Personal Log - Galactic Solar Storm

I've never seen anything like this, thank the gods I was in port when this thing hit. It had been all over the cortex for days. Something about solar flares throughout the galaxy. The scientists seem to know what is going on and no one who's docked is allowed to leave port.

Not that anyone could or would attempt to stop you but from  what I've heard you would have to be a madman to be out in an un-anchored location. Instrumentation and all visibility will shut down. They say mechanical systems should be fine but electronics will have to be completely shielded and navigation will be impossible. Life support systems are mechanical in nature and what limited electronics are used are well inside and shielded.

For the next 16 hours I plan to catch up on some much needed rest. I'll a plan for going forward after this thing passes. Until then I have no problem with holing up.
