CMDR Airman_Dan's Log, 6th June 3307

Off into the Black once more.  After fueling the Omega Concern, preliminary scouting in the immediate vicinity yielded little of value.  In hopes of sighting anomalies, I took the Ad Astra and its shipboard fighter out for a spin.  A couple water worlds and an ammonia world or two were waiting to be found, and I happened into an Earth-like on the way back, but again my mysterious predecessors had seen the biggest and boldest prior to my arrival.  Youth had been done already—there was an Herbig Ae/Be, logged and catalogued.  Death had been done unto itself too—I don't know what used to be where that black hole is other than the name of the CMDR who found it first.

Still, things are looking up.  Or at least I was when I brought the Fiat Lux out for the next stretch of this journey.  My predecessors may have been compatriots of Khan, as I have been able to literally rise above their two-dimensional thinking.  My ascent into the heavens brought me to a red giant, and around it I found a planet caught in a tug-of-war between the Goliath and a nearby pair of red dwarves.  I hadn't seen three sunsets from the same place at the same time before.

This time, neither had anyone else.
