== Pilot’s personal log extract == Over the past few days, I have seen more ships in wormhole space than I had in a long time. Three times I was hunted with combat probes, and once I found myself in direct sight of a pirate cruiser while scouting. But let me put it all in … Watching the Dangers of Wormholes
Admiral’s desk was covered with a stack of reports from the C2 expedition. Reports on cleared anomalies: difficult, but manageable.
