Through the Darkness of Space

by Lt Rainbow Slash
The journal of an explorer among the stars. Inspired by Elite: Dangerous

When I was a foal I always looked up at the stars with a sense of wonder. Just the idea that all of those little twinkling lights were other suns, many with other planets, some of which were inhabited by other ponies. It blew my young little mind. I knew I wanted to go out there and see what more was out there.

And that's exactly what I'm going to do.

I have a ship, exploration equipment, and enough dehydrated food to last a full fourteen months. I'm going where nopony has gone before. Who knows what I'll discover.

Here's hoping I don't go nuts after spending several months in such a small ship...
