Welcome back to \u201cFar from home.\u201d Appreciate all of you tuning in. Hopefully there\u2019ll be a little less static this time around as I managed to find a new broadcast board for my comm array. Had to snap it in half and rewire it back to front to make the damn thing fit the ol\u2019 lady, but luckily Shana\u2019s always been pretty accommodating when it comes to me fiddling about underneath her skirt. Got to appreciate that about the \u201832 Lancer. Sure they break, but it is one fun ship to fix. Hell, if the co-pilot seat hadn\u2019t fallen out would I have ever thought to put in the mini-cooler?\n\nFor those of you keeping track, I\u2019m floating above Hyperion right now. Man, it is a sight. Down below the dust storms are a nuisance at best, and a killer at worst, but up here they make for one magnificent sunrise. Swung by Fora for a stop \u2019n\u2019 fill and some of those meat stick things they have at Purgatory. I don\u2019t eat a lot of meat these days, but when I do, for whatever reason, I sure as certain want that flesh served to me on a stick. Something primal about it maybe. Being up here on your own you get to know yourself a little better than most, but that\u2019s the cerebral part. The deep part. The other part, the physical part, well you get disconnected from your caveman DNA that says fire good and meat stick better. Give me a horizon and sky above, and I completely regress to a primitive. I hate to imagine what people think of me when I do go planetside. Jack knows me well enough by now that when he sees me coming he just sets out the extra napkins and waits till I\u2019m done eating before even attempting civilized conversation.\n\nIt was Jack who pointed me in the way of the Aurora that I reclaimed the broadcast board from. The poor thing had crash landed a few days prior. From nearest they can tell the pilot had laid in a course for Hyperion when it happened. Died right at the stick. Just sort of gently slumped forward and that was that. Lucky enough, his aim was true and the ship crashed smacked dab into the planet. A little to the left or right and who knows how long till someone would have found him. Though I guess if he had crashed into the sun instead he would have saved everyone a little trouble when it came time to see to the funeral, but then again, I got my board out of it. Never understand those people who shake their head at salvage, like there\u2019s something distasteful about picking clean the bones. That\u2019s how nature sees fit to do it. Imagine if there weren\u2019t those hyenas, and skallons, and bugs and what not making use of the dead? Why we\u2019d be drowning in corpses, or to complete the analogy, wading neck deep through shipwrecks. Reclaim and reuse, I say. Anyway, thanks to that Aurora pilot. I hope he found his way in the end.\n\nNow, some of you have taken to sending me comms with questions on flying solo or asking for advice on surviving out in the black, so I figured I could do another pass at answering some of those inquiries for you today.\n\nGot one here from Calton out of Corel who asks, \u201cAny tricks for avoiding boarders while you\u2019re sleeping?\u201d Calton here is suffering from an affliction that I find hits most people when they first start going solo. I call it \u2018Sleep Madness.\u2019 People lie down in their berths with nothing but the hum of the filters to fill their thoughts, and their minds begin to wander. What if my ship drifts into the sun? What if an asteroid crashes into me? What if my berth gets stuck and I can\u2019t open it and I die screaming for help? What if outlaws find me? My initial answer to all of these is the same. It might happen. Kind of what makes life so awesome in some regards. But to be honest, in my 20 plus years of floating out here, I ain\u2019t seen it yet. I take precautions, though. Main one being powering down every system except for life support before I go to bed. Makes your ship all kinds of hard to spot and severely limits the chances of something going wrong. Of course the downside to all that is when trouble does hit, it may take a while to spin everything back up. Not always such a bad thing though.\n\nNever had outlaws hit me while I was sleeping, but two years in I did have a \u2019Duul-Navy fight break out right off stern not a kilometer away. My first instinct was to run and I\u2019m fairly certain if I had that would have been the end of me. Instead, since everything was shut down, I had no choice but to sit there and bite my fingers raw. Saved my life. I was flying in a Starfarer back then. Rebuilt her thrusters myself.\n\nHopefully that helps you sleep a little better, Calton.\n\nLet\u2019s see, what else can I answer. Got one from Trin right here in Fora. Asks, \u201cGot any good book recommendations?\u201d Well now that is a great question. The answer of course is anything in the Burning Skies series. People say it\u2019s for the younger set, but tell that to my racing heart after I get through one of those epic battle scenes. They really got it all. Action, comedy, even a little romance. Just enough to preserve the mystery if you know what I mean. I say start at the beginning, but if you\u2019re just going to read one, you could do a lot worse than \u201cOne Last Dawn.\u201d I won\u2019t give anything away, but comm me your opinion of that bit where they\u2019re all singing after you\u2019ve read it.\n\nWell crap. I was going to answer a bunch more, but time got the better of me. Still have some work to do before the solar flares hit. Keep sending me questions, and until next time, remember that even though you\u2019re flying alone, you\u2019re never alone.\n\nOld Jegger signing off.","de_DE":"Hey, Leute. Willkommen zur\u00fcck bei \"Far from home\". Ich sch\u00e4tze es sehr, dass ihr euch alle eingeschaltet habt. Hoffentlich wird es diesmal etwas weniger statisch sein, da ich es geschafft habe, eine neue Sendeplatine f\u00fcr mein Comm-Array zu finden. Ich musste es in zwei H\u00e4lften schneiden und wieder nach vorne verkabeln, um das verdammte Ding passend f\u00fcr die alte Dame zu machen, aber zum Gl\u00fcck war Shana immer ziemlich entgegenkommend, wenn es darum ging, dass ich unter ihrem Rock herumfummelte. Ich muss das mit dem 32er Lancer verstehen. Sicher, sie brechen, aber es ist ein lustiges Schiff zu reparieren. Zum Teufel, wenn der Beifahrersitz nicht herausgefallen w\u00e4re, h\u00e4tte ich jemals daran gedacht, den Mini-K\u00fchler einzusetzen?\n\nF\u00fcr diejenigen unter Ihnen, die den \u00dcberblick behalten, schwebe ich gerade \u00fcber Hyperion. Mann, das ist ein Anblick. Unterhalb der Staubst\u00fcrme sind sie bestenfalls l\u00e4stig und schlimmstenfalls t\u00f6dlich, aber hier oben sorgen sie f\u00fcr einen herrlichen Sonnenaufgang. Von Foren geschaukelt, um einen Stop 'n' fill zu machen, und einige dieser Fleischst\u00fccke kleben an Dingen, die sie im Fegefeuer haben. Ich esse heutzutage nicht viel Fleisch, aber wenn ich es tue, aus welchem Grund auch immer, will ich sicher sein, dass mir das Fleisch auf einem Stock serviert wurde. Etwas Urspr\u00fcngliches daran vielleicht. Wenn man allein hier oben ist, lernt man sich selbst etwas besser kennen als die meisten anderen, aber das ist der zerebrale Teil. Der tiefe Teil. Der andere Teil, der physische Teil, gut, du wirst von deiner H\u00f6hlenmensch-DNA getrennt, die sagt, dass Feuer gut und Fleisch besser haftet. Gib mir einen Horizont und Himmel \u00fcber mir, und ich gehe v\u00f6llig zur\u00fcck zu einem Primitiven. Ich hasse es, mir vorzustellen, was die Leute von mir halten, wenn ich auf den Planeten gehe. Jack kennt mich inzwischen gut genug, dass er, als er mich kommen sieht, nur die zus\u00e4tzlichen Servietten auspackt und wartet, bis ich mit dem Essen fertig bin, bevor er \u00fcberhaupt zivilisierte Gespr\u00e4che f\u00fchrt.\n\nEs war Jack, der mich auf den Weg der Aurora wies, von der ich die Sendeplatine zur\u00fcckforderte. Das arme Ding war ein paar Tage zuvor abgest\u00fcrzt. Aus n\u00e4chster N\u00e4he k\u00f6nnen sie erkennen, dass der Pilot einen Kurs auf Hyperion gesetzt hatte, als es passierte. Starb direkt am Stock. Es ist nur eine Art sanfter Einbruch nach vorne und das war's. Gl\u00fccklicherweise war sein Ziel wahr und das Schiff st\u00fcrzte mit einem Schlag auf den Planeten. Etwas nach links oder rechts und wer wei\u00df, wie lange, bis jemand ihn gefunden h\u00e4tte. Obwohl ich sch\u00e4tze, wenn er stattdessen in die Sonne gelaufen w\u00e4re, h\u00e4tte er allen ein wenig \u00c4rger erspart, wenn es darum ging, die Beerdigung zu sehen, aber andererseits habe ich mein Brett da rausgeholt. Niemals die Leute verstehen, die bei der Bergung den Kopf sch\u00fctteln, als ob es etwas Widerw\u00e4rtiges daran g\u00e4be, die Knochen zu pfl\u00fccken. So h\u00e4lt die Natur es f\u00fcr richtig, dies zu tun. Stell dir vor, es g\u00e4be nicht diese Hy\u00e4nen, Skallons, K\u00e4fer und K\u00e4fer und was w\u00e4re, wenn man die Toten nicht ausnutzen w\u00fcrde? Warum wir in Leichen ertrinken w\u00fcrden, oder um die Analogie zu vervollst\u00e4ndigen, waten wir tief durch Schiffswracks. Zur\u00fcckgewinnen und wiederverwenden, sage ich. Wie auch immer, dank dieses Aurora-Piloten. Ich hoffe, er hat am Ende seinen Weg gefunden.\n\nNun, einige von euch haben es \u00fcbernommen, mir Comms mit Fragen zum Fliegen solo zu schicken oder um Ratschl\u00e4ge zum \u00dcberleben in der Dunkelheit zu bitten, also dachte ich, ich k\u00f6nnte einen weiteren Durchgang machen, um einige dieser Anfragen f\u00fcr euch heute zu beantworten.\n\nIch habe hier einen von Calton von Corel, der fragt: \"Irgendwelche Tricks, um das Internat zu umgehen, w\u00e4hrend du schl\u00e4fst?\" Calton hier leidet unter einem Leiden, das ich bei den meisten Leuten finde, wenn sie zum ersten Mal solo gehen. Ich nenne es \"Schlafwahnsinn\". Die Menschen legen sich in ihre Liegepl\u00e4tze mit nichts als dem Summen der Filter, um ihre Gedanken zu f\u00fcllen, und ihr Verstand beginnt zu wandern. Was, wenn mein Schiff in die Sonne driftet? Was ist, wenn ein Asteroid auf mich trifft? Was passiert, wenn mein Liegeplatz festsitzt und ich ihn nicht \u00f6ffnen kann und ich sterbe und um Hilfe schreie? Was ist, wenn die Gesetzlosen mich finden? Meine erste Antwort auf all dies ist die gleiche. Es k\u00f6nnte passieren. Das macht das Leben in mancher Hinsicht so fantastisch. Aber um ehrlich zu sein, in meinen mehr als 20 Jahren hier drau\u00dfen zu treiben, habe ich es noch nicht gesehen. Ich treffe jedoch Vorsichtsma\u00dfnahmen. Haupts\u00e4chlich wird jedes System au\u00dfer der Lebenserhaltung abgeschaltet, bevor ich ins Bett gehe. Macht Ihr Schiff allerlei schwer zu erkennen und begrenzt die Chancen, dass etwas schief geht. Nat\u00fcrlich ist der Nachteil bei allem, was passiert, wenn \u00c4rger auftritt, kann es eine Weile dauern, bis alles wieder in Gang kommt. Aber nicht immer so eine schlechte Sache.\n\nNiemals hatten mich Gesetzlose geschlagen, w\u00e4hrend ich schlief, aber zwei Jahre sp\u00e4ter hatte ich einen Duul-Navy-Kampf, der direkt am Heck ausbrach, nicht einen Kilometer entfernt. Mein erster Instinkt war es, zu rennen, und ich bin mir ziemlich sicher, ob ich das getan h\u00e4tte, das w\u00e4re das Ende von mir gewesen. Stattdessen hatte ich keine andere Wahl, als mich dort zu setzen und mir die Finger roh zu bei\u00dfen, da alles stillgelegt war. Er hat mir das Leben gerettet. Ich bin damals in einem Starfarer geflogen. Ich habe ihre Triebwerke selbst wieder aufgebaut.\n\nHoffentlich hilft dir das, ein wenig besser zu schlafen, Calton.\n\nMal sehen, was kann ich noch beantworten. Ich habe einen von Trin hier in Fora bekommen. Fragt: \"Hast du irgendwelche guten Buchempfehlungen?\" Nun, das ist eine gro\u00dfe Frage. Die Antwort ist nat\u00fcrlich alles aus der Serie Burning Skies. Die Leute sagen, es ist f\u00fcr das j\u00fcngere Set, aber erz\u00e4hlen Sie das meinem rasenden Herzen, nachdem ich eine dieser epischen Kampfszenen durchlaufen habe. Sie haben wirklich alles. Action, Kom\u00f6die, sogar ein wenig Romantik. Gerade genug, um das Geheimnis zu bewahren, wenn du wei\u00dft, was ich meine. Ich sage, fang am Anfang an, aber wenn du nur eine lesen willst, k\u00f6nntest du viel schlimmer sein als \"One Last Dawn\". Ich werde nichts verraten, aber komm mir deine Meinung \u00fcber den Teil, in dem sie alle singen, nachdem du ihn gelesen hast.\n\nNun, Mist. Ich wollte noch ein paar mehr beantworten, aber die Zeit wurde immer besser f\u00fcr mich. Wir haben noch einiges zu tun, bevor die Sonneneruptionen losgehen. Schicken Sie mir weiterhin Fragen, und denken Sie bis zum n\u00e4chsten Mal daran, dass Sie, obwohl Sie allein fliegen, nie allein sind.\n\nDer alte Jegger meldet sich ab.","zh_CN":"Hey, folks.
