Too Late

From the Kariki Star System to Point Theta—around Sector 187 outside the Calumet Star System—it would take us roughly 30 hours of straight-line travel. Of course, that's in warp-speed estimates.

In short, as long as no "delays" happen, we should arrive at our destination in 30 hours.

"But of course, nothing would play out as easy as that..."

The ship shook violently as the Jump Drives abruptly shut down, forcefully dragging us out of hyperspace.

Once again—the 17th time, in fact—we were interrupted mid-jump by a bunch of random space pirates.

I was honestly relieved that Eva's usual "blessing" was back in full force, but still, the minor delays we suffered from every stop were starting to pile up into a mountain.

{Hyahha~! Turn off your shields and weapon systems and we'll spare—!}

*BOOM!*

Yeah, no thanks.
