CMDR Airman_Dan’s Log, 28th June 3307
In the darkness below the surface, the marvels of the universe speak unto the lost. My beating heart pounds within my chest stronger than the pulsar that sent me here, melting steel and crushing atoms and rending effect from cause. I yearn for the silence of the black, for the cacophony of the empty, for the spectacle of the void. I have been where no man has gone, I have sought what no man has found, and I have held when no man has stood.
My mind is clear now. Free of the weight of expectations. Breathing. Understanding. Focused. I came here to honor a memory, and left with singularity of purpose.
Perhaps I seek what some think shouldn’t be found. Regardless, I am the hero of my own story and so I continue. I’ve gone to the farthest reaches of the galaxy and from there I’ll go further still. Driven past Icarus’ Folly and ‘round the Devil’s Dance Floor and through the Great Plume of Agosoria, my path chases the light across a thousand worlds, most known only to me. Eternity itself is but a wink of my imagination, and it is oh so very colorful.
The Fiat Lux is headed “home” aboard the Omega Concern in a week’s time, but my work has only just begun. I have opened Pandora’s Box, and it really doesn’t seem all that complicated.
I don’t see you yet, but I know you’re there. Sit tight. I’m coming.
