>>12087606I'm a contractor, the company lately handed out SAR gigs and with the lack of options around here r n, I took the bite. Turns out some 14200brt escort vette never resumed pinging after blackout period and the last node and vector of their flight path suggested, they were dipping into high atmosphere of this shithole planet. You know, the fun zone with all he storms and thick neural gas wakes from that mining accident bout 3000sols ago? So I siliconed my old Cobray up, cus you really don't want contamination and headed out. Day two, 8 hours in on the sensors yelling at wakes 500m out and reflective wakes 500m away yelling at my sensors it's starting really to get exciting, when my starboard fuel rail starts pinging again and I have to reroute... the price for having these old pre ban hyperionized aerospikes, I guess, but they are way worth it. I tell you man, the pickup man...
Yea well turns out I'm crawling because of sensor range, but still this airframe, I love it. Out of nowhere this fucking giant massive thing pops up and I'm sliding straight into it. I'm giving it a purge and simultanious emergrncy rotaté into a dead reverse vector. I just barely match up my V with this fucker... Actually I don't, because I'm inside it. A cavity... Pop my floods and It looks crusty, about as crusty as cargo bays on mining carriers... and it turns out, that it's indeed just a bit more crusty with all the gamma radiation going on here. You now wonder how I'm in an "air tight" compartment of a mining carrier and still streaming, or the fuck, hvy mining carriers fuck around this low over company bodies.
I was wondering that too.
Thing's completely burnt out, bays imploded and the reactors clearly banana'd it. Without propulsion this fucker will just stay in this semi stable orbit for at least another 60sols. Good thing is, it's integrity should be alright and it's loaded.
Trading data for legal salvage! Only took up what my Cobray c'd hold, It's virtually untouched.
