Oh Gods, it's been so long since I read the QEC. 3 year units, in fact.
|
|
|
|
After the relations disaster that was the Malkonkordo encounter, I entered
|
|
evasive maneuvers when the ship detected enemies in the vicinity. This
|
|
includes, amongst other things, turning off biomed sensors and kicking the fuel
|
|
conversion into overdrive. I kept this up until the enemies seemed to
|
|
disappear. A manual verification confirmed that the enemies had, in fact, left
|
|
the area. Meanwhile, we were only a few sectors away from our target planet.
|
|
|
|
I decided to check the QEC, only to find that Dekaoso Prime had fallen, and the
|
|
Malkonkordo suddenly didn't care about destroying me. Following Dekaoso Prime's
|
|
final warning, I left the teletry data withheld, preventing my location from
|
|
being found. I also managed to get the ship to tell me where we were going,
|
|
although I left the location as vague as possible in my report, again to avoid
|
|
detection. Sector 656233e, of the Starfield-Beta system, has many viable
|
|
planets and may be the new home-system for Terrans. Most of the planets don't
|
|
seem to have much in the way of intelligent life -- or, rather, life that is
|
|
intelligent in the way Terrans are -- which makes a landing almost risk-free.
|
|
|
|
For once, we might be going somewhere.
