Ship's log: star date-- 11.2.3307 Recording? Alright... This is Commander Zedakiah finally checking back in... its been... almost 5 months since my last log. The projects I was pursuing as of my last log were halted due to an incident. I travelled to the Pleiades sector on a large group thargoid hunt. I had brought along a few professionals and a handful of my new students. The students were doing well enough, but at some point in the chaos, more than one Basilisk showed up. We were not ready for them, and we were caught off guard. The professional hunters and I attempted to hold them off while the students made their escape, but during that time, my crew pilot Mavis was piloting one of our fighters manually... the remote piloting controls had been damaged during the fight and she deployed in a fighter herself. It was shot down by the blasted bugs, and her life pod was captured before I could retrieve it...I snapped... It has been many years since the last time I truly unleashed myself... Back on my home world, I earned the name I use as my surname now... "Massacre" due to my ruthlessness when in a fight. And when I watched Mavis being taken from me, I snapped... I have spent the last 5 months hunting down that basilisk with every resource available to me, and a week ago... I found it. I somehow managed to find Mavis still alive and I... I left nothing else alive in the area... I took Mavis back to my 'netics specialist and have been examining her and treating her injuries since. She is finally awake again and is now adjusting to her new 'netics that I had to give her. She had sustained so many injuries... I shudder to even think about what those blasted *bugs* did to her. She remembers nothing... probably for the best... But WE will NEVER forgive them. Now that I have her stable and alive and home once again, I finally could bring myself to record this log. She is recovering well and adjusting to her new 'netics... oh I already said that........
"Milord? She will be ok... you can stop worrying now... you saved her."
Right... you're right M. I brought her home. It took a long time, but she survived. She is strong and stubborn, and she continues to stand by my side despite what she went through... it just... reminded me of someone back home...someone I used to know... That's all.
*Zed takes a deep breath*
In other news... Snowfire has been incredible during the past 5 months and thanks to him we have been able to make a number of major upgrades and modifications to not only my Night's Edge, but also to my Anaconda, the "Hgarm Sverd" or "Wolf Sword" translated from the language of my home world. I suppose it is high time I finally return to "civilized" society and get back to work. After all, I had so many plans and projects to work on. Time to pick them back up.
I think I will end the recording there for today.
