Starlog - Entry 1 - 29 July, 3304
29 Jul 2018Thalikor
Was told I should start keeping a log, maybe it could help if anything were to happen to me, blah blah blah.
Not sure where to start... I'm a pilot, mostly do work for the Federation, mostly skip tracing. On occasion I've done some freelance stellar cartography, currently running VIPs on sightseeing jumps just outside the bubble and saving for a new combat carrier. Not sure what else to put in these things...
I had a weird dream last "night"... Woke up sweating. I was back at my old house on Mars and my wife was getting ready for work, her daughter was playing and not getting ready as usual. Stepped outside and noticed a storm was coming, neighbors didn't seem to mind, they were drinking and having a good time outside. Told my wife it looked like it was going to storm and to be careful on her way to work, then I noticed the lightning. It was weird because the lightning was red. Went back inside and helped get the two of them ready and went back outside when I noticed the light coming in through the windows was flickering like when the electricity is trying to go out. The entire sky was red now and flickering quickly. Sky on Mars used to be red but it didn't make sense anymore, then I saw a craft like a boat come through the red clouds towards my house. There was a "man" standing on the deck of the craft holding a forked staff and on the front of the craft there was a large piece sticking out: Ψ
I ran back inside and told my wife she wasn't going to work today and to grab my gun, the craft hooked around and came rushing towards my house, the "man" I could see clearer now was more of a machine, made of metal and just a wireframe. Thin metal lines making up the shape of a person. He pointed his staff at me and the fork started spinning, firing blue plasma charges at my back door. That's when I woke up. I know the Psi symbol is supposed to stand for Neptune, also psychology/parapsychology. Not sure if any of that means anything, never been one to put any stock into reading dreams. Just weird...
Anyhow now that I'm up I guess I'll get back to earning credits, nothing better to take your mind off of bad dreams like VIPs making crazy demands on their sightseeing tours, or getting pissed because some drunk pilot decided to clip our hull. Oh well, I might do more of these, might not, I don't see much use for these logs really.
