Title: Untitled.

I've been thinking for a while now about what's going to become of us all in the near future. It won't be long before I become unable to fly and it'll likely be months after giving birth before I'm able to even consider getting back in space.

I've decided to get rid of some of my ships - namely my bomber and the little White Devil. The bomber will be disassembled, the shell sold off as scrap and some of the useful parts kept as spares, such as the battery bank and alternator, to name two. They will serve as emergency backups for the Maelstrom to prevent a recurrence of the situation that left us stranded here.

The Marauder, as it is a bit long-in-the-tooth and showing her age, will be sold off for parts to someone else. As much as it pains me to do so, it's just taking up ever increasingly valuable space inside the Alsatia's hold.

As soon as Kana and Co. in the Graf Eisen get back from Alster Shipyard with the generator I need I'll fix up the Maelstrom and set to work putting everything in order.

I will have to embark on what will probably be my last major journey before succumbing to my unborn child once I return to Vieques. I have to find my mother in Bretonia and tell her she's going to become a granny.

One wonders - if she's still out there - how she's going to react. Mum has had it in for Rheinlanders ever since dad walked out on us, and here I am about to bear the child of not only the Major General of the Rheinland Military, but a man whom I met only weeks prior to conception.

Like mother like daughter, no?

I wonder if I can encourage Gunther to come along. The reaction on his face when he first meets my mother would be priceless. And it might help her to accept the fact that Gunther is a good man if she can poke his brain, and other organs, a bit.
