We're getting somewhere..Well, my father's last entry was one of the more interesting.. And to be honest I don't know what to think about it. Was my father just an ordinary pirate? Had he been absent from home for so long so many times just to kill and rob? Or Is it just a one-off case.. I know that it wasn't my father who murdered, but his friend. Who was he hanging out with? And why is the thing they were looking for so important?
So many questions, no answers. I hope that all this will become clearer somehow in the next entries. At the moment I am a bit disappointed that his crew did commit such acts..
Last time my father wrote that he and his team managed to get ahold of some secret blueprints from some minor faction. They took them by force. The blueprints talk about the construction of a machine, but I do not know what it was supposed to be used for. My father erased this part of the entry. Was he trying to hide something?

Entry #148
September 20 Year 3284
Ship designation: Cobra MkIII Class Vessel - ID: "OR-10N"
Galactic coordinates: 5.28125 / -33.28125 / 47.75
System name: Nona
Each of us declared to be ready to act. Despite being aware of what this entails, the Magellan Project has become a reality. We will build this contraption which, according to Volt, has a 90% chance of success. We will begin the construction process in 3286.
The decision to go with it is not an easy one. Once we get started on the project, there will be no going back. We will have to leave our families for a long time. There will be no contact with our loved ones as it would be too risky. Complete isolation.
I don't know how to feel about it. I don't know if I'm doing the right thing. However, I would be a coward if I did not join the project, in which the entire team participates, when I am their captain.
