Hey, it's been a while. Not my much has happened.....until now. I've discovered something huge. I was running trade routes, making the big climb to getting the newest ship from Core Dynamics. I was jumping from system to system selling goods when mid-hyperdrive, I was pulled out and was floating in empty space, all my ships systems except for life support went dark. I was sitting in silence for about 5 minutes when I picked up on a strange radio signal and heard weird clicking noises, kinda like the Predator from those movies way back when. Suddenly, a giant bio-mechanical ship that looked like a ceiling fan engulfed my cockpit view. It scanned my ship and just...warped away. It took about 10 minutes I get my ship up and running and I immediately hauled ass over to the nearest starport and told them what happened. I luckily had gotten photos of the ship and luckily they believed me. I suddenly noticed a weird phrase on the side of the ship, it read "THARG", and that's where the name came from. Thargoids, the first aliens to be discovered. We don't know what the hell they are, but I joined a research team that was gonna start investigating them. I'll be more consistent on writing in this and record anything that happens.
