A Time Of Truth? (Salome, Thargoids, Something Greater?)
29 Apr 2017Tranquil (BORGGY)
It has been a while since I've been out in the deep black, here, I have remained inside the bubble. Took a holiday to breathe for a bit, you know- plus I'm an old man so one needs to stretch his legs. I went to New Africa in Epsilon Eridani and it was nice to go back home, "Home"- the actual place where I was born. Mitterand Hollow was my home but...ahhh, they both are. The moon and the world, one orbiting so fast it's mesmerising, and the other orbits slowly round its star. Soon it'll be time to get back into things such as the Azophi Expedition that will start on the 5th May 3303. I have some more time for an extended holiday...may pop over too Birmingham in Diso, the planet me and my wife use to live on. God...it's been ages. I might as well go and see it before leaving for the expedition or whatever this recent news is stirring. I've heard of this Salome for a while now- she's coming back to speak a truth, something only she knows. Something big and terrible is coming???
Thargoids? Or worst??
Today she is coming, I do not know what will happen- but their will be blood spilt, the Federation, Empire and Alliance may spin because of this "Salome".
Maybe I need to go now quickly to Diso and see our old home before it is gone- before the bubble is wiped out? Then again I'm conflicted now, whether to stay or go with these pilots to the outer rim- if we're still alive by that time, of course. Or fight, help, and possibly die- I've lived till now and something has kept me like this....I can't bring about killing myself. Maybe unconsciously I have been waiting for this moment to come, something I've been preparing for. To serve the Federation once more, just once.
Pah...if it turns out to be greater than us then we need no superpower, no government...we need Humanity! we need all of us- together. I don't know if that's enough hope but if not then I'm lost. We're all lost.
All this news, even about the generation ships being discovered, and mega-ship Zuara? I think, in the Formidine Rift....it's all coming out now, unraveling.
If I die in a possible obliteration and you find these logs- fight or run, perhaps neither will get you very far- but it's something nonetheless.
