The Void...An endless vacuum....
Eternal Darkness....
...............and fits of madness.
Sources of crushing gravity and gravity-nonexistent....planets with no atmosphere and atmospheres so dense you would be instantly crushed if exposed....stellar sources of radiation that can cook you alive from the inside out and can dissolve and shred organic matter on a molecular level…and at the same time swallowed and consumed by the endless abyss that will flash freeze you solid and any fluids vaporize instantly in the vacuum and brittle, bone shattering, bone exploding cold. ….and a vast, overwhelming crushing silence that transcends dimensions…and to spend existence confined inside of a pressurized environmental prison when not on a terrestrial, earth-like world. Space is not a place of fun, smiles and laughter, not a place for socializing and good times..
No secret, Space is a hard, cruel, unforgiving medium. It is a place where I have not only found madness on a galactic and intergalactic level, but I have learned to embrace it and thrive because of it. Those who are not able to at least coexist will not be able to handle being on their own. Some may think of space as exiting and good times, and the truth is that people like that are a liability and are psychologically not capable of the harsh realities of the black abysmal void…Those who thrive are truly special, special enough to be called Elite...However, to each their own, and everyone has a right to live their life how they choose….
but I choose silence…
the silence of the void…
and the silence of my home on Topaz under the Bleak Northern Skies…
and the silence will consume me forever....
We Commanders are a special breed, and it takes a special breed to survive and thrive in the void. You are able to take the initiative, and make decisions on your own. You do not need anyone to guide you and tell you what to do. You head into the black and you make your own story. and because you make your own story you are Elite. If you call Elite Dangerous your home, congratulations. you made the cut. Most never will, regardless what they say or what they do....
.....and many will never even try..... which is no ones loss but theirs,
and trolls and griefers are .... irrelevant..
Its dangerous out there, so fly smart...
...because we are all Elite.
