Outfitting and Touring in the Mandalay! - Elite: Dangerous
7Commander Ascorbius eased back in the plush pilot’s seat of his brand new ship, the Mandalay. The hum of the engines was a steady, comforting vibration beneath him as he cruised at thousands of times the speed of light toward the icy planet Persephone on the fringes of the Sol system. He couldn’t resist a smile as he looked around the cockpit, admiring the sleek control panels and the gleaming displays. This ship was a beauty—a true gem among the stars.
He leaned back, letting his mind drift, marveling at the Mandalay’s features. It wasn’t just fast; it was agile, responsive, almost as if it anticipated his commands before he even gave them. The shields could withstand a battering and the engines roared with untamed power. But what Scorb loved most was the SCO drive—so stable that he didn't need to adjust the controls.
The stars streamed past him in dazzling streaks of light, a hypnotic display against the infinite black of space. He imagined all the places he’d go with this ship, all the credits he’d rake in, and the epic journeys he’d undertake. The Mandalay felt like a second skin, one that whispered of freedom and untold adventure. In a trance of pride, Scorb barely noticed the alarms that had started blaring softly. His mind was too wrapped up in daydreams.
Then, with a violent jolt, his vision shattered. A split second of realization hit him—a flash of Persephone’s surface far too close, then the sudden, unforgiving impact.
Everything went black.
In that final moment, Mandalay held him close, the ship’s last loving embrace.
