And some more work done. Freeport 5 is secured for water. Got another interesting meeting in O41 - with a Reaver fella - callsighn * Eightshot.Reaver *, while carrying Aliens Organisms form FP9 to Canaria. This one was unhealthily curious too - where did I get the AOs /he thought Kurile/, where was I carriing them /Again he guessed wrong - Cambridge?!? - like I'l get a docking permission for my big baby there, hmm/. He even offered to escort me - like he wanteed to be sure where iwas going.
Too many curious eyes around lately - we're attracting some attention.

And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain."</span>
