Chapter 12 - >>>Day3: 5728KM from point of origin

I took my time on the first two day. a mistake. 1000km per day won't get me anywhere. I need to step up my game. From this day onward I'll travel atleast 5000km a day. That would still take my 200+ days but it's still a progress. I'll increase the distance per day progressively. I now have four days worth of uranium.. I didn't wanted to be over stocked but oh boy, I Guaranteed It will run out. Uranium is never a problem.. I can scavenge those from derelicts. But ICE is nowhere to be found! and I only have ZERO units left. Now i'm breathing from the tank. The clock is ticking

It's the first day mining. I hope this'll work

"on the first mission to Infinity, you don't want someone falling ill or freaking out on the way--and Pete had checked out clearer than any of us. Then, seven days before departure, he went and died. The autopsy said his heart gave out, but I knew, from speaking to the doctors, that they could not find anything wrong with him. Dead, he presented as perfect a physical specimen as he had when alive. Me, I think he collapsed under the burden of hope that was placed upon him; mission "

I didn't have any ore detector. And the recent change to the system made filling up oxygen using medbay impossible. I need to make a Air bottle or I cannot leave this ship at. all.

I needed silver to make one. I have ZERO! So I look for component to dissemble. I have NONE that contain it! Clock's ticking so I tried my last resort: derelict. So I scanned immediently one tiny stationary was found very close to my position. It was worth the try. that tiny fighter has two small reactor. to reactor component worth 10 silver. So I had my bottle... After that is a struggle. ICE is a pain to find. Iron is everywhere I did found platinum first so I made an ore detector. after thatt

It's a breeze.

I survived. until Ebikko slammed head first into a rock because I forgot to turn on the spotlight..

Ebikko depressurised. whole front taken out along with the cockpit. It was a ♥♥♥♥♥♥ day.

I also reached character limit on my personal computer. Will move my journal to an ai core, as soon as I install the second one

During my travel, I kills time by reading the Phoenix republic handbook. It's a good read. I now have it's pamphlet on my wall, next to my cockpit.>>>>
