Day 25
7,794LY from Cel
Well. I covered a ton of space today. Found some great stuff too.
My first big discovery of the day was an inhabitable water world. Inhabitable in the loosest sense of the word though. The atmosphere was breathable, and gravity was about half Equis standard. The atmosphere was only half as dense at the surface though. If I had gone straight from my pressurized ship to the surface I would have had some difficulties. Like if a diver dives or ascends too quick. Basically 'the bends' but in reverse, and without extra oxygen.
At lunch I found a pair of beautiful binary ringed planets. I set down to have lunch. But damn, the view took my breath away.
Absolutely beautiful.
After that I set course for a nearby nebula. By nearby I mean a full 1000LY distant but whatever. That's 'nearby' in galactic terms. I'll prolly be there by tomorrow or the day after that.
I found a couple more water worlds to finish off the day. It was just after dinner Sky called. My older brother. He's headed down to the Platois Cluster. You know. Where all the damned Thargoids have been?
He'd just gotten it into his thick skull to head down to those stations that got attacked and help with the evacuations. And he wanted somepony to fly his parasite fighter from his Anaconda. Sky being Sky he had decided I'd love to do it, and instead of hiring a pilot he called me.
He was right. Fighters are fun as hell.
I joined his ship via telepresence golem (of course he just had one laying around in my exact dimensions...Celestia damn it Sky if I was any other pony it would be creepy.) We immediately set to work evacuating ponies off the Oracle station, making several runs to the large rescue ships with evacuees. Of course where there are vulnerable ponies there are others who wish to prey on them.
A group of ten or so overly ballsy pirates made a run on one of the rescue ships, just as we were heading in to drop off some evacuees. I launched in my fighter and joined a dozen other ships engaging the scum. I canned two: A Cobra Mk. IV and a Python. Sky shot down a third Eagle.
I helped for a few hours before I called it a night. It's after 3am and I'm completely exhausted.
Nice to be back in my own body...and bed.
Had a good day,
