Entry I.

07/05/828


Such an interesting day...
I've heard rumours about our relations with the Corsair Empire isn't as great as it used to be.
That's why I decided to board the Rebirth several hours earlier than the original plans so we can pay a visit to our old friends in the Omicrons.

The Rebirth

As soon as the flight plan was ready we took off from Torshavn Space Port and made our way to Omega-3 using the jump hole in the sector F2. The decision was made because local authorities are patrolling the main commercial routes very frequently and we didn't have time to waste.
As the Rebirth made its way from Cambridge jump hole to our next jump hole we paid a short visit to the Cruiser Greifswald before entering Omega-5. The crude atmosphere of Cadiz Base was magical as usual when we replenished our stocks there and after two hours of rest we took off once again to make our way into Omega-41.
The neutron star in this system radiates like not many other things in our universe so we took the long way around it to reach the jump hole to Omicron Gamma.
Since I didn't visit the system in the last 10 years, also never piloted my own ship into the system I was surprised at first.
As the last jump hole took us into the Gredos Cloud I really had to concentrate not to smash the Rebirth into the lava asteroids. We arrived at sector E5 and to our pleasant surprise, there were two Taurus capital ships - CNS-Naxos and CNS-Barbaros commanded by warship captains Kolkan and Mehmet - stationed next to Crete.
I was greatly pleased to notice that our friendship didn't die in general because they both greeted me and my crew as their brethren. After a considerably long conversation and sharing thoughts about the current situations throughout Sirius, they had a distress call from another system so we had to say bye to them.
The Rebirth suffered a shield capacitor failure while charging the cruise engines so we had to dock on Rhodes Shipyard for a quick repair before making our way back to Bretonia.

As a side note, I really hope our friendship with the corsairs can be much much deeper and we can have a mutually beneficial way of coexisting. I think in the near future I will have to speak more with them just to know about their intentions with Gaia.

The considerably professional crew of the Rhodes Shipyard gave us new shield capacitors and in return, I repaired some malfunctioning life support systems for their medical crew.
After they finished the assembly of our new capacitors we started planning our route back to Bretonia.

We took off from Rhodes Shipyard and started our journey back to Torshavn Space Port but on a different route to avoid any lurking threats.
The Rebirth entered the Omega-41 jump hole, engaged the cloaking device and rushed its way around the neutron star to enter Omega-49 as soon as possible.
We knew as soon as we leave Omega-41 we don't need to worry much about hostile ships in our tracks. Next to Gran Canaria, we sighted a ship which was most possibly a gunboat of the Bounty Hunters so we engaged the cloaking device once again and sailed past her while maintaining complete radio silence.
As the Rebirth left the estimated sensor range of the gunboat we decloaked and jumped into Dublin where we started a scouting mission that would take us through the New London system and then our final destination Torshavn Space Port in Cambridge.
It was weird not to see any authorities or logistics of Bretonia except a small B-27-E carrying scientists and food rations.
The crew also sighted a large transport ship in the distance which seemed to be a Kusari logistics vessel so we didn't bother with further identification. We landed on Torshavn and the crew occupied their quarters to take a nap and rest after this exhausting day.

The crew and the ship may be resting but I can't... I need to write our plans for the following day and arrange accommodation and supplies for us. Anyways... I should also take a nap and then finish this entry.

It's sometimes exhausting to be a protector of Gaia but the fact that we are on the right path to preserve civilisation is keeping the soul in all Gaians. Tomorrow I will reach out to potential allies and continue my mission with the Rebirth.
Also this new branch of the Corsair Empire... Named Taurus... They seem to be valuable allies and good friends for Gaia. I hope I meet them again in the near future.
