Good Evening!

It has been some time indeed. And if I need to be honest? Not so well. My time with Bristol Constructions earned me a lot of Credits but Credits can't buy you everything. I went off into the unknown four years ago, cut every contact, and just disappeared. I isolated myself. I worked a lot on Elaine, or rather with Elaine. A Sentient AI that is more of a friend than an actual 'thing' I created. Or rather, upgraded. When I left home years ago with my brother's ship, I did not know much about the actual life in space. I thought that it couldn't be that bad, not as bad as some said. But in all honesty? It was worse than that. Senseless conflicts. Death left and right. Abuse of technology and abuse of artificial intelligence, thinking they are just some.. 'thing' humankind created to do their dirty work. Elaine was never like that. I wanted to make myself a friend, and I did. I don't know how it happened but I realized that even AI can have emotions and feelings. Ones and zeros. But then again, even we humans are just ones and zeros, on a biological level.

To answer your question fully? I grew up. I am still silly, active, and a bit hyper, but I grew up. I have seen enough out there. I hope life treated you better, friend.
