[The young woman sits down in front of the console, her hair matted to her forehead and a crazed look in her eyes.]

I almost broke my record for flying through Copernicus. If I hadn't missed the hole in the asteroid for the Sigma-13 Jump hole. Some idiot was talking in system chat, yapping on about how he needed to save me from the system distracted me just enough to over correct and nearly become a streak of oil and blood on the side of the ice. Despite my many attempts to tell him to shut up, he kept talking. Even called me a "lad". Apparently he was deaf (and apparently drunk too). Kinda ironic he was trying to "save" me when he, himself, was plastered drunk.

Fucking Sirians. Makes you wonder how they've survived this long.

Anyway, that screwed up my time so now I've gotta go back again and see if I can't beat my first record. A guy at Newport recommended a song called "Freebird" when I try it next time? Some ancient Sol song or something.

[She shrugs.]

Some easy listening wouldn't hurt while careening through a gas field that would incinerate me with so much as a glance might be nice.

Anyway, I attached logs here of that idiot trying to save me for laughs. Maybe next time he'll know I'm a woman instead of some misguided boy.

[She rolls her eyes before ending the log.]

You fear oblivion. Yet you forget. The universe remembers every atom of your being. Even dust hums your name in the dark.
