The Dark Blossom is opened.
Chapter 1: The Beginning

Personal Log: Margarita Cruz.
Subject: ... Exile.

Its been a long time since I've gone home. I haven't been there in ages. I miss my family, my brother, my mother, my father. I am homesick. I want to go home...

When I left, I wasn't allowed to go back. I betrayed every one I knew and loved, and they hate me for it now. I am but an exile. And to think, I gave up everyone and everything for one man. Its hard to explain, but after the... Well, actually second time I met him, I couldn't stop thinking about him. It was something I've never felt before, probably never will about about another man. Roy Batty, a bounty hunter and part of the Shadow Stalkers. His stupidity started this, but we probably never would have been together if it wasn't because of it.

In any case, since I lost my Sabre in the escape from Malta, the Zoners have hooked me up with an Eagle. Its a lovely ship, and I'm starting to like it. Its a lot lighter than I was used to, but I know how to fly it now. I was able to salvage my Kraken guns from my wrecked Sabre, but not my DARK BLOSSOM. Its all right, though, I've found suitable replacements.

... Hmm, I became a bounty hunter after I my exile. Roy lives on Rostock base in Omega-15, and I bunk with him, there. As a matter of fact, we're planning on getting married soon. Even so, none of the other hunters really trust me. I it's probably my cardamine mask, but its all I have left of Malta, and I'm not letting it go. Mandy, on the other hand, has become quite a good friend. I've flown with her and Roy on a number of their missions. She's taught me a few tricks that I have added to what I learned back on Malta in basic training.

In any case, I recieved a message from my brother, Emilio. He says he's been promoted to Captain and now commands a destroyer. He also says he has leave and will be enjoying it, most purposefully, on Bornholm. The Junkers base that's in this very system. I've decided to meet him there.

Maybe next time I'll write more.

Log ends...

"Hey, Roy!" Margarita almost yelled before kissing him. She couldn't hold in her excitement, and before he could say anything, "Guess what!"

"... Hey, Marg. No ide-" Margarita cut him off.

"My brother, Emilio, you know him, ya?... Oh, no you don't. Well, anyway! He's going to be on Bornholm tomorrow. I want to go meet him and introduce him to you," she looked at him earnestly, "I'd love it if you would go with me."

Roy frowned, "I don't know..."

"There may be a bit of a reward in it," Margarita smiled devilishly.
