Searching for Answers #18: The last entry
05 Feb 2021Patrick Bietruch
That's it.I apologize for the lack of updates on the matter for the past couple of days. However, I didn't write not because I didn't feel like writing, but because I had nothing to write about. All this time I was waiting for this next entry to be unlocked. It took longer than usual, but I finally got it. And it looks like this is the last entry from my father I'll dig out from the on-board computer..
This probably is the last log from my father. I have to say, this one touched me. After reading it, I was wondering whether to even publish it at all. However, I've made a promise to you commanders at the start of it all so here it is. I have included the entire reading below.
Now the question arises: what next? I still don't know where my father is, still have no idea what the "Magellan Project" is, and on top of that I didn't even get any guidance. If anyone has any ideas what I should do now, please contact me. I won't give up that easily.

Hi Patrick.
It wasn't easy for me to come back here after what I did. I'm sorry for everything, sorry for not spending more time with you, sorry for disappearing from your life to wander in the abyss of space, sorry for what I said to you. I want you to know I really don't think that way. I wanted to take you with me, I honestly did but I know I couldn't. It's too dangerous and I don't want to put you in danger.
I don't expect you to forgive me. I have not forgiven myself to this day. I'm not a good father. I don't know when you're reading this, but I have only one wish: look after your mom.
All the messages you pulled from this ship's hard drive are the ones I chose not to delete. I wanted you to get to know my perspective on everything that has happened in the last dozen or so years.
It is an honor to have a son like you. I love you, son, even though I failed to show you it. I will come back to you when it is all over. I promise you this.
You will rattle the stars, I'm telling you that!
~ Your loving dad
