Log 14-Breaking and Building

Well, I was able to fulfill my promises from the last log. Turns out the battle I fought in against Darkwater completely eliminated the NMLA, so that’s one nightmare faction gone. I was also able to take down Thyrisis, a higher ranking Raider who couldn’t fucking fly a ship to save his life.But I didn’t just spend these past couple weeks on death and destruction-though I didn’t spend them on exploration either.
I spent them on trade.
You see, I worked on the Colonia Bridge Project a bit, by bringing materials to the necessary stations. I’ve gotten quite a few goodies as a result. And profit. Lots of profit. Good to cover ship expenses.
I was also able to play games in the softness of my blanket nest of a bed back home, too, and caught up on sleep rather easily-I think I spent a whole day sleeping and lazing about. Hey, I needed that sort of thing after the last couple weeks. I even got the sleep sounds and lights set up, too. I think the nest is perfect as is, but a bit more wouldn’t hurt if I spot anything that catches my eye.
Amaris got a couple tweaks too-was able to squeeze a bit more length out of her frame shift drive, and I put some lights up around the canopy and in my quarters. Perhaps both might help stave off any further episodes like the one I had before.
And finally, sometime after the end party for the expedition, I have to pack my bags. I’m taking Doctor Tähine’s advice, and getting myself evaluated. While my symptoms have not been worsening-in fact, I believe they’ve improved slightly, I still wish to make sure that I’m not overall getting worse.
I can’t wait for the end party regardless, it’s going to be fun. Especially if there’s as many people there as there were for the start. Though it’ll be quite different, since we’re using the same place we did for the last end party-to be fair, though, we used the same starting location, too. And honestly, that’s fine. Familiarity, but still different, to spice things up.
And I do know that once the matters related to my night terrors and heightened anxiety are sorted out, I have many, many ships to engineer, so it’ll be time to make connections and gather materials again.
