Finally, civilization. I can use a few stiff drinks and repairs. First order of business is to sell system data; there is no need hoard data until my return back to the bubble.

Met Progenitor Cedrick Roman and after a few drinks on his tab, he offered a chance to become to become an ally of Colonia Council and at a cost of 1m. Well, I know it's the going rate in the bubble, so I agreed, after all they paid me millions for cart data.

After our conversation, I found a much needed companion for the night and we went to my room. I may stay few days.

6 jumps to go to complete the 3rd leg of my Colonia journey. The Martini Galaxy in my port window has been my constant companion but has been obscured by space dust for several hours. 7k ly years is a lonely distance to travel fraught with it's share of perils.

Tonight I enjoy company and sleep on solid ground.
