A big step was made. Sigma-17 now isn't the only system I've been to. Now, Sigma-19 made its way into the list. I used the jump gate in Sigma-17 to get there. What a beautiful system! Not as beautiful as Sighma-17 though. A small blue planet was located near the system centre. Suddenly, as if it was playing hide and seek, a huge ship was placed behind the planet. They called it Luxury Liner Hawaii. It sure was luxury! Expensive foods, drinks and rooms. Not something I could afford at the moment. It belonged to a corporation called Spa And cruise, which has Libertonian origins as well as the Cryer. What took my interest was a green nebula in the northern section of the system. It was as creepy as the green nebula in Sigma-17. I found a jump hole, right off the bat. I keep distance from the jump holes. I never know where they lead. Behind yet another planet, danger awaited me. A massive ship was standing still near the planet. It seemingly did not like my presence, so I escaped into a giant blue nebula, right next to the green one. It contained more jump gates, but besides them, it had trade lane connections. They sure make things easier when it comes to travelling. At the end of the second connection, I discovered a new base. Now I know that GMG stands for gas miners guild. They mine noble gases and trade them across the Sirius. On my way back I had an encounter with a freelancer mercenary. Her name was Carmen. I asked her how to easily make money in this beautiful place. Now I know there are two options for me. Either I use my small vessel to trade with resources, or I become a mercenary too. The second option would work better for me. I guess I start to hunt the baddies. She told me one more thing. I should avoid the northern green nebula. I partially figured that out myslelf when I found that giant ship that attacked me. Next time I will find my way to the Kusari house. Perhaps I will find a job out there.
