Wedding Presents

05/06/3307 *QUANTUM ENTANGLEMENT COMMUNICATION LINK ESTABLISHED* I hired a new co-pilot for the war. While I somewhat regret that I had to let Maiya go, this new pilot, Symphony Knox, seems promising. She's inexperienced, for sure, and she admitted to being just a bit too fond of Onionhead (I mean, don't threaten me with a good time over here, ya feel), but she's a go getter. And by 'go-getter' what I mean is she charges after those Fedneck invaders like they just killed her dog and nailed it to her front door. Good energy.
I had hoped by helping Hudsen last cycle, their administration would have been more scattered and they'd continue to turn on their own, but unfortunately it seems like there was no stopping them using the lies of the NMLA as an excuse to attack loyal, if a bit stuffy and outdated, Imperial factions.
I can't help imagine what Astrid must be going through right now. I remember flying beside her once, in the Battle of Paresa, and being impressed with both her skill and her courage. She must have been so happy, a Cinderella story come true, marrying her own little prince and joining the Imperial dynasty. Like a dream come true, right up until Theta Seven and his cabal of terrorists painted a target on her and her husband's back shortly after their happy day. So now she gets to spend her honeymoon fighting off the Federation lapdogs of the NMLA, and praying to any god that would listen for her husband to come out of this safe and whole.
Astrid, I dedicate this kill to you. And the one after that. And the one after that. I will keep pulling this trigger until my finger is bloody and we are surrounded by the wreckage of every stooge that came for our families. That, or until I myself pass on into the silent night.
In your name, accept my wedding present: as many gallons of the blood of your enemies as it takes to end this farce of a war.
Belle out.
