Duty, 27: StarlightSo, my recent days... Rather unsettling. Had some minor skirmishes with the Thargoids here and there, in the direct vicinity of the settlement, easy stuff. We weren't bothering the local pilots much, other than telling them to stand ready, our forces...
Duty, 26: Hornet's NestOf course, the shit tension got escalated. Local security forces? Did you ever try to throw a petard into a chicken coop? Yep. They looked exactly like that. Running around chaotically, checking everything, questioning everyone... Hah. Can imagine. They...
Duty, 25: VainWe were too late. Arriving at the signal coordinates with our weapons ready, we saw nothing except a field of scattered debris. Jagged, twisted pieces of metal, silently floating in the greenish acid cloud, and... human bodies. In light protective suits...
Duty, 24: PromiseOut of all things I've been through, waiting remains the worst. Especially waiting in the cockpit and listening to silence. With all the firepower I need to bring those alien bastards down, literally under my fingertips. Knowing that, somewhere out there,...
Duty, 23.5: Fallen Star (X-Mas Special)Warning: contains graphic content. When I was about to call Mion and tell her I want to come and discuss those last events with her, she... Called me first. And she sounded quite worried. Turned out, a friend of her asked for help, her husband went...

Duty, 22: Hide and SeekDamn those bastards are getting smart, I swear. So, I was in the hangars with the techs this morning, we fussed around the ships, inspecting combat-essential modules and replacing those screwed up heatsinks with spare ones from the storage. They were...
Duty, 21: An Enemy WithinWe were all determined to tear this place down, today, no other options. Both AXDF forces and local militia; as soon as we get to know its location, people started planning. Everyone in our camp was involved somehow. The strike couldn't be delayed since...
Duty, 20: Eye for an EyeWe followed the retreating group of Cyclopes at a significant distance, far beyond our sensor range, for a couple of hours. They were making a run for... something. I had no idea what exactly, but, just in case, told pilots to power down their weapons...
Duty, 19: Making a DifferenceOh, those goddamn freaks certainly know how to ruin your day. Thargoids, I mean. After that sensor accident we had to stay at full readiness for almost a week, literally living in our hangars. And what we've got? One distress signal from an explorer ship...
