It's Christmas. I didn't think I'd get to see this day without a pile of complaints on my desk. Yet here I am. No complaints. Everyone seems to be in a cheery mood. Grudges were left aside and...it's nice.

People started to send out gifts to one another. Some even formed unlikely friendships. A simple example would be Ben and Fiona. Ben got a shiny X42-A1 Assault Rifle with 5 magazines. Fiona? She got a perfume, and a handful of plasma grenades, twin sidearms and holsters for both. Both seem to like guns so...sure? I guess? Meanwhile I got an apple, some candy and three bottles of Rum. At least it's something. I'm getting drunk tonight.

On the other hand, Lambda Wing returned from Sigma-13. They found absolutely nothing. Well, not really nothing. They went along the lanes to check for any criminal activity. At some point they had encountered two signals, both reading as MND. I also took the liberty to check their blackboxes, just out of curiosity. Once Christmas is over I'll send in Ben with the RNC-Falke to check in more detail.

|Begin Log| Lambda-1: This is just stupid. Lambda-3: Oh please, everything is stupid for you. Be happy we're here to spread our wings and not clean the hangar. Lambda-2: He's got a point, you know. Lambda-1: We're flying along the lanes as Imperial transports run by to let them deliver goods to the Empire! We can't just let that happen, you know? Lambda-4: We also can't just shoot civilians while on assignment. We're here to investigate these signals, not shoot sitting ducks. Lambda-1: What's the difference? Lambda-2: Forget it. Wait, I'm picking up something. Lambda-1: Like? Lambda-2: Two contacts. Fourteen kilometers away- They're gone. Lambda-3: To where? Ships don't just vanish. Lambda-1: The nebula doesn't really let me see beyond a few clicks, you know? Let's return to base. We've lost our chance. They know we're here. |End Log|
