• After fighting some hours in conflict zones, I had enough Combat Bonds for the Federation to get an invitation from the engineer Juri Ishmaak.
• I donated some money to her and she offered me a few very good upgrades for my ship.
• Tomorrow I'll help some other engineers, so that they might help me with some of my modules.

• Today I did enough missions for the empire to rank up until 'Duke', which enables me to buy the Imperial Cutter at some stations!
• Right now I don't have enough money for this big ship, so I decided to rank up with some engineers and get better equipment for my Federal Corvette to be abled to fight longer in conflict zones.

• After finishing some missions in KUWEMAKI, I decided to go to NGALINN, where the empire has more missions that I could do.
• Right now I reached the empire rank Viscount. If I don't get bored, I'll keep doing missions around here until I can buy the Imperial Cutter.

• I reached Sol a few days ago. Since then I bought some new ships for fighting.
• Right now I'm in KUWEMAKI, because I visited an engineer in this system. Next I'll do some missions for the empire, to get a better reputation and rank up with them.

• Today I reached the asteroid base in HEART SECTOR IR-V B2-0 and repaired and refilled my ships systems. After that, I decided to go to another base, which was just 7 jumps away. I have been there before when I went towards the settlements.
• After taking a short break at these bases, I continued my journey back to the bubble.
• Right now I travelled 3700ly from these outposts and only have 1200ly left until I reach the next asteroid base. But to Sol it's still 3800ly.
• Right now I'm going to sleep a while and hope that I'll be close to the bubble when I write my next log.

• I'm on my way back to the bubble! Right now I'm in HYPOAE AIM PL-Y D2, which is 3100ly away from the Zurara and 9000ly from Sol.
• My next stop will be an outpost 1500ly away, but I'm too tired to make these 30 jumps right now. After some rest I'll start jumping again towards the bubble.

    RECORDING

    We managed to overpower the invaders. but not before
    they took out the main reactor. We're dead in space, with
    twenty minutes of life support left. Didn't get nothing out
    of them before they died, but clearly it was all planned.
    They took a drug which killed them. Doc says it's
    nicknamed 'Hexedit'. First it kills your memories, then it
    kills you. Neat and tidy.

    So we're dead, just waiting for the end. This will be the last
    log from the Zurara. Some of the crew have already killed
    themselves. Others are praying to whatever deity they
    believe might help them. A few are drinking themselves
    into oblivion. I don't know what will get us first the lack of
    oxygen or the cold. Battery power is about to die.

    Me? I'm leaving this log. This far out I doubt anyone will
    ever hear it, but well, what the hell?

    We all signed up for the promise of big payouts, a year of
    your life in exchange for enough to retire on. I guess I
    should have looked closer at it, but you would have
    probably done the same, right? No need to work again.
    What's clear now is whoever was behind this mission
    never intended for any of us to come back.

    Damn, it's cold in here now.

    RESUME

    The folks managing the cargo, jees, they were all psychos.
    The moment we completed the mission they just
    'snapped'. Killed the ship and killed themselves. Some
    kind Of mental conditioning. Doc said. We tried to get word
    out to the other vessels when we found out. We got a
    signal out. but I don't know if anyone received it. It will
    probably freak them out. I don't think they know we're
    here.

    We dropped a series of beacons out here, all targeted
    around Earth-like or terraformable worlds We prepped
    some of the terraform candidates with seeders and
    biofilters. No one can figure out why it was necessary. but
    that was the mission. Just as we were turning back... 
    boom, those cargo-handlers went nuts.

    So that's it. We don't even know why we've been killed. But
    someone out there knows. someone out there has blood
    on their hands, a lot of it. If you figure it out. give them a
    message from us. You know what I mean.

    Funny. We were told there was something bad out here,
    that it was haunted by ghosts...

    I just never figured it would be us doing the haunting...

    So this is what they were hiding. I'm leaving the old logs
    for reference. I might need to come back this way again
    and re-educate myself. Chances are my memory will get
    zapped again. If I don't make it I'll have to leave clues for
    others to follow. So, if you're reading this and you're not

    Found this ship. Took me years. This is the evidence.
    Nothing inside but void-frozen cadavers, perfectly
    preserved, some with drinks still in their hands. But the
    log. They sent these poor souls out here because they
    needed waypoints. all prepped for every eventuality. Three
    different zones it would seem.

    RESUME

    There's a conspiracy. Guess you figured that out already,
    but it goes way up, way beyond the Feds, the Imps and the
    Alliance. Something is coming, don't know what it is. but
    it's bad and it's all being hidden. All this weird stuff far out
    in the void? It's some kind of contineency plan. The
    answer to why and who is back in the core, not out here.
    That's where I'm going next Wish me luck.

• I just reached the megaship Zurara and scanned it. It gave me 7 Log entries, four from a man who died there in 3270 because of some people who damaged the ship so that it couldn't be moved again, and three Log entries from a woman, who was there 3 years after the Log files from the man. It seems like she was going to visit some other locations where ships like the Zurara were sent.
• I'll stay some time in this system before I fly back to the bubble. Maybe I'll visit the settlements again, before I return.

Information I got from the Formidine Rift Gamma Site:

FORMIDINE RIFT DELTA MISSION 1/6

    Expedition Log: 30/08/3270

    "I should have paid a bit more attention to the mission
    description. I just saw the credit count and signed up
    there and then. More money than I've ever earned and all
    in one go, just for taking a year out. What's a poor girl got
    to do? A bit of jaunt into the void, how bad could it be?
    Didn't read the bit about several thousand light years. I've
    been past Leesti before! Get rich scheme
    - let's go!"

FORMIDINE RIFT DELTA MISSION 2/6

    Expedition Log: 12/09/3270

    "It's pretty out there, we've seen a gorgeous double nebula
    called Heart and Soul. You should see it, lots of bright
    blue stars nearby, wish we could divert to have a closer
    look, but our mission is beyond apparently. Really brings
    back how big the galaxy is. Make you feel real small and
    insignificant."

FORMIDINE RIFT DELTA MISSION 3/6

    Expedition Log: 18/09/3270

    "My job is the EVA. Taking out one of out two Sidewinders
    and dropping beacons out in the void and then making
    sure they are activated. Not sure what these things are for.
    Who needs a beacon this far out anyway? Weird, they all
    have this code in their BIOS - 'Exodus'. Still, at least I now
    have something to do. The journey was so dull! Months of
    travel to get here."

FORMIDINE RIFT DELTA MISSION 4/6

    Expedition Log: 01/10/3270

    "Something weird happened today. Unloaded another
    beacon and set it up, then everything went offline - and I
    mean everything! Life support too! No comms, nothing.
    Stayed that way for about two minutes. Then everything
    was back to normal. Affected our support ship too. No idea
    what caused it. Going to need new underwear when I get
    back. Rumours are there is something odd about this area
    of space."

FORMIDINE RIFT DELTA MISSION 5/6

    Expedition Log: 11/11/3270

    "Oh my God ... someone help me. Where are they ... please ...
    this can't be happening."

FORMIDINE RIFT DELTA MISSION 6/6

    Expedition Log: 29/11/3270

    "I've had time to accept it now. I went out as normal with
    one of the beacons, set it up. Had that weird power loss
    again. I waited and it all came back online like before.
    Signalled my support ship - no response. Flew back and it
    was gone, just debris. No survivors. Don't know what
    happened. It's just me and this crappy Sidewinder a
    zillion miles from home. Should have known it wasn't
    going to work out. If it's too good to be true.... There's an
    Earth-like world here, going to try and reach it ... you never
    know."
