Days of waiting have paid off. I finally found another Comm cannister left by her. I was very excited to know more about her journey. It also a confirmation that I'm going the right way, and it feels great. Progress!

///NMS Pathfinder - Day 51///

I spent most days either sleeping or tending twenty-six square meter of enclosed hull. I used to dreamed of having a whole universe to explore. It wasn't how I imagined it, but despite the endless field of stars beyond thin glass, I failed to make myself believe that I had found that perfect paradise I had always wanted.

This will be fourteenth cannister I've dropped. I don't really expect anything improbable, since space is infinite in all directions. Maybe someone will find it and make a memorial of me millions years later?

I am getting one day closer to her. At this rate, I will catch up on the next 30 days. I pray that she'd be alive and well until the day I find her.
