Trouble at Home
11 Mar 2021Novakri Lakoma
Me and my parents have been on the telepresence comms since yesterday afternoon. The reports are still coming in, damage totals, death toll, injury reports, tracking reports, evacuation estimates, procedures, orders and the like. As a Federation Auxiliary reserve member, I'm normally not privy to all the military debriefings, however, since my parents are both actual Federation Military members with high ranks, they are. As well as when I turned eighteen they helped me fill out the 'non disclosure agreement' paperwork, so unless ordered so, my parents are able to fill me in if they feel it needed. Normally I leave them to their work without asking questions, but this is big, nine stations attacked at the same time. And this wasn't just targeted at just any federal station, but Federation HQ space station, and worse, every capital station of every major power. Federation, Empire, Alliance and several others, at once and during the middle of peace conferences between all the powers of the bubble. There is no way I plan on sitting in the dark this time, if I can help it.
Parents have been in and out of telepresence comms almost none stop with debriefings being let know the statues back home and helping coming up and cordinating things. When we got the first call we were in an undiscovered system. Once I relized the situation I put the ship into a low powered state, shutting everything but the life support and comms offline, and put the life support in a low power state to be able to power the comms without interference. We've been sitting here ever since sorting things out and being filled in with things from the bubble. I'm not being directly filled in, parents give me tid bits inbetween calls at the moment. Right now they have been ordered to be on standby and help coordinate things, for the moment, where we currently are.
This was suppose to be our first relaxing family get away and vacation. My parents had been saving up their vacation days for this trip. It was going so well, so relaxing and peaceful. Able to spend actual time with mom and dad, relax, enjoy things and just take things slow, at our own pace, on our own terms for once, no orders, no timers, just us and the stars to lead us. Then this happens just after we make it half way through the galaxy. With my ship it take roughly thirty-six hours straight jumping on the neutron highway to get home. None of us could do that, on top of it the comms will be interupted during the jumping. Making information gathering and keeping up-to-date rather rough, at best.
*loud, long audiable sigh* Well until my parents are off the comms I'm unaware what we'll be doing next. Sitting here cordinating things, racing back home so the three of us can report for duty, or continue our exploration trip and hopefully finish it and enjoy ourselves in the process. Though it will be difficult with the knowledge of what happened back home. Sadness of the news, the anger to stike back, the guilt of not doing our duty's all might ruin whats left of this trip now.
