Hope is the worst of all evils, for it prolongs the torments of man.

Sunday, the 27. January 820

Today has been a quite successful day for us. We've rescued 5000 refugees from Planet Leeds, who will most likely have their new home at Planet Cambridge. Though, to our disadvantage, the gallic forces have increased their patrols within Leeds which delays our long term task of evacuating the remaining VIPs.

During our last run, we witnessed an act of war from the gallic side. Luckily we weren't targeted and been able to escape the heavy skirmish. This situation forced us to increase our security aboard and made us think about the use of more escort vessels. Although the Pandora was built to carry as many passengers as possible, we sent an order to Border World Exports for constructing a docking module, so that our fighter and bomber escorts can run for cover and resupply. It appears like the Pandora turns more and more from a Luxury Liner into a Carrier. However, our primary goal is it to ensure the safety for our important passengers.

Besides, I've also refreshed the Pandora's identification papers and signature at the BAF Ship Registration Office. Hopefully, our new identification codes should last at least for the next two years, now that people even put distrust into every ship they encounter, no matter the HMS signature. Mutiny and hostile take-overs are a common sight these days. War has just begun.
