Well today I woke up, very, very tired so I went to the express coffee maker for the best and fastest coffee in the galaxy (only for the low, low price of 10 scrap). Anyway I got breakfast and looked at my map and I jumped to the closest beacon and I must have not had enough of that coffee because I just FTL jumped almost directly into a star, this could have been the end of this little mantis, “oh great,"I said out loud to myself.” I jumped near a sun and now I have to wait for my FTL drive to charge while there is a chance of a solar flare,” which if you didn’t know causes internal fires inside of the ship and I also learned something that day, it’s to never say "this can't get any worse" because when I said that an auto-assault showed up out of nowhere, yea the auto-assault is the worse type of ship , it’s the kind of ship is made to kill without question. Well on the other claw, destroying this ship will not make me a killer. I powered up my shield system and got ready for a fight, and then a solar flare happened! I opened the doors to space in every room except the room I was in, the fire eventually suffocated. The auto-assault powered up its basic laser mk. II and shot down my shields temporarily, and then my shields came back online, their basic laser was not getting past my shields however, but that missile he just shot did. It hit the weapons station and took 1 of the 3 power. I'm so lucky I only needed two power to use my burst laser because I still had barely enough energy to still fire it. I shot it right in its engines when it was traveling towards the nearby sun after I destroyed the engines the auto assault flew directly into the sun and exploded in a magnificent display of burning AI. After that I just sat in the plotting room writing this entry, till the FTL drive was ready, amazingly there was not another solar flare during that time. Next, off to that nearby store beacon.
