I started this log book because Jacy said it would be therapeutic. I suppose she was right, it certainly did help a lot, especially with what happened with Nora, and even reconnecting with Suloren. For now though I think I am going to step back from the logging, take some time to myself, some time with Jacy and I'm sure some time with Sulo and just see where the galaxy takes me. It has been a wild ride so far and it is only going to get more exciting.

This is Newton signing off, at least for now.

It has been a little over a month after that goid blew its top. Suloren and I have been keeping in close touch and things seem to be winding down a bit in the bubble. She asked if she could jump out to my carrier and join us on the last few legs of our expedition. I guess the money in exobiology is lucrative for a young adult. Of course, Jacy and I are totally on board with the idea, so she will start her journey out to us tomorrow. Twenty-five thousand light years in a DBX with a 44ly jump range… oh to be young again. It will be good to have her nearby, and safe.

Cocijo was destroyed today. Good riddance! Now the cleanup in the bubble will begin.

Guess I’m a liar about the logs, after jumping the carrier to the Peak and spending the day there with my daughter I decided to have a long talk with her about what she wants to do. She wants to hang around the bubble and help out on the rescue ships. This scares the living shit out of me, but I couldn’t be more proud of her. I have plenty of credits left over so I decided to buy her a DBX, and for shits and giggles had it painted her fav color, purple. Hopefully that will get her started in whatever life she wants to build. Tomorrow once I jump back down a bit she will disembark and head back to the bubble in her “Purple Bee” as she calls it.

I also talked with Jacy for a while, I felt it was time to propose to her and she said yes, even over a comms! With our own carrier she can setup her own Vista shop right on board, although I suppose the carrier she is working on now might not like the idea of her leaving, but they won’t have a choice, the times they are a changing.

So now I have plans as well, jump the carrier back to rendezvous with the Laid-Back Expedition, hijack their scientist, get married, relax and explore.

It is now 22:15 and today has been very therapeutic. My Krait, as nice as it is, is only one ship but be damned I did what I could. Cocijo is damaged enough that it is now vulnerable to larger attack which means its days are numbered, and I am counting them down. Had a long talk with Suloren after I got back and she is right, I’m no good to anyone dead. I don’t want to do that to her or Jacy just for some revenge. The carrier is ready to go, full of fuel and crew. I think tomorrow we will jump the carrier up to Rackhams Peak. It was our favorite destination years ago as a young family. I think that will help both of us get through Nora’s death. Hell, this will be the first time I didn’t have to hitch a ride to get there, so that’s cool. After all of this I think I might not log for a bit, need to gather my thoughts.

Frack those goids, frack them right to hell. At this point I don’t even give two shits who started it but I’m about to get into my axi Krait and help end it. Its time for their reckoning. This two-year war has dragged out long enough. Its 08:00 hours and if this is my last log entry then let it be known that I went down fighting.

Spent the night on the rescue ship walking around aimlessly trying to locate Sulo. Finally, around noon someone who actually knew who she was when I asked them and pointed me in her direction. Of course she was in Medical, doing what she could with no training. Made me proud, just like her Mom… Which makes the next revelation even harder. Sulo, naturally, has been in touch with her mom the whole time. Nora couldn’t hitch a rescue ride until last night. Unfortunately, her rescue didn’t make it. Now we are both devastated. I have nothing but good memories of her and a daughter to always remind me of her. Even though we were divorced we always stayed close, now she is too far away…

What a fracking mess! Most of the rescue missions are disorganized. Just a bunch of people randomly flying around picking up anyone they can from anywhere. I suppose I’m just one of them, doing the same thing. At least people are trying, even if it seems to just add to the chaos. I have been running rescue missions all day, learned the hard way that apparently all but one rescue ship was destroyed days ago! Guess I should pay closer attention to Galnet. I was running around Sulos hometown hoping to get some information on where she was, and luckily it paid off. It seems she got onto one of these rescue runs from someone yesterday and “should” be on the rescue ship. I’m hoping Nora is there too.

The RSV-Kuru is now in full force, over the next couple days they will put together the crew for me and I will work on getting the tritium. All the while I am still trying to get ahold of anyone that can help me locate them. I’m starting to worry since I have not heard anything for the last couple days. The whole system is in chaos and communications are shit. I will keep trying though. Its hard to rescue anyone if you don’t know where they are…

It has been a long fracking day today. Started at 4am as I left the expedition on this mad dash to Earth. Twenty-one thousand light years later from countless jumps got me to Shinrarta around 22:00 the same day… Then it was off to immediately commission a carrier and begin this rescue mission. I have not heard from Sulo nor Nora in the last two days so hopefully there are still there to rescue.
