After months of planning and preparation, I'm almost there, almost at the furthest point from Sol an explorer can reach. Of course, I'm not really exploring. This is an endurance race like no other: over 65,000 ly in a straight line, more like 72,000 using the carefully calculated string of Neutron Star jumps I had plotted. Now, here I am, floating somewhere in the black, my ship stripped of all but the most essential parts. Only 6,800 ly away from my goal: Beagle Point. Once upon a time this trip would take an experienced explorer months to complete and this system was the furthest a CMDR could get from Sol without turning it into a one way trip.

9.5 hours, that's all it has taken to get here, 9.5 hours! I still can't believe it.

All that's left is 6 about 60 jumps and I'll see faces I haven't seen in a long time, other Fatherhood members, friends I've not seen in the skin for years. All if them took the "long" route here.

Anyway, I have to sleep now. It's been a long day, soon, I'll get there, I'll reach the Impossible Dream...
