A day off before the BIG adventure
23 Oct 2019LilliSWE
So, after 3 days of patrol duty in Theta Octantis, Gov Allison granted me a day off to prepare for my trip. As I lay in my bunk at Medupe Station, I look over my star charts to plot my route. Her Grace, Princess Duval, has tasked this lowly explorer with an important mission to Colonia and points beyond to gather intel and resources for the Empire. I think to myself, who would have thought this puny Imperial postwoman would be given such a great opportunity? And to top it off, it was her Grace that asked this of me....HERSELF. I mean, holy sh*t...what an honor! My bunk mate was aside herself with jealousy. I know I would be too if the roles were reversed. Unfortunately the Lucretia is a single pilot shit or else I would love to take her with me. It gets lonely out in the black but lucky for me, I have my faithful companion droid, Panoptes. I go over my checklist for everything I need. All in check! Oh no! I can't find it. Wait...here it is. Couldn't leave home without some good reading material. It may be written long before my time, but Shadow of the Dark Crystal is a book my Captain recommended I read. The Dark Crystal has been a series that always caught my attention. Time to go check up on Lucretia and prep her for the long journey. Guess I'll write again tonight!Signing off....
