Lee's Diary - Pilot of The Narcotic

[Narcotic]

System: New Berlin
Location: Kreuzberg Depot, Hasir Bar.
Topic: Lurking through Rheinland.

Two days have passed now, since I reached Freeport 5. Today, I decided to continue my journey towards Rheinland Space. I bought ahead some repair modules, and fixed my ships hull, which got damaged by the high radiation, which had its source from the Neutron Star. So I undocked and moved along the safe area around the dying star. Soon I noticed a small freighters wreck, near the star's corona. I identified it as The Independence, a Clydesdale class vessel, which was owned by the Independent Miners Guild. I looted some remains of it and went towards the Omega-11 jumphole.

Red Hessian territory. The large sun glared at my ship. I even felt the heat, coming from it. I entered the Von Rohe Belt, a field consisting of large lava asteroids. My nav system told me, that diamonds can be found in that belt. But I wondered, who could mine here while being encountered the high radiation.

Following the borders of the belt, I arrived at an asteroid base, owned by the Red Hessians. I risked a quick view at it. But some unfriendly Hessian told me to move along.

I picked the Stuttgart Jumpgate as my next waypoint and cruised towards it. Soon, I passed a rather small planet, called Schutz. It looked like, as it gets slowly melted by the superioir red giant sun. Right behind it, protected by the small planet, Solaris Station hidden from the suns heat. It got constructed by the Daumann Heavy Construction. I had no clue what its purpose was. I guess they built it there as outpost for diamond miners. Greed for profit does not stop at the borders...

After jumping to Stuttgart, I passed the Konstanz Border Station, where I got stopped by the Rheinland Police. They scaned my whole ship for contraband. Unfortunately, they've found a small amount of Cardamine, which I used as small reserve for my breathing mask. Sure, actually I didn't needed it anymore. Or at least not that much. I had it there for a case of emergency. Anyways, after paying a small fine, I was allowed to move on. (I've been lucky, that they didn't found those alien remains, I collected in Kappa.)

I auto-docked at the first trade lane, since for months. I've been amazed, everytime I used those lanes. Such a relaxed form of traveling space. After a few minutes I passed Planet Baden Baden, and entered the next lane towards Planet Stuttgart.

I hurried, since I didn't wanted to get cought with those remains. So I ducked into the space traffic, infront of Battleship Karlsuhe, and took the last lane, leading to the New Berlin jumpgate.

Stuttgart. Next stop; New Berlin.

Arrived in New Berlin, I didn't took the lane, leading deeper into the capital system. Instead of that, I moved into the Ruhrfeld, a large debris field. Deep inside it, there must be a Junkers outpost, the Kreuzberg Depot. I prefered to take a room there, instead of risking anything. I mean, I still had those rare ingredients for a cloaking device aboard. First, I needed to find a contactman, who could help me constructing said device somewhere. Maybe I'll find someone at the Hasir Bar.
