Personal Log: August Summery
01 Sep 2021Rixses
It's been a while since I made a log. I've mostly been grinding through the days getting caught up on backlogged shipping requests. It was good to be home and see the wife again for a while. She has the home in order and the remodel started taking shape with me there to help things along. It'll be a while yet before it's done. Especially with me going to be gone again for a while. The school season starts again soon and she'll be returning to work. Maybe I should hire a house keeper...The election was won by our faction and it's good to see the positive changes coming from the new policies. It's been a long and hard process. I just hope all of the time and recourses have been worth it... Now that all of that is over it's time to get back to the real work. I have a short expedition planed for a nearby nebula which should prove lucrative and provide some much needed resources. We're running short after everything else that's been going on. The wife might join for part of it just prior to going back to work. I think she would enjoy it.
I've met a few good people from another squadron. Talented and accomplished. My squad has largely been absent lately following some of the political drama and finding good people to work with is getting tough. I might wing up with some of these new commanders soon. I think we all need to see some action. Maybe when I get back from the expedition. I've only been out on a few EVAs now but one of the commanders I met is keen to get me out in the field for some research aid. Might be good to fit that in prior to the expedition for the practice.
The Imperial Navy just promoted me to the honorary rank of Master for acknowledgement of my service. It seems like it's a good thing. The political landscape has been changing so much lately it's hard to keep track of who's actually doing good and who's lying about something. I've been digging more into our history and I think I'll need to take some time and out and start creating a log of events including who and what was involved. Maybe another commander has already done some of the leg work and documented it in the PFD. That would save some time.
The expedition is only a week away now. Seems almost silly to go with everything that's happening in the bubble. I don't like what I'm seeing in the news about the Federation and other agencies. Dark stuff... But that also highlights my need for more resources. I think I'll take up Techs call to do an EVA today if possible. With the expedition looming I want to be prepared.
I've started to dig through all of the posted history and Galnet articles to correlate events and organizations. No luck in finding a working database so far. I think once I get back from my trip I'll start retracing the steps through the Galnet postings to get a firsthand look at some of the sites and documents. There is a lot going on out there and too many unanswered questions. I feel I'm losing faith in the Empire. Not sure I ever really had it... But the Federation appears wholly corrupt and devoid of ethics to begin with and some of the free people have obviously been operating without a moral compass or ethical oversight.
