Where do I even begin? Much stuff happened that I can't remember how did it start. Oh, right. I took off and visited Kusari again. Honshu system in particular. Naval forces have moved one of their battleships next to the jumpgate to Sigma-17 in order to destroy a base. That's because it wasn't licensed. The battleship firepower was fascinating. It all looked like giant fireworks. I wish I could stay a bit longer, but there was something more important to do. I moved my Falcon to Shikoku. First I took the trade lane on the left, which lead me to a jump gate. A jump was made. On the other side, a fairly creepy looking system showed its face. The trade lanes were surrounded by three dark nebulas. Nobody could ever force me to explore them! They were making thinks even creepier. Besides them, there was a jump gate, which I did not use. Instead, I returned to Shikoku to check the second jump gate. The second system was equally creepy. Same looking space and nebulas. I had read about zoners and their stations. They let anyone dock, which is crazy. Useful, but crazy. An installation like this I found right here. At the end of the trade lane connection, another jump gate was present. A trader was making his way through when I asked him if this is the right way. He did not answer, but I just jumped. It was the right way. It was a nice looking system with beautiful, yellow-glowing star. Their design of battleships looks so cool. This was Liberty for sure. A dockable planet wasn't missing too. Near the planet was a station, which is supposed to be the headquarters of the local police. Yet another jump gate was found, but I believe that would get me deeper into the house of Liberty, but I don't want that just yet. I prefer to do smaller steps frequently rather than making big steps time to time. Ageira is one of the big companies that Carmen told me about back then in Sigma-19. They had an installation in the system. Gates are everywhere. I found a third jump gate. It would take me further from Liberty. I was curious and jumped. Guess what? It was Galileo, the system I've been to already. The creepy one. On my return to Sigma-17, there were more battleships sieging the unregistered base in Honshu. Unfortunately, I was requested to leave and I obeyed. Home sweet home.
