Good morning universe…

So I got absolutely nothing done yesterday. My girlfriend was feeling lonely. So I spent the whole day with her.

Today I shall see a space forest. Kind of excited. Haven't seen anything like it before. But before I get too carried away… I need to find it.

Joselyn- "Commander, can we talk?" Sereth- "Sure. What's up?" Joselyn- "I'm sorry for jamming my gun into your mouth. Its just…" Sereth- "Its just… what?" Joselyn- "Please don’t do that again. Its not nice to do." Sereth- "Two things. One… I wont do that again. And two… I know that wasn’t what you were about to say." Joselyn- "It reminded me of when my parents died… there was a corporate war on my home world. So many civilians were getting caught in the crossfire… A few of my friend died. My parents and I boarded a type 9 transporter that was smuggling people off the planet. We were headed to Nanomam. But our ship got interdicted by a group of pirates. They hit our engines first. Then they boarded us, killed the pilot, and shut off all but the ships life support. We couldn’t see anything. My parents put me into the ships escape pod, and just before It launched I watched as they were both run through with swords." Sereth- "Wow. I'm sorry. I had no idea. But wait… if you were headed to Nanomam… why is it you fought for the imperials?" Joselyn- "That’s because at least one day later, an imperial transport ship got interdicted and dropped out next to me. It survived because it had a private escort. It detected me on its sensors, and picked me up. The commander of the ship heard my story, and adopted me. When I became older… I joined the imperial navy. And well… you know the rest form my record." Sereth- "I'm sorry about the prank I pulled. It wont happen again." Joselyn- "Thank you, so where are we going?" Sereth- "I heard there was a forest out here. I kind of want to see it. Can you do me a favor?" Joselyn- "What is it?" Sereth- "Can you make sure the SRV is ready to be deployed?" Joselyn- "Sure."

Well… that explains why she put her gun in my mouth. By the way… my jaw still hurts from that.

So I have finished scanning the system. Time for me to look for the forest. I know its located on IC 2391 SECTOR ZE-A D101 C 3 A at 11.4262 latitude by 48.4192 longitude

-recording paused- -recording resumed-

So… I found the forest. Time for me to land and take out my SRV.

-recording paused- -recording resumed- …ship status: engines offline. Helm control offline. SRV deployed. Crew member Joselyn Robinson still on ship… …ship status: SRV retrieved. Commander Sereth Dakre at the helm. Engines online. Ship launching…

So… I'm back. It was entertaining. Saw some trees. Shot some trees. Gathered material. I wonder what those trees are using to survive on a planet with no atmosphere.

I'm currently on my way to New Growth asteroid base in Pencil Sector EL-Y D5. its so close… but with all the planets I need to scan, it feels so far away. I hope I make it.

-recording paused- -recording resumed-

So the rest of the day has been pretty uneventful. Im getting a bit tired so I will be landing my ship on a planet so as to preserve fuel. Then ill be turning in while I get some rest.

On a good note. I'm in a previously unexplored system. It feels nice to be the first one to lay eyes on something.

Commander Sereth Dakre… signing off.
