Searching for Answers #3: Broken Promise
20 Oct 2020Patrick Bietruch
I'm on a roll!Another password cracked, another log entry unlocked. I still think about the last one, how my father and mother couldn't get along after his return from Pleiades. I wonder if it was a reccuring thing. I have never talked about it too much with my mother and it's the first time I'm learning about their past.
Last time my father got back home from an expedition for my first birthday. He also wrote that he had promised my mother no more expeditions and that the family is more important than some research. Well, take a look at this entry:

I promised her that I would stop with all the expeditions. I honestly believed that. I believed I was taking a break from work for a bit longer than usual this time. I did not think that my return would be so badly needed.
We have heard that the Thargoids have been sighted again in the Pleiades Sector. All witnesses say the same thing, they all had similar experiences, so this is not a separate case. My team wants to go investigate these rumours as soon as possible, and all they need is a leader. I have to go with them.. I have to go, although I'd rather stay with my wife and son.
