The log of George. A. Antioch

[APDAF]

George's alarm sounded after 7 and a half hour of sleep.
"Uh, what? oh!"
George rubbed his face with hands brushing some of his blonde hair out of it.
"Lights, LOW!"
The lights turned on with the intensity of a supernova then dimmed to a reddish glow.
"Uh come one George, time to get up."

George sat up cracked his neck and proceeded to get up from the bed.
"Right, where is the shower?"
After looking round with no avail.
"Why can't the blinking shower be in the same blinking place on every blinking station?"
He found it after a good few minutes.
"Right then lets see if I can do in E minor?"
George proceeded to have a shower singing The British Grenadiers in E minor.
After messing up the second line of the third verse.
"Damn it, why can't I do it? I can do it in E major."

He then got dressed in his usual black.
"Right, where is the tea?"
As he started to started to make his morning brew he started to think about breakfast.
After looking round but only finding Synth Paste.
"Great it's coming out of a tube, again."
After his he poured his tea, he grabbed a tube of Synth Paste.

"Right what is the news today?"
He flicked to the CNS and saw what had happened to Munich.
He recoiled in shock.
"Holy mother, I was planned on moving there."
He looked at the picture of his wife Helga.
"You are going to be rightly miffed at this. I hope It does not stresses her too much."
He took sip of tea, then saw what some of the radiation victims.
Gulping down his tea
"Ouch, it looks almost as bad as when a mining vessel went though one of the smog banks with a hull breach."

Suddenly a message maker flicked onto the screen, it was from Helga.
"Oh no this will be fun."
Picking up the head set and flicking to the message he started with.
"Hello dear, I presumed you have heard the news?"
A image of a young woman appeared backed by the rising Stuttgart sun appeared her belly was slightly swollen with pregnancy.
"Hallo George, Ja I have heard die news and wir where planning to move there to."
"I am not letting you anywhere near the system, not in your condition."
"Stop worrying George I am not going anywhere, I did hear what happened is everyone okay?"
Sighing slightly as he said it.
"They are on Sprague, I will have them moved to Stuttgart by the end of the week, if I only I could convince my Father to leave Bretonia but he says he has too many thing to do with BMM first."
"How is your vater anyway?"
"Oh he is in his element, we loves it when there is something big that needs sorting out, particularly after we lost Leeds, oh how are you and er the little one?"
Helga rolled her hand across her slightly swollen belly.
"I am fine, and the doctor says that it is developing as normal, you seem a little strained is everything all right George?"
"It's nothing just a little tied as all, I have to leave soon Fathers got a shipment the needs moving, love you!"
As he blow a kiss.
"Love you hopefully we will see you soon in Vaterland, Auf Wiedersehen!."
As the screen went back to the news.
"Goodbye my love."

He looked at his data slate, the shipment was for drill bits.
"He wants me to move drill bits, of all the things that need shipping."
He got up and winced as he put too much weight on his left leg.
"Ah! This leg is going to kill me one day."
He look at the data slate again seeing that his ship was unnamed and it's log empty.
"I need to both name my ship and start a log."
He left a note to his father and then left the quarters.

As he left he bumped into his father.
"I am going to do that shipment then I am off to Sprague."
"Ok, take care out there son."
George then left for his ship.
