Made it back to home in Tau Ceti, finally. Now I have to find if any of my family and friends have survived the Thargoid invasion... not how I imagined this whole "coming back from Christmas" thing.

The Thargoids' Plan: Revealed (Elite Dangerous)

[cmdr-h-of-the-woods]

08/12/3310 Current system: Fehu

I’ve made it back to civilisation. Not quite the Bubble, mind you. I’m a few jumps away from the nearest inhabited system and 468Ly from Sol. For months, I’ve been dreaming about this day. Finally talking with real humans, sitting down to eat proper food, renting a room with a comfortable bed. It didn’t turn out quite how I was expecting. I was finally able to catch up on the news and found out that the last Titan moved closer to the core systems, and that there are Thargoids all around Sol... and around Tau Ceti. My home. And, that multiple rescue megaships have been ambushed and destroyed. Haven’t heard back from any of my family or friends after I tried to contact them.

This is overwhelming.

I just wanted a haircut and a cup of tea.

They’re here...

Things are happening... Sol might burn.

This return trip is taking longer than I was hoping. I am really not that far from the Bubble anymore, but things are... weird. There’s something wrong with Witchspace travel. More whispers than usual. I’ve wondered if the thing that haunted my ship over the past few months has found my trace. But sometimes it’s different. A blip. Like a signal from someone nearby. I’ve caught glimpse of an Adder somewhere. An explorer in distress? A trap? Either way, jumping between systems doesn’t feel safe. I might have to take the long way home.

First humans I’m seeing in 201 days. I’m afraid I no longer know how to people.

Found a big gas giant sitting just 3 ls from its star. I’m slowly making my way back to the Bubble. If I can stick to this route, I’m only about 25 jumps away from the nearest inhabited system.

I did it. I’ve left this desolate piece of rock and jumped through a few systems. Never thought I’d say this, but I’m looking forward to returning to civilisation. Eating proper food. Maybe even... saying hello to a friendly face.

I hope whatever was on that planet hasn’t followed me. It’s driven me mad. So mad. But the journey home is going to take a while. Surely long enough to quarantine.

An update from CMDR H

18/07/3310 Whuedaea PE-E d13-3. Some 1,300 Ly under Sol.

Been stuck on this damn rock for weeks now. I don’t understand what’s wrong with my ship. She had been making a few weird noises, but nothing out of the ordinary. I did a thorough walkaround, tightened a few bolts that were a bit too loose, checked all the fluids, but she just won’t let me leave. Habitat systems are working at least, and I still have some food and water supplies. Besides, I had picked up some Frutexa Acus and Tussock Ventusa a few systems ago, so I can still make some kind of (expensive) salad and be okay for a bit longer before I really have to start worrying.

It’s not even about the food or water. There’s something else. Thought I was hearing things in the wind, but there isn’t even an atmosphere on this body, so... can’t be the wind. Just strange noises. Clicks and whispers that don’t seem to come from the ship. And then there are the shadows. They’re... off. It’s like they don’t look right. Like they’re hiding something moving just out of my sight. Radar and scanners don’t pick up anything. Of course.

Am I starting to lose it? Or is there something out there? I’m afraid to get out of my ship. At least I’m safe in here. I think?

//My queue has run out and I haven’t been playing much at all lately. Hoping to get back into the game soon, at least if it doesn’t get too hot for me to stay in my room. o7 everyone.//

There was no Stratum tectonicas in this system, but the samples I collected still netted me some 120 million credits.

Gotta love a ship that can land in the mountains.

Been a few weeks since I was able to go anywhere. I've been so tired lately. I could have punched in a destination and let all the flight assist systems take over, but there was little point in going anywhere if I was just going to stay in my bunk sleeping all day.

I recently saw on a feed that Taranis, the first of the invading titans, has been completely destroyed! And it looks like Leigong might be next very soon.

[cmdr-h-of-the-woods]

... still we wait.

One of you guys is going to have to move...

I haven't been doing much in terms of the Thargoid war. I'm not a combat pilot, not have I done much in the way of trade. But, since I am at the right place at the right time, I've decided to help bring some commodities to further the research into bringing the fight to the Titans. So many ships flocked to YZ Ceti that the auto launch systems of many ships seemed a little overwhelmed when it came to going through the airlock.
