I'm out for just a short jaunt through w-space tonight. Wormholes and w-space only, folks, and no time for collapsing static connections or any other distractions. That's right, I'm adding an X to exploration, to make it extreme! And if you tell me 'exploration' already had an X in it ...

What's up, space? Not much. A few new anomalies in the home system, that's about it. And what about our neighbouring class 3 w-space system? Also quiet. There's a canister named 'D's stuff' visible on my directional scanner, but nothing else of interest. The small, 10·5 AU diameter system even manages ...

Home looks clear. One new signature resolves to be more gas for Aii to harvest, leaving me with the one direction to go. Jumping to the neighbouring class 3 w-space system shows me nothing of interest, with two off-line towers appearing on my directional scanner, and opening the system map ...

Me, the static wormhole, and a stray signature start my evening in w-space. The unexpected signature is just gas, though. Boring gas. And, after yesterday's coincidence, warping to the bookmark for the previous static connection has me land next to the current wormhole, saving me a whopping ten seconds or ...

It's all clear at home. Very clear, in fact. Just a handful of anomalies remain in the system, with the static wormhole being the only signature requiring probes to find. I do just that, and jump to our neighbouring class 3 w-space system to look for activity. Nothing appears within ...

Today's wormhole is sitting on top of where yesterday's was. I wish I'd known this before resolving the signature completely, but no time is really lost. Jumping to our neighbouring class 3 w-space system has a clear result from my directional scanner, and the two planets out of range don't ...

With no activity at home, and only the single signature in the system, I have but one direction to go. I resolve our static wormhole and jump to the neighbouring class 3 w-space system, looking for trouble. A clear directional scanner doesn't offer much, but it does let me launch ...

I've played with the big boys for the past couple of days—or they played with me—but let's see if I can return to being the hunter today. Launching probes and scanning the home system may put me on the back foot already, as seven signatures at home include three that ...

More signatures light up my combat scanning probes in the home system. The same number of anomalies remain, and the signatures are weak, so will be Sleepers and not wormholes. All looks quiet. I resolve the static connection and jump to our neighbouring class 3 w-space system to look for ...

The wormhole should have died by now. That our static connection will collapse and sever the link to the rest of the scanned constellation could be seen as unfortunate. But w-space life is based on ephemeral connections, and without them the rich experience of new systems to explore and roam ...
