Libro de Bitacora

Cmdr Akako Higanjima
Exploración, Contrabandista
There's a race of men that don't fit in,
A race that can't sit still;
So they break the hearts of kith and kin,
And they roam the world at will.
They range the field and rove the flood,
And they climb the mountain's crest;
Their's is the curse of the gypsy blood,
And they don't know how to rest.

Nothing too noteworthy in this log, I'm afraid. No new discoveries, no Terraformables... hardly even anything worth scanning. It still made me a good chunk of change at the end of the day though, if only by sheer force of numbers, so I can't be too upset about it.


Heading back towards populated space... I feel grateful, and excited - I can't wait to see what my payout will be - but also a bit sad. Like I'm missing out on something by turning around. But there's only so far my little Adder can take me - and every byte of data that I sell gets me a few steps closer to an Asp.


Oh. And I pledged my allegiance to Pranav Antal. Why not Li Yong-Rui, who directly supports my profession? What can I say? Antal makes a charismatic argument. And he's easy on the eyes, which isn't something to be underestimated, for a woman who spends weeks at a time lost among the sta--


...What the hell do you mean, he's seventy-six? 


Goddamn. I can only hope I age so gracefully. Maybe there's something to his "Utopia" after all...


Brb, rethinking life choices.

Notes: This system though. Discovery Scanner pinged fifty-six astronomical objects when I landed on the star. Granted, most of them are moons on the Jovians.

Double scan glitch, why do you vex me so.


At the very least, that phantom K-class in ZU-Y D54 has finally been pinned down; when I got here a few days ago, it drove me insane that I couldn't quite find it with my limited Discovery Scanner. An upgrade to the Advanced model has found it for me. Frustrating that I'm realizing now, as I make the ~272,000ls trip to ZU-Y D54 B, I had indeed found it visually, without sensors, when I first arrived here - I just got impatient and gave up heading in the right direction.


Tomorrow I head for Klikis - god-awful, backwards, anarchistic system that it is. It's the only system within 400 light-years that has a station for me to offload my data at.
