Traveling through a dying system is an interesting experience. Once you are able to look past - and hear past - the deafening radiation klaxon of your jury-rigged falcon inside a never-ending cloud of radioactive sludge, there is a certain...well, otherness to it all. A reflection, perhaps, on the future of Liberty without drastic change. But I need not get so philosophical.

Navigational report is as follows. Grid squares are denoted in navmap order, rather than the order they were visited. System activity is still present, with several small bands of Rogues, Lane Hackers, and Bounty Hunters noted - though far fewer than previous, for obvious reasons.

A6-8: No objects of interest. Radioactive strength of the dark matter peaks along the A-line, up thirteen percent from sector center.
B6: Sector ingress point from Ontario, location of Ontario Jump Hole. Additionally, location of a wrecked Police Liberator, identified as 'Megion'. Doesn't appear as though they died as a result of the storm.
B7-8, C6-8: No objects of interest.
D6: Former location of the Ontario Jump Gate, and resting place of Red Deer Station. There appears to be no serious physical damage to the jump gate itself, but I'm no Ageira mechanic. Attempting a docking procedure caused a system hang.
D7-8: Location of the gas giant Calgary. More of a navigational hazard than an object of interest. Other than an increase in atmospheric radiation, composition of the planet appears unchanged.
E6-8, F6: No objects of interest.
F7: Location of Freeport 14 and Planet Beaver Creek. Evidently, for the moment, the Zoners are able to ride out the storm as it were. Systems on board the station seemed mostly functional, and I was able to receive a repair and refresh of my life support systems before heading out on my return journey.
F8: No objects of interest.
G6-8, H6-8: Edge of what was once the Cold Lake Nebula. Its signature gargantuan asteroids remain, and offer a minor amount of shielding from the radioactive storm. Otherwise, nothing of interest.
