Been a while,

Two entire years passed since the last log...damn. I came a long way since that mess in the Omicrons, haven't I... - though now I'm knee deep in feces. Ever since I got my hands on these cool trinkets I've always had someone tailing me. The MND and Rheinland Military for instance, then the Auxo'. But way, way back before them I've found a Coalition Battlecruiser. In Kepler! And that wasn't it. It was having a chit chat with a Vagrant. Seemed about right, I suppose. Naturally, it didn't last long. It got nabbed into the void a few minutes after I arrived, right before my own eyes and some Order Scout's.

And what really happened next? I met a Xeno. Not just any Xeno, though. The damn Alliance Commander himself! I learned his name later on from some Johnny Silverstone. Damien Morreti's his name. Though I'm kind of afraid of ever saying his name. He seems like a decent man, especially after a rather long convo' we've had next to Ouray. Eventually, he'd offer help, even endorse the creation of a Station. I wasn't keen on quite literally putting effort to create a Station, but I couldn't just drop the chance of having my own home, far from annoying neighbours and all that. Things didn't stop here, though.

Hours later the Auxo had showed up. Johnny really has some odd friends. He introduced me to Raven, some technocrat. It didn't take long for her to notice the trinkets I had with me, so she offered about 500,000,000 Credits five samples. I was about to say yes, had I not had another deal with some Order Commander called "Hawkins". The offer was staggering, and honestly? I'm starting to think it worked on me. I was next to selling one sample for 30,000,000 Credits to The Order, but since the value skyrocketed I thought to myself. "Do I really want to do it?"

So I denied both offers, then ended up next to Cobra again - well, Damien. We settled for Hudson. This time, though? It was different. The Auxo and Johnny were on the line at the same time. So many voices that my brain started boiling. Both the Xenos and the Auxo wanted to offer help. Real help. Damien even gave me a transport from Milford. And the Auxo started doing runs for the Station. I don't know what their beef with one another is, but I couldn't dare to ask. Shit hit the fan shortly after, though.

There's this MND Agent, and then afterwards the Military that chased me down from Liberty to the Omegas. Like, come on. Do they ever run out of fuel? And that's just the start of it. A Vagrant Ish'tar showed up, with Raven next to it. Woman's got a nack for convincing people to do stupid things, and I fell for it out of curiosity. I woke up got knows where after the Warform jumped us all. After that...yeah, I don't want to experience those things ever again. The creature kept getting closer, and all I could do is depart slowly. It then blasted me with a vision, some woman descending from a bright Light, speaking with a mesmerizing tone. It was...amazing at first. Until I realized the Nomad was playing with my mind. I know the mental damage one could suffer from intense exposure to Ish'tars. I was lucky to have Damien on the line. I only remembered something about "Epsilon Two". It was better than fleeing blind from the scene, shocked by the sudden visions. I ended up in Cortez, then he found me in California. I've never been scolded by someone the way Damien did. And honestly? He was fucking right. What was I thinking? Knowingly dealing with Vagrants? Being so careless that one would jump me away to god knows where?! That's just how the Coalition Battlecruiser vanished! I was lucky to get out alive! After all he's done for me I repay him with nearly killing myself and possibly getting infected. After minutes of me being...me, we came to an agreement to have myself scanned for any infection. We got everything sorted, but I'll have to prove my worth so he...well, forgives me for that bullshit of a shitshow.

Ah well...at least it got somewhat solved. Much less the situation with Auxo. Something's off. But for now I have no choice but accept their aid in...anything. Once the station's fully built up I might start up my research on those trinkets. Who knows? I surely don't. Fate's kicking at my door and I end up in a mess everywhere I go. Auxo is heavily against The Order, and The Order is...naturally against Auxo. I still don't know why. I might have to ask for their opinions soon enough. Make up my mind. Vinny's gotta grow a spine. Or just "V", or "Vincent". I've got so many names now from these people I can barely even tell when someone's talking to me.

That'd be all. Peace out!
