Ryu Nakamura Log #001

I've been a good person my whole life. I always did what my parents told me to do, followed the law, and was an upstanding citizen. So when the boss orders me to dive head-first into uncharted space so that we can take potshots at creepy glowing things, I have to ask myself... why me? People call me paranoid but honestly, I feel like my knack for knowing where there's danger is what has kept me alive thus far... Stepping into uncharted space sets off my alarm bells, unlike anything else.

*ahem*

Yesterday at about 22:00s we departed from Sapporo to head for a little trip to Uncharted Space. Tomakomai needed some Cryo-whatchamacallits and we were going to check a new potentially dangerous route. Apparently, that made me perfect for the job. Cool. When I asked if we get hazard pay I was met with silence. Nonetheless, I fired up the Yami and took her for a spin. What am I, some kind of mook? Anything for the company I guess.

Took this one after jumping in. Creepy. Earhart I think this one is called?

After jumping in, we were directed to a set of coordinates. I could have sworn I heard tapping on my cockpit, but my shields were up. Either way, the less time spent in Earhart, the better. It didn't take long for us to get to the next system. I have to admit, for something so unsettling, it was pretty. I'd still rather be back in Hokkaido though.

The boss told me to take up drawing instead of just taking pictures. I guess it helps put me a little at ease. I like this one. Mom would be proud.

After arriving at the coordinates we got to mining. We had to shoot at Blue Balls. Hah. Annoyingly every now and then I'd pick up some water by mistake. I'm already hydrated enough, so that just frustrated the process.

Weird

We grabbed a few Cryos before we pissed off back to home base, narrowly avoiding any dangers that would be happy to shred my Drone to pieces. We got a good haul, hopefully Tomakomai can put it to good use. I still can't shake off this feeling we were somewhere we weren't supposed to be though, that we were being watched the entire time. Could have sworn I heard those tapping noises again on our way back, but I didn't want to alert the team otherwise they'd think I'm some kind of schizo. The last thing I need is mandatory garden leave.
