I found a new girl near Fincien and decided to help her out a bit. Even if she just had gotten her sidewinder, she was not like the standard “and where are my new millions?” pilots. She looked thru the black board and did courier missions for some small bucks. But even more interesting: she barely had her license and the first thing she did was switch off the landing assist. Told me she wanted to learn how to fly and not let her ship fly. That when I saw she had the right spirit. I helped her with a few trading routes and ship selection. While I did some surface scanning, she had her cobra. Not long after that a type 6. We talked a bit about exploration and before I could talk to her again, she had an ASPx and headed of into the California. I had told her about something cool near the mahon base, but she told me nothing was there. I had visited those pumpkins before myself and I was quite sure they can not walk.

Seemingly I was wrong. I got back into my conda, jumped to the nebula myself, landed there and had to see it for myself. The complete field was gone. Has the research base relocated them? Or was that someone or something else?

Flying for nearly 5 month now and I am finally here. The opposite point of our galaxy. Beagle point. Sol is over 65kLY away. Not that I am connected to Sol in any way, but it feels strange. The last Station was at Sag A*. I something happens I am on my own. No station in the next 30kLY. But that is the true spirit of exploration, right? Being out here only with my loyal conda. Her FSD war running non stop the last hours. And she still runs fine. I packt 4 SRVs to get materials for AFMU refills and repair drones. I had not one percent of damage in the last 40kLY. But better you have everything and not need it as the other way around.

Anyway, I will stay here a bit longer. See if anyone shows up. I am still more than good on food and water, so there is no need to hurry. On my way back I will investigate at the locked areas behind Sag A*. Something tells me there is something that I should not find. Or perhaps that someone doesn’t want me to find.

I will restock at the new station at Sag A* and plan the second half of my way back from there. The most important thing is to sell the exploration data. I cant wait to see on how many stary, moons and so on I could get my name on. And most likely I will be officially Elite when I sell. Hopefully no one has taken my exact path and sells before me. Maybe I will stop at colonia again.

PS: miss rarity, I saw your name and it looks familiar. I should find you.

But I need to get in contact with the others. Seems like someone found new clews or something according to the zurara. So maybe my next stop will be the Rift (one again).
