Thanks for tuning in to hear this old dog howl about this and that. Hopefully, I spit out something that strikes a chord or makes you feel a little less lonely about the vacuum of space wrapped around your ship.\n\nStrange to think about that, isn\u2019t it? That only a bit of metal separates you from, well, nothing. I realize that\u2019s something we all take for granted in this day and age, but it\u2019s a pretty spectacular feat when you think about it. Goes to show that just because something is common that doesn\u2019t mean it ain\u2019t incredible too.\n\nIn fact, I\u2019d argue that a lot of stuff we take for granted today is pretty incredible, if you really think about it. Like how our lenses just feed us all this info. Or how about those Torpedo Burrito vending machines? Honestly, I\u2019ve never gotten a burrito from one of those things that wasn\u2019t delicious and perfectly wrapped. The engineering and maintenance that must go into ensuring that level of consistency across the Empire is just astonishing.\n\nAnyways, not sure if you can tell, but I\u2019m in a contemplative mood at the moment. Just had one of those experiences that makes you stop and take stock of things. Now, don\u2019t you worry about Old Jegger. Everything\u2019s gonna be ok and, in fact, I\u2019m probably better off because of it. In my opinion, it\u2019s good to get your cage rattled every once in a while. Keeps you on your toes, so you don\u2019t get caught flat-footed.\n\n\u2019Cause it\u2019s those simple, small things we all take for granted that can really come back to kick you in the keester if you\u2019re not careful. For me, it was a reminder that no matter where you are in this universe, you can\u2019t take your safety for granted.\n\nIt all started after I made a few modifications to Shana. I met a hauler at a Covalex in Baker who recommended a few tweaks and, well, they worked like a charm. They made Shana\u2019s shield genny a little more efficient so I could pump out a stronger shield while saving some energy. It was a nice upgrade, but it also lulled me into a false sense of security.\n\nThe fact that Shana now had a slightly better shield got into my head. Suddenly, I was feeling safer than I had ever been, so I started doing things I usually wouldn\u2019t, like venturing into Oberon even though I know Vanduul keep being spotted there. Coming out of there unscathed just made it worse, so when I was back in secure space, I wasn\u2019t afraid of nothing. That mentality was exactly why I stumbled in the heap of trouble I found in Ellis, of all places.\n\nI had just enjoyed some cruising time around Noble, soaking up its beauty, before settling in for a quiet trip into the system\u2019s outer reaches. As Shana passed one of Noble\u2019s moons, I noticed a small blip on my scans. I slowed to a stop and sat down at the scan station to investigate.\n\nAfter a little fine tuning, I was pretty certain the blip was a wrecked ship caught in the orbit of Ellis 5b. Now, I\u2019ve been around the block enough to know that particular moon gets pelted by meteors. Usually, I avoid it just for that reason, but I know those high-strike areas also increase your chance of finding decent scrap. So, excited by the prospect of what might be waiting, I quickly charted my course and got Shana to the coordinates as fast as I could.\n\nAs I dropped out of QT and brought her in close, my heart leapt at the sight of a brand, spanking new Constellation Aquila floating in front of me. Looked like it could\u2019ve been right off the showroom floor, if it wasn\u2019t for the gaping hole punched through both sides of its cargo hold. I\u2019ll be honest, as I think back on it, I\u2019m a little ashamed that it took a few seconds to think about who had set out in this pristine vessel only to meet such a sad fate.\n\nI mean, I\u2019ve explored my fair share of wrecks and seen what the effects of space can do to folks, and yeah, it\u2019s taken a toll on me. When you\u2019re all by your lonesome, there aren\u2019t as many distractions to keep your mind from focusing on things you\u2019d rather not. For the longest time I learned to make myself numb to it. I tried to think of it as business and nothing else. I ain\u2019t saying I\u2019m proud of that. A person\u2019s a person and it\u2019s always sad when someone dies tragic, but dwelling on it ain\u2019t healthy either.\n\nFor a while it worked. Like anything, you do it enough and you\u2019ll get used to it. Until I came across this one wreck that \u2026 yeah, it\u2019s tough for me to talk about even now.\n\nWell, after seeing the Aquila, I closed my eyes and said a little prayer I learned from some Church of the Journey folks for those lost on the drift. After it was done, I noticed a number of crates floating outside the ship but still within its gravitational pull. I took that as a sign I was the first to find this wreck. That\u2019s when I started to get excited again. Shana\u2019s electrical system was in dire need of an upgrade and this ship would do the job just fine.\n\nI climbed out of the pilot\u2019s seat and started putting on my EVA suit. How fortunate was Old Jegger, getting first pickings on a ship like this? It was almost too good to be true. Then it suddenly was.\n\nShana\u2019s sensors started to scream. With my EVA suit half on, I stumbled to the cockpit to see a number of ships coming in hot. So I cranked up the shields to max only to lose power to the entire ship. I\u2019d never pushed the shield so hot, and it obviously didn\u2019t agree with the rest of the system.\n\nMy heart just about beat out of my chest. I was a sitting duck, and with my EVA suit half on, seconds away from becoming a space popsicle if Shana\u2019s hull was breached. Suddenly, I saw a flash. It took me a second to realize what it was \u2014 an EMP blast. These outlaws had no intention of shooting me to pieces. No, sir, these folks were intent on boarding Shana, and that\u2019s probably what saved my life.\n\nSince my maxed shields had already popped the system, it wasn\u2019t affected by the EMP, but the outlaws didn\u2019t know that. They proceeded thinking I\u2019d be down for a bit, but seconds later Shana\u2019s systems came back online and she roared to life.\n\nTook those wanna-be-boarders by surprise too. I dumped every last drop of power into the engines and quickly put enough distance between us to avoid another EMP. The outlaws chased me for a bit, but once my new shields were deployed, at a more reasonable power level, they couldn\u2019t make much of a dent in \u2019em. When they finally peeled off, I QTed to a safe location.\n\nAfter the scare, I promised myself I\u2019d get back to basics and stop being so cavalier in my actions. So, to make sure I\u2019d keep that promise to myself, I sat down to tell you all about this. Gotta say, it\u2019s kind of embarrassing for someone as seasoned as myself to admit to falling into a trap I should\u2019ve seen systems away. Hopefully, by hearing my tale of foolishness, maybe a few of you have learned what not to do.\n\nJust goes to show that it don\u2019t matter how many years you have on you, if you want to survive the drift, you can\u2019t take anything for granted.\n\nUntil next time, this is Old Jegger signing off. Somewhere, far from home.","de_DE":"Hallo, hier ist Old Jegger. Danke, dass du eingestimmt hast, um diesen alten Hund \u00fcber dies und das heulen zu h\u00f6ren. Hoffentlich spucke ich etwas aus, das einen Akkord trifft oder dich etwas weniger einsam macht, wenn es um das Vakuum des Weltraums geht, das um dein Schiff gewickelt ist.\n\nSeltsam, dar\u00fcber nachzudenken, nicht wahr? Das nur ein bisschen Metall trennt dich von, naja, nichts. Ich wei\u00df, dass das f\u00fcr uns alle in der heutigen Zeit selbstverst\u00e4ndlich ist, aber es ist eine ziemlich spektakul\u00e4re Leistung, wenn man dar\u00fcber nachdenkt. Das zeigt das nur, weil etwas allt\u00e4glich ist, was nicht bedeutet, dass es auch nicht unglaublich ist.\n\nTats\u00e4chlich w\u00fcrde ich argumentieren, dass eine Menge Dinge, die wir heute als selbstverst\u00e4ndlich betrachten, ziemlich unglaublich sind, wenn man wirklich dar\u00fcber nachdenkt. Zum Beispiel, wie unsere Linsen uns all diese Informationen liefern. Oder was ist mit den Torpedo Burrito Automaten? Ehrlich gesagt, habe ich noch nie einen Burrito von einem dieser Dinge bekommen, die nicht k\u00f6stlich und perfekt verpackt waren. Die Technik und Wartung, die dazu beitragen muss, dass die Konsistenz im gesamten Imperium gew\u00e4hrleistet ist, ist einfach erstaunlich.\n\nWie auch immer, ich bin mir nicht sicher, ob du es sagen kannst, aber ich bin im Moment in einer kontemplativen Stimmung. Ich hatte gerade eine dieser Erfahrungen, die dich dazu bringt, aufzuh\u00f6ren und eine Bestandsaufnahme der Dinge zu machen. Mach dir keine Sorgen um Old Jegger. Alles wird gut und in der Tat, ich bin wahrscheinlich besser dran, weil es so ist. Meiner Meinung nach ist es gut, ab und zu den K\u00e4fig zu klappern. H\u00e4lt dich auf Trab, damit du nicht mit flachen F\u00fc\u00dfen erwischt wirst.\n\nDenn es sind diese einfachen, kleinen Dinge, die wir alle f\u00fcr selbstverst\u00e4ndlich halten, die wirklich zur\u00fcckkommen k\u00f6nnen, um dich in den Keester zu treten, wenn du nicht vorsichtig bist. F\u00fcr mich war es eine Erinnerung daran, dass man, egal wo man sich in diesem Universum befindet, seine Sicherheit nicht als selbstverst\u00e4ndlich ansehen kann.\n\nEs begann alles, nachdem ich ein paar \u00c4nderungen an Shana vorgenommen hatte. Ich traf einen Schlepper bei einem Covalex in Baker, der mir ein paar Optimierungen empfahl, und, nun, sie arbeiteten wie ein Charme. Sie machten Shanas Schild genny ein wenig effizienter, so dass ich einen st\u00e4rkeren Schild herauspumpen und gleichzeitig etwas Energie sparen konnte. Es war ein sch\u00f6nes Upgrade, aber es brachte mich auch in ein falsches Sicherheitsgef\u00fchl.\n\nDie Tatsache, dass Shana jetzt einen etwas besseren Schild hatte, kam mir in den Sinn. Pl\u00f6tzlich f\u00fchlte ich mich sicherer als je zuvor, also fing ich an, Dinge zu tun, die ich normalerweise nicht tun w\u00fcrde, wie z.B. in Oberon einzudringen, obwohl ich wei\u00df, dass Vanduul dort immer wieder entdeckt wird. Unversehrt da rauszukommen, machte es nur noch schlimmer, so dass ich, als ich wieder im sicheren Raum war, vor nichts Angst hatte. Diese Mentalit\u00e4t war genau der Grund, warum ich ausgerechnet in dem Haufen \u00c4rger stolperte, den ich in Ellis fand.\n\nIch hatte gerade eine Kreuzfahrtzeit um Noble genossen, um seine Sch\u00f6nheit zu genie\u00dfen, bevor ich mich auf eine ruhige Reise in die Au\u00dfenbezirke des Systems einlie\u00df. Als Shana an einem von Adligen Monden vorbeikam, bemerkte ich eine kleine Markierung auf meinen Scans. Ich verlangsamte bis zum Stillstand und setzte mich zur Untersuchung an die Scan-Station.\n\nNach einer kleinen Feinabstimmung war ich mir ziemlich sicher, dass es sich bei dem Blip um ein zerst\u00f6rtes Schiff handelte, das in der Umlaufbahn von Ellis 5b gefangen war. Nun, ich war schon genug um den Block herum, um zu wissen, dass dieser bestimmte Mond von Meteoren bespritzt wird. Normalerweise vermeide ich es nur aus diesem Grund, aber ich wei\u00df, dass diese Hochschlaggebiete auch Ihre Chance erh\u00f6hen, anst\u00e4ndigen Schrott zu finden. Also, begeistert von der Aussicht auf das, was mich erwartet, machte ich schnell meinen Kurs und brachte Shana so schnell wie m\u00f6glich zu den Koordinaten.\n\nAls ich aus QT ausstieg und sie in die N\u00e4he brachte, sprang mein Herz beim Anblick einer Marke und versohlte die neue Constellation Aquila, die vor mir schwebte. Es sah so aus, als ob es direkt vom Ausstellungsraumboden h\u00e4tte sein k\u00f6nnen, wenn es nicht das klaffende Loch g\u00e4be, das durch beide Seiten seines Laderaums gestanzt wurde. Ich bin ehrlich, wenn ich daran zur\u00fcckdenke, sch\u00e4me ich mich ein wenig, dass es ein paar Sekunden gedauert hat, bis ich dar\u00fcber nachgedacht habe, wer in diesem unber\u00fchrten Schiff aufgebrochen war, nur um ein so trauriges Schicksal zu erleben.\n\nIch meine, ich habe meinen gerechten Anteil an Wracks erforscht und gesehen, was die Auswirkungen des Weltraums auf die Menschen bewirken k\u00f6nnen, und ja, es hat mich stark belastet. Wenn du ganz allein bist, gibt es nicht so viele Ablenkungen, um deinen Geist davon abzuhalten, sich auf Dinge zu konzentrieren, die du lieber nicht tun w\u00fcrdest. Die l\u00e4ngste Zeit habe ich gelernt, mich daf\u00fcr taub zu machen. Ich versuchte, es als Gesch\u00e4ft und nichts anderes zu betrachten. Ich sage nicht, dass ich stolz darauf bin. Eine Person ist eine Person und es ist immer traurig, wenn jemand tragisch stirbt, aber darauf zu wohnen, ist auch nicht gesund.\n\nEine Zeit lang funktionierte es. Wie bei allem, wenn man es genug tut, gew\u00f6hnt man sich daran. Bis ich auf dieses eine Wrack stie\u00df, das... ja, es ist schwer f\u00fcr mich, schon jetzt dar\u00fcber zu reden.\n\nNun, nachdem ich den Aquila gesehen hatte, schloss ich die Augen und sprach ein kleines Gebet, das ich von einigen Leuten der Church of the Journey gelernt hatte, f\u00fcr die Verlorenen der Drift. Nachdem es fertig war, bemerkte ich eine Reihe von Kisten, die au\u00dferhalb des Schiffes schwebten, aber immer noch innerhalb seiner Anziehungskraft. Ich nahm das als Zeichen, dass ich der Erste war, der dieses Wrack gefunden hat. Das war es, als ich anfing, mich wieder zu erregen. Shanas elektrisches System war dringend auf ein Upgrade angewiesen, und dieses Schiff w\u00fcrde die Arbeit gut machen.\n\nIch kletterte aus dem Pilotensitz und begann, meinen EVA-Anzug anzuziehen. Wie gl\u00fccklich war Old Jegger, als er auf einem Schiff wie diesem die erste Wahl traf? Es war fast zu sch\u00f6n, um wahr zu sein. Dann war es pl\u00f6tzlich so.\n\nShanas Sensoren begannen zu schreien. Mit meinem halben EVA-Anzug stolperte ich ins Cockpit, um eine Reihe von Schiffen zu sehen, die hei\u00df ankommen. Also habe ich die Schilde auf max hochgefahren, nur um die Energie f\u00fcr das gesamte Schiff zu verlieren. Ich hatte den Schild noch nie so hei\u00df gedr\u00fcckt, und er stimmte offensichtlich nicht mit dem Rest des Systems \u00fcberein.\n\nMein Herz schlug mir fast aus der Brust. Ich war eine leichte Beute, und mit meinem EVA-Anzug halb an, Sekunden davon entfernt, ein Weltraum-Eis zu werden, wenn Shanas Rumpf durchbrochen wurde. Pl\u00f6tzlich sah ich einen Blitz. Ich brauchte eine Sekunde, um zu erkennen, was es war - eine EMP-Explosion. Diese Gesetzlosen hatten nicht die Absicht, mich in St\u00fccke zu rei\u00dfen. Nein, Sir, diese Leute waren entschlossen, Shana zu entern, und das hat mir wahrscheinlich das Leben gerettet.\n\nDa meine maximalen Schilde das System bereits zerst\u00f6rt hatten, war es vom EMP nicht betroffen, aber die Gesetzlosen wussten das nicht. Sie gingen davon aus, dass ich f\u00fcr eine Weile unten sein w\u00fcrde, aber Sekunden sp\u00e4ter kamen Shanas Systeme wieder online und sie br\u00fcllte ins Leben.\n\nEr \u00fcberraschte auch die M\u00f6chtegern-Boarder. Ich sch\u00fcttete jeden letzten Tropfen Energie in die Motoren und legte schnell genug Abstand zwischen uns, um einen weiteren EMP zu vermeiden. Die Gesetzlosen jagten mich f\u00fcr eine Weile, aber sobald meine neuen Schilde mit einer angemesseneren St\u00e4rke eingesetzt wurden, konnten sie keine gro\u00dfe Beule in ihnen machen. Als sie schlie\u00dflich abgezogen wurden, habe ich mich an einen sicheren Ort begeben.\n\nNach der Angst versprach ich mir, zu den Grundlagen zur\u00fcckzukehren und nicht mehr so unbek\u00fcmmert in meinen Handlungen zu sein. Um sicher zu gehen, dass ich dieses Versprechen einhalten w\u00fcrde, setzte ich mich hin, um dir alles dar\u00fcber zu erz\u00e4hlen. Ich muss sagen, es ist irgendwie peinlich f\u00fcr jemanden, der so erfahren ist wie ich, zuzugeben, dass er in eine Falle gerutscht ist, die ich h\u00e4tte weg sehen sollen. Hoffentlich haben einige von euch durch meine Geschichte von Dummheit gelernt, was sie nicht tun sollen.\n\nEs zeigt nur, dass es egal ist, wie viele Jahre man auf sich hat, wenn man die Drift \u00fcberleben will, kann man nichts als selbstverst\u00e4ndlich ansehen.\n\nBis zum n\u00e4chsten Mal ist das Old Jegger, der sich abmeldet. Irgendwo, weit weg von zu Hause.","zh_CN":"Hey there, this is Old Jegger. Thanks for tuning in to hear this old dog howl about this and that.
