It has been some time since I have made a black box recording... 10 weeks? Damn... well, there's a lot to share...

Since my last recording, I have made some friends. This group of people is known as Orbital Spa & Cruise. I have spent some time flying with their liners and getting to know them. I even saved one of them from colliding into Planet New Tokyo! A small transport came out of the trade lane and pushed the Breezewood into New Tokyo's atmosphere! Caitlyn Cross, OS&C's Director has taken notice of my efforts to assist the Breezewood during that event, and it has lead to us becoming friends.

With an overhaul to SR-45's systems, better armour, scanner, general check-ups and the like, it was the time to change my vessel's transponder signal to something else. Since SR-45 was someone else's name for this vessel, I decided to identify the Bustard as NX-01. Seabourne commented saying it sounded ominous, little does he know the plans I have for this vessel. This rebranding has caused minor confusion as I've now had to re-identify myself to others who knew me and my vessel as it's previous designation.

The defect was still an issue, and it still hasn't been fixed. I thought I'd use it to my advantage one time and perform some blind jumps. It's the kind of idea you think will be awesome, if not dangerous. Then once you do it, you realize how stupid it is. The amount of fuel expended just flying back to anything was too much. Had to drift the rest of the way to Waterloo Station in the New London System! Speaking of Bretonia, I had a good old chat with one of their officers about applying for a license to fly my ship legally within their space. It lead to the NX-01 being granted a permanent license to use it's surveying tools! At this point, it gave me an idea...

The databanks on board the NX-01 are quite limited in both capacity and security. The only thing that's real hard to get into is my Black Box. Everything else is as simple as plugin and download. Scanning systems and surveying sectors has lead me to create a gigantic hyperspatial map of Sirius. Albeit incomplete, the information did cap off my storage capacity. Plans were then drawn to build an installation somewhere to hold my hyperspatial library. The Libertonian Government wasn't quite as lenient as I'd thought they be. The rep who I was in contact with gave me a handful of areas where I was able to construct my facility, though none were in a favourable position. My eyes shifted from House Space to the independent and border worlds.

The Kepler System at the time just re-opened. Decided to go take a look and realized what the hazard buoys were there for. A dark matter storm engulfed the entire system, lightening, radiation, anomalies and wrecks everywhere. The only real safe space was outside Ames, in the center of the system. Despite the danger to any vessels passing through, I decided to bring over the construction platform and get to work on building Starflier Base. It was at this point I also put paperwork together to become contract explorers. If these hyperspacial scans and maps can help us, surely they could benefit others. So a business was formed to sell this information.

A while has passed since then. We have got a decent list of clients, some of which have come back to us to renew their orders! Universal Shipping was paid to reinforce and strengthen my facility and at this point they are almost done. During my flights to other sectors, I have come across other groups and factions that I didn't know existed. The Gas Mining Guild were not happy to see a research vessel like mine in their space and I was promptly escorted out. After bouncing transmissions between the two of us, they stated their Law prevents cartography and research to take place within the Sigma systems. Fair enough, we won't enter the Sigmas. Unless we want to go from Rheinland to Kusari really quick. A trip to Omicron Alpha also brought up something interesting. The Outcast group known as the Maltese Hyperspace Starfleet is willing to contract us for one kind of job or another - they haven't really said yet. The one condition they set is to not enter their home system. Just like the GMG, easy done.

An interesting encounter happened in one of the Tau systems. I bumped into an Auxo vessel. Technologically advanced, I believe they are also considered criminals and very hostile. After introducing myself, it seems they are somewhat interested in my background in exploration, and my goals with my company Starfliers. Seems they'd like to invest or help out with constructing new features on board our base. Perhaps I will let them, as any help is appreciated. Their request was pretty much word-for-word what the Dons on Malta told me, we will maybe provide assistance as long as you don't enter our home system. That's how Iverness became a no fly zone for us. Good times. With more potential clients and possibly more work to send me into more places, I sent off requests to the other Houses to allow my vessel free passage to operate. We'll see if I can get granted these licenses.
