Hey future-me! I am... sorry because of last time. I was lost in thoughts again. Mostly sad thoughts about my past and... today they came once again, right before I ended the day. However, earlier I had a nice talk with some of my friends again! I was in Kepler again, at Ames, talking with them! Mii was there, my friendly Dragon-Friend too! Iris came too for a bit! I even had a nice talk with a Pilot of the Technocracy about AI and Synthetic Lifeforms! It was a blast... However, there was once again a foul-mouthed encounter, or rather two. First, a Naval Forces Pilot who told me to take my pills so I stop my stuttering and then a person called Loyola. She bullied me quite a bit and for some time until I decided to leave the area around Ames and return to Cleveland.

I took a bit of a rest and finished the repairs on my new ship, a Gunboat! When I took the ship for its first flight, I've met an AI Drone in Pennsylvania. It was transmitting a weird code, a really weird code. When I reached Kepler again to meet Mii and Iris, the ship started acting up. The screens were flickering, life support failed and I lost power. I and Elaine found out that the code of the Drone... was a virus that infected our system. I've managed to get rid of it but now... my friends could assume something. Maybe they will find something out about my past I wish to keep a secret. I do hope they won't.

After that, Mii took me and Iris on a 'road trip' to Kusari, showing us some wonderful places. And we've even met Sara there! In Honshu however, we had a kind of sad talk. Mii told us about her past... and... it did hurt. It reminded me of my own. However, the moment Munich was mentioned, something weird happened. I had a flashback. Pictures ran through my mind about a past that felt real, but it can't be mine... or can it? I am confused. I wanted to return to Cleveland for the night but the Girls said it would be better if I stay with them. Flying alone that late would be a bad idea, and with my mind not really working the way I want it to work, they are right. We are staying in New Tokyo for the night, I hope it was the right choice. I really hope. My past... Could it... be? A lie... maybe? I... I need sleep... I really do... Stars... help me remember...
