Today was a day when me and the crew took time away from mining.
I installed several of my cargo bays with equipment and personal:
Cargo Bay 1: Mobile Medical Unit Cargo Bay 2: Research Corp Cargo Bay 3: Reconnaissance Module Cargo Bay 4: Survey Team
We were initially joined by DSM)-G.W.Bulldog captained by Daverson "Mr Daverson" Romeia.
Proceeding out from Vespucci to Magellan, we explored and entered a wormhole to Cortez then took scans of the system.
Next jump was into Coronado system, where my ship experienced system wide failures.
I dont know what happened to DSM)-G.W.Bulldog in this time, nor have we had contact with the Captain since.
The ships navigation systems failed and we drifted some 150k from the nearest planet that i could see from the onboard visual screen.
My engineers worked tirelessly to restore power to critical systems.
Once scanner's were operational we detected another ship heading towards a large ice field. With half our engines power restored we followed.
A freelancer base called Barrier Gate Station was a welcome sight and we docked for repairs, we also upgraded The Utth's weapons, armor, engines and key systems.
During the time it took for the automated refit, i took leave to the local bar's to glean information about the system...money was exchanged and we had some navigational information.
Saying our farewells to the Barrier Gate Station we proceeded to the jump hole coordinates we were given and jumped into a system called Baffin. A welcome sight to see the zoner's ships on the other side in the dense ice cloud that surrounded us.
We headed towards the distant sun whose light we could see through the dense ice cloud, as we had no real idea what lay ahead.
On exiting the cloud our visual scans of our surroundings, i saw a station orbiting a large orange planet.
We approached caustiously as we knew it might be a Zoner station but you can never tell.
It turned out to be a TAZ(Zoner) Station called Shasta Orbital Skyhook, we docked had a very welcoming time in the food courts and then after some rest, decided to make our way home back to Vespucci.
