Log Entry – Date Whatever.

Still running small errands for the Kaigun, and you know what? I’m actually enjoying it. Simple exploration jobs—good business for The Blackguard. Easy credits.

No word from Joker. Not that I expected any. He’s gone deeper underground, and at this point, I don’t even flinch at the silence. Brooks is out hunting for leads—maybe he’ll dig up something useful.

Aside from that, Sirius has been weirdly quiet. Well, mostly. I keep running into crazed LPI officers who attack me for no damn reason. And then there are the pirates—ones who claim to have some big-shot ties to the Imperial Navy. I don’t trust it. Not yet. But I threw an offer his way—join The Blackguard. Let’s see if he takes the bait.

The guys have been keeping things running smooth with the IMG. Our bank is filling up nicely. Credits are flowing.

And yet… I don’t know. Something’s been off these past few weeks. I feel lonely. Maybe it’s time to find someone to spend my downtime with. Only problem?

Speaking of which, I need to figure out how to pull a friend out of a certain prison. That’s going to take careful planning. No screw-ups.

For now, I’ve got to set up a mission for The Blackguard. Hoping it goes smoothly—quietly would be nice for once.

On the bright side, I’m feeling good. Training’s back on track. I never know when I’ll end up in a fight on solid ground, and I’d rather be ready for it.

That’s all for now. Let’s see what tomorrow brings.

End log.
