Starlog - Entry 2 - 31 July, 3304

Well I earned enough credits to grab my own Corvette finally. Can take a break from carrying impatient scientists and demanding criminals across the galaxy to look at atmospheres for a while. Part of the deal was I have to sign up and show my “loyalty to the Federation and President Hudson”... again. Based on a merit system, all these higher ups love having their name yelled while every day people are getting ejected out into space.
Politicians, bureaucrats, religious fanatics... all of them can take a Beluga straight into a black hole for all I care. Been listening to the GalNet lately. Some guardian cult is attacking a thargoid cult or something, when are people gonna learn it’s not worth fighting over? Not worth dying over? Pretty sure people have always been afraid of what they don’t understand. All the problems in my life were caused by other people, not aliens.
Also heard about this Imperial Princess that’s marrying some Federation diplomat or something? Hope it works out, I wanna believe that people can come together, even if it is scary stories about alien boogeymen that starts it. I’ve seen it too many times before, good people trying to bring an end to the fighting end up dying in it. I don’t wanna see anything happen to either one of them, but it seems like they’re tempting fate with this marriage.
And here I am after all this traveling to a system I’ve never heard of to kill people in Hudson’s name. Just so his galactic power hold reports will be in the green... Truth is I like combat piloting way more than bein a space taxi. Even if it does pay less. Wonder if everyone’s as big a hypocrite as me. Maybe that’s our whole problem.
