Like Worlds, claimed of course, however one of them was unmapped, so I took the opportunity to do that. Shortly after that I started finding an influx of HMC's, Gas Giants, and Water Worlds, all unclaimed, and I'm very happy to find these.

Palin Contacted me at the end of our trip, so it's time to head back, but, I'd like to spend some time out here and see what else I can find in this sparse clutter of stars I've found myself in. I'll probably poke around in a 400 - 800 ly radius before heading home.

One thing is for sure, my Squadron is eager for me to deliver the Exploration data to one of their systems, we've been at war for a few weeks now on several fronts, and having influence bleeds, sadly, I've spent most of my time doing other things to benefit myself so I can get back to the fight, hopefully this is the last thing I need to do and I'm finally ready to tackle the war effort.

I took over 30 shots, but I'll attach the best ones as to not clutter my logs.

It's that time again, Road Trip time.

As of today, 16.03.3306, I've found that It's time to log another personal expedition, since the last one, I've done around 3 or 4 Mini-Expeditions, nothing worth noting, but I did them, however, I'm currently on a path to meet Professor Palin to finish much needed Upgrades to my Federal Corvette. Notably Grade 5 Dirty Drive Tuning, I've spent a considerable amount of Credits and Resources into this project, and I'm not about to quit now.

Despite my Corvette being in a satisfactory state, I want more, and this has been something I've been striving for since 3303, and now it's time.

The logs regarding this endeavor can be found on the Inara Program here: 13.3.3306 - JNS "Billy" Sing Upgrades 16.3.3306 - Upgrades Complete - Road to Palin

Only problem with this trip is I can only Estimate the time of departure, as things have been a little rough for me in recent days personally, but I'll see what happens.

0047... So damn tired, I decided to push on and get myself home, I reached Messi around 0000, and boy was I glad to see life, along the way I discovered 3 more Water Worlds, and some.. strange organisms called Gourd Molluscs.. strange things, but I found some, nothing too crazy happened other than almost falling asleep at my console several times.

After unloading and restocking at Messi, I decided to make my way back home to 7 Andromedae-Pappin City, managed to Map an uncharted Gas Giant in the bubble... lucky find, ha, but I gained roughly 35,000,000 Credits from my findings, and I shot up from Trailblazer to Ranger, skipped a whole Exploration Rank, feels damn nice, I have to say, but you know what feels nicer? sleeping in my own bed that isn't on a ship, haha, man my body is sore.

I've attached some photos to this logbook, I'm done, I need to sleep, 80 Jumps in a single 24 hour period with constant scanning is tiring, anyway, CMDR Kor'thara Out.

-----Commander's Log-----

Final trip successful, I've reached USHORNT KM-W D1-2 and I've shut down for dinner and a much needed break, along my way I discovered some rather lovely phenomenons including a Black Hole and my first Water World! I've decided to head back from this point, I'll be heading to Messi and delivering my data, Currently at 449 First Discoveries, 49 Gas Giants, 40 High Metal Content Worlds and 1 Water World, and I'm more than satisfied. I also found 3 Water Based Lifeform Gas Giants, and an Ammonia Based Lifeform Gas Giant sistering a Class IV.

I'm considering heading back as soon as my dinner is done and getting as far home as I can, my navigation computer has indicated it'll be roughly 42 Jumps from Messi, but Jackhammer can do it, he got this far, he can go further.

Lunch time, 1713 AEST, left an hour later than expected, but I got going, currently found 3 completely unexplored systems, 2 of which house two rather fascinating planets, one a Volcanic Silicate World, and in the other system a Frozen World with a 100% Water Atmosphere orbiting a Frozen Nitrogen World.

Time for eats then out I go again.

22.07.3305, Long night sleep, rather rough, had Bacon and Eggs for breakfast, was lovely, slept in, planned to depart the planet I'm currently stationed on by 1200 AEST again, but, it would appear I won't be departing untill roughly 1300 - 1400 AEST, need to make preparations and flight checks before I leave, not to mention wake up and let the ship warm up.

Today's trip will take me to USHORNT KM-W D1-2, not sure how far this is from Sol, but It's 1,583.76ly from my current system, heading South-West from my position in the galaxy. After this trip, I'm not sure if I should head back home, or head East, I don't particularly want to stray too far from the Bubble, but it's incredibly tempting, I'm currently content with my current findings and journey, but I want to do better, I do have another 3 days planned after all, but I guess we'll see.

-----Commander's Log-----

After a hearty dinner I began to map planets within the BRAUFAE WP-A CO System, I managed to snap a wonderful photo of some Silicate Fumaroles, I then proceeded to map my way another 300 Light Years but only made 2 more jumps before stopping. I encountered some addition Atmospheric High Metal Content Worlds, one of which is Volcanic, another is an Ammonia mixed with some sort of Dioxide if memory serves, it struck me as an Earth-like when I saw it, with a wonderful blue ice ring, however it was just the standard HMCW.

This journey has been a wonderful experience with many memorable moments, I look forward to tomorrow for another 1,600ly journey heading South-West of my current plane and postion.
