Entry 0005a - Supplemental

CMDR's Log - Supplemental
11 Sep 3302

In reviewing my notes and camera footage from the day, I remembered a sobering discovery from the Asterope system. My navigation computer pinged to notify me of the presence of a degraded signal source, deep in the system.

What's this?

 I went to investigate. The computer calculated a low chance of threat (don't ask me how it does that. Probably some kind of algorithm or methodology or something), so I decided to drop out of supercruise. What I found was not especially fun.

Wreckage

What you're seeing there is most likely the wreckage of a deep-space explorer. They might have been on their way out, but considering they had a big stack of survey data, ready for delivery, they were probably on their way back in. This just makes my stupid oversight in Stuve's Lost Sector hit even harder. 

If I want to make it back to Nehet, I'd better stay frosty.

CMDR Aubrey Herreshoff,
Signing off.
