That's kinda weird given they work for my PoC android and the hilarious pile of fail that is Chrome

Yeah. Everything I've read says that Firefox should be able to do it, but nope. Fun times

I would like to check out 6F first, because we are in the area and I am not expecting us to come by this area again. If we want to leave via booster 13 we will just come down via B3. I don't have a preference for checking out Circle ᪥B or Circle 𐀤 first after that.

The problem with going off map is that it's going to be hard for us to know when we return to the map for certain, unless we stumble onto something we've been too before. That's why I want to take full advantage of the map as we slowly but surely add more too it.
As for the fonts it turns out that having Firefox block suspected fingerprinters in security is what is stopping the Linear B from appearing.

Is the map changing behind us? As long as we turn back around instantly, we shouldn't get lost.

There is only so much that can fit between 5E and 6F, especially if there isn't anything south of it because the passage for 3C is collapsed. I expect there to be one chamber with some kind of station or wreckage, and then we move on to either of the other 2 options for this vote.

If we turn back, sure. What I was thinking is that unless we turn back we won't know for certain if we have returned to mapped area or not.
That said it's been 30 minutes and no one has broken the tie so I'll go with the two of you so things keep rolling.

> check off map at 6F
The passage here makes a great arch, and signs of damage are scattered throughout it. Bleeding columns and plumes of nebula-cloud appear at irregular intervals along the arch, until navigation reports that the ship has returned to the passage between booster 10 and the first wave-symbol area—if there were any side passages along that arc, they must have been destroyed at some point in the fighting two centuries ago.
6F and 5E revealed to be connected, with no side passages.
Your course thus essentially narrows to continuing to either 𐀤 or B-᪥.
[ ] Continue to B-᪥

Nope; though you could do so if-slash-when you're coming back that way to get to 13, most likely. It is slightly less important to check every single one now that you have found one that is working; more of a convenience really.

I'm thinking that after this we go to 17 then down to 2C. There seems like a good chance that it will link up to B-᪥.
After that I'd like to try to head to 𐀝 but that depends on how things shake out by then.

We are now back in passages where we have seen patrols before. If we run into another Warbird patrol do we want to ambush it? I definitely do if it is just 3 Bird of Prey, but don't know how to feel about fighting a Warbird.
If we can pop the head opening move we can more then take it I think.

TBH I don't want to pick any fights we don't have to. We've found enough loot that I'm feeling pretty good. That said if there is a site that looks promising I'd be willing to change my mind. Maybe leave it until last.
In short I want to get as much as we can with full HP so that if a fight goes poorly we can limp off to the escape path.

As you are passing through the corridor near the Anchorage, about to turn off in the direction of the second wave symbol area, what you are beginning to suspend is a standard light patrol of three gunships emerges into the corridor, heading your way.
You have spotted a patrol of Three Birds-of-Prey. They are flying in a standard patrol pattern and are not at alert so far as your sensors can determine.
[ ] Ambush the patrol
[ ] Continue to 𐀤, they've no ability to detect you other than physical collision.

Well as I said, this is a fight I want to pick.

So long as you can get a spread of torpedoes into it from its aft dorsal arc- a position where only a pair of medium beam emitters can bear- while it's got its shields down or in stand-by, you can absolutely bushwhack one of those warbirds. In situations like this, the cloaking device is a huge force-multiplier, since it's practically a get-one-hit-free card.
Now if the thing's already got shields up and is at combat alert, that's quite a bit more dicey; you don't actually have a good idea on how strong those shields actually are. And the amount of firepower the things can bring to bear, especially in the fore arc, is... Daunting.
