Day 16: Emergency

28 November, 3603
Day 16
4,000LY from Cel

Son of a motherfu-,Fuck me. I am so fucking exhausted. I've been up for 40 hours straight.

Celestia damnit. Ok.

Let me start at the beginning.

Today Yesterday started out fine. I jumped a few times. Explored. Did my thing. I decided to go do a flyby of a ringed gas giant I found. I was actually on comms with my friends friend Storm Dust. I met her in 'Explorer School'. We're basically besties best friends (I also apparently can't spell when I'm tyred TIRED, fuck). She set off in her own Cobra a month before me. So yeah she called to have a chat.

I managed to be so distracted though that, instead of skimming the rings and getting an amazing video clip on my holoimager, I hit the rings. My FSD immer immediately dropped me from supercruise. As I came out I slammed into one of the icy chunks of ring. Hard. Like almois almost 300 meters a second hard. Luckily my windscreen held. Unluckily my reactor's containment failed.

When I regained consciousness my helmet had auto deployed cause the entire ship was being bathed in radiation. Not only that, but my FSD sru sprung a leak. I had to immediately got to work fixing them both.

I also cracked a rib.

As is it took me near 40 hours of nonstop work to make sure I wasn't going to die from radiation poisning poisoning.

Fucking hell. I'm going to bed.

Utterly dead on my hooves,
-Con

Good job. You win the gold medal in crashing.

Wait, fourteen months? You're going to need a lot more food than that if you want to reach another planet, let alone another star.
