Few days after the expedition and my head still feels like exploding...

The encounter with Him was by no means a comfortable one, albeit exhilarating. I exposed myself for far too long to a creature vastly outmatching what an Ish'Tar could do in terms of telepathic abilities. And it was the first time, too. The radiation in that relic of a System was not helping either...I fainted as I initiated the docking sequence with Abrams Research Station after the whole mess with Raven, Hachette, John and the Ancient Structure's defenders.

Days after that, I still hear voices whispering in the back of my head, itching everywhere, the feeling that I'm being watched...all side effects of that interaction with Him. Add to that radiation sickness. It tore through my hull like nothing I experienced before. I even noticed some changes in my behavior. I compared myself after some recordings I did before the expedition with the current me. I'm more...aggressive in my speech. It even proved out in Hudson just a few hours ago where both the Navy and the Military were touching torpedo tips. I managed to maintain a somewhat cool appearance, but eventually I had to leave before I broke the charade.

On the other hand, I even met John today after all that...mess. Right in the nick of time, even. That MND Gunboat showed up again, making threats to my well being. The Agent eventually left for god knows where. John on the other hand seems...fine now. Despite him wanting to break me and Raven's legs for the stunt we pulled. We settled things. Mostly. I kind of dipped into my future plans, too. The ones I'd rather keep to myself, and now to John. I'll assume he won't spill the beans. Then again, I wasn't in my right mind even then. I might said something I wouldn't ever do. Right now the headache is still killing me...god what I wouldn't for a bottle of finely made scotch! But that would just dehydrate me more and cause worse migranes, though.

I should be fine soon enough. Such cases can't last for that long. Though the times symptoms spike up in intensity sure are...harrowing. Once I get a little bit better I'll start looking into what's wrecking Raven. She's helped me so far. I can't just turn down on her like this.
