~~Son of a motherfu-,Fuck me. I am so fucking exhausted. I've been up for 40 hours straight.~~

Celestia damnit. Ok.

Let me start at the beginning.

~~Today~~ Yesterday started out fine. I jumped a few times. Explored. Did my thing. I decided to go do a flyby of a ringed gas giant I found. I was actually on comms with my ~~friends~~ friend Storm Dust. I met her in 'Explorer School'. We're basically ~~besties~~ best friends (I also apparently can't spell when I'm ~~tyred~~ TIRED, fuck). She set off in her own Cobra a month before me. So yeah she called to have a chat.

I managed to be so distracted though that, instead of skimming the rings and getting an amazing video clip on my holoimager, I hit the rings. My FSD ~~immer~~ immediately dropped me from supercruise. As I came out I slammed into one of the icy chunks of ring. Hard. Like ~~almois~~ almost 300 meters a second hard. Luckily my windscreen held. Unluckily my reactor's containment failed.

When I regained consciousness my helmet had auto deployed cause the entire ship was being bathed in radiation. Not only that, but my FSD ~~sru~~ sprung a leak. I had to immediately got to work fixing them both.

I also cracked a rib.

As is it took me near 40 hours of nonstop work to make sure I wasn't going to die from radiation ~~poisning~~ poisoning.

Fucking hell. I'm going to bed.

Utterly dead on my hooves,
-Con
