Day 1 03.07.cy113
this is going to be the log of Vena Cava Sagan (currently Clone 0)
what a strange life this is...flying about in a bubble in the berth of a giant space ship...a "capsuleer" huh? i've always dreamt of space flight and though this is an odd route to take i will now finally get to show the world what i'm made of. the holovids of Carl Sagan's Cosmos keep me open to new ideas and ways of thinking, perhaps i can find my place in this world.
over my years i've learned that in the ancient times someone like me would have required glass coverings called "glasses" over the eyes because i am what is commonly called "near sighted" fortunately in our current age i was able to get ocular implants and though i have what appears to be the absence of an iris it is in fact a correction.
i recently transferred to University of Caille as an art student of the Gallente Federation, here i will learn above and beyond my artistic skills so as to broaden my mind and develop myself further. my instructor here at University of Caille is Aura Bourynes, she is an AI construct but seems skilled in the ways of educating new capsuleers like me.
Aura taught me how to get in my capsule and fly it around...damn capsules are small yet suprisingly comfortable...now i have a Velator which i have named Blood Cell after the cell which carries oxygen to the necessary cells in your body. i will continue to name my vessels in such a fashion.
having finished basic ship control (damn, going warp is INSANE) and weapons training i have gone to visit the Pozirblant system...there was a fleet stationed at the Academy there. much can be said of the Gallentian ship design aesthetics. i find myself gravitating towards both the Gallente Megathron Battleship and the Gallente Hyperion Battleship. they seem to recall some ancient design perhaps back from where us humans originated something akin to the anime holo-vid Space Battleship Yamato. must keep these ships in mind for future purchase.
after following Aura's instruction i went to the Trossere system and met with an agent. i am following the Exploration track because exploring has always been my passion, seeking the edges of the known (and unknown) cosmos, seeing the unseen and expanding my horizons. i met with Potillot Mumnier and started my first foray into scanning for cosmic anomalies.
after a taste of that i moved on to scanning cosmic signatures. apparently they come in different types: magnetometric, gravimetric, radar and ladar. gravimetric sites contain asteroids to mine, magnetometric contain wreckage and ghost ships, radar contain radar systems i can hack and ladar contain gas clouds i can harvest. the most interesting sounds like magnetometric by far and perhaos the ladar locations.
i recevied a Navitas from Potillot, i have named it Vein I and hope to fly many a mission with it. Blood Cell is still with me but she is in the hangar.
so my first experience with scanning wasn't easy, i tried following the tutorials provided by University of Caille but i had to check VidTube for assistance.
so ends my first day in New Eden, i know it's just the beginning of a madenning adventure.
