Seeking the Truth #14: Crash landing

Hello commanders.Apologize for the long quietness but that's just what happens when you are a part of a covert operation to destabilize and ruin the entire organization. Since I'm stuck on this planet I finally have some time to write a new entry.
As you may remember me and my three teammates are on a mission: the "Takeover" Operation. We are trying to "destroy" the faction called Palluvumbo Creative Inc. Can't complain too much about how things have been going because everything is good for the time being. We've already dismantled their security, production and influence branches. This is how it went:
We kicked things off by destroying their security branch as we thought it would be the best to have it done in the beginning of the operation. We thought that without their security the faction will become vulnerable for future attacks and won't be able to defend its other branches very effectively. We destroyed their line of defense without them even knowing what hit them.
Then we moved on to their production branch. This was a good plan because without it they would not be able to make any more money. No funds = no military. This would also spark the first riots as civilians would lose their jobs. Exactly what we need.
Lastly the influence branch. Not much fighting going on with this one. Our job here was to ruin public opinion of the Palluvumbo's current leader, Jack Sullivan. Digital, being the hacker of our team, took care of that. Now the people of Palluvumbo are blaiming Sullivan for what is happening.
I've mentioned in the beginning of this entry that I'm stuck on a planet. A moon of a gas giant in fact. This is because I got shot down by one of the Palluvumbo System Security vessel. I'm waiting for a rescue team to arrive. I took some beating when I hit the surface but I've treated my wounds. It may leave a scar though.
I'm in such a rush these days I can't even have a time for my own thoughts. Always on the run, always on a mission. Now that I'm stuck on this moon I can finally take a break. I can reflect on what my life has become and what.. What I have become. I did not think this Operation would take so long. Before it started, I hadn't fully realised what I'm signing up for. Of course all of this is a necessity. I need to make Palluvumbo stop going after me and this is the only way to do it. All because of what my father did some twenty years ago.
I've killed a lot of people. I destroyed a lot of ships and watched them burn. I remember being so angry when I found out what my father and his team did. Killed those innocent Palluvumbo's scientists to get their hands on the blueprints of the "Magellan's Sphere". And now here I am. I'm a killer myself. There's no point justifying my killings because it's either them or me. I'm a murderer. Maybe that's why my mother didn't want me to become an explorer? Become what my father was. Because this is where it leads? Maybe she, somehow, foreseen that it would turn bad for me? I don't know.
I just want it all to end. I want to go back to being a simple explorer, to finally find out what happened to my father. The last thing to do is to kill the leader of Palluvumbo and all that follows him. There's still more blood to spill. Then Andlit Co. will put one of their agents in the place of the Palluvumbo's leader and restore order. It must end soon..
