It was near the end of primary school, and everyone seemed to like me just fine up to this point. As soon as I wanted to fly, it's like suddenly I became a different person to them....as soon as I wanted to fly, I became "Owen-Goin' Nowhere" or "Owen Dreamirett" or whatever stupid name they could come up with. I'd show them, I knew I would. Maybe I wouldn't be on a flagship, or something prestigious like that, maybe not even an actual Alliance craft, but I'd show them. I will....my grades are even higher than they were in primary school. I've been working on everything mechanical I can get my hands on, and I've been told I've got potential. It's a start....After I get out of the walls of Uliean (University/) I'll apply, and I just know I'll be dispatched to a craft. Noone tells me what I can and cannot do.

Most of the ships I'd have MAYBE been deployed to are already being used for the new Resource Allocation Alliance runs....how are we supposed to explore anything at all to expand to if all anyone's worried about is keeping everyone in the places we already know about' Dorein's already completely industrial, machines put oxygen in the air, machines resupply water instead of rain, machines gather static from the sky and power from the magnetic poles....when the machines stop, then what? Then we'll all be sitting around wondering where to put the last of the bread, which ship to move the last survivors around with....and we'll have the RAA to thank for it. At this point, I'd rather join up with a group of harriers running pirating raids, as distasteful as that sounds. We'll see how this all plays out....but I'm running out of options quickly.

The Ebon Raptor, renamed now the Menithes since we've rebuilt her, is up and running, and it's working well past our expectations. Jameson and Deryk have been helpful, they're not very comfortable working on most of these systems, but I think we're going to be a fine crew now that the Menithes is operational. Jameson's the captain, of course, and he said he's got us a few contracts running survey patrols and the like. It's...a start. After next week, we should be out among the stars....and I couldn't be happier. This is it....this is really where everything changes.
