Violet's Diary

[Neko-chan]

-A book lies on the middle of a desk, closed and bound by a old-fashioned simple lock. The cover is in a bark blue with silver paint on top spelling out 'Violet Engel's Diary'. A recored of Violet's thoughts as she writes down her daily events.-

Entry 1, about a week after I joined ICMG

Wow, yesterday's near death experience and the commotion caused by us chasing a Gallic spy ship. It gave me the utter realization to keep a diary.

Anyways, today I work up in New Berlin and traveled back to our operations area. As I entered Orkney and caught up with my friends, a Zoner battleship appeared. We knew right away it was odd, mainly because it has a strange ID as well.

At first, I thought nothing of it, since I, as a Zoner at heart just let my guard down. Then we noticed it was attacked by Counsel bots, this surprised us. But he chased them off we asked to be taken around to the local jumpholes. So my Boss in the Loellingite took him out while I returned to Java to get in my Spatial, since I was in my Big Dragon.

After I jumped in my fighter and few out to return. Roger was yelling at the Zoner battles ship because it opened fired! I could hardly believe it. After a moment of listening I returned to Doubly Station and found that the Loellingite and his wingman where having a standoff with the Zoner battleship.

The pilot began ranting about how the queen was going to kill us all Siriusian, and whatnot. And we all were confused, very confused. Eventually our boss called out help from all out sources to subdue that battle ship. It took off after a few bombers arrived to help. The order came out to final peruse as more carriers where arriving as well.

After a bit of flying around, I found the Zoner back at the far side of Orkney, but soon lost him again. I few away from Reunion station to keep looking, but soon found out the Zoner fled into Gallia.

I double-backed toward Dounby Station and caught up with another IMG carrier. Then we proceeded to the jumphole leading into Gallia. The Loellingite was there ready to enter the jumphole. As a few bombers had already flown in to peruse. I followed our group into the jumphole.

As we exited, I found myself in an eerie reddish system. At first I was excited to be able to visit a new place. Especially since I have visited all the other houses already. But soon... that died as reports of Gallic Navy battleships appeared. Our forward party was attack and we pulled back to the Jumphole to look at the situation.

From there on I was practically terrified, especially since I have no professional combat experience. We sat there seeing if the battleships would come to us, and even a Mercenary who seemed to be hunting IMG ships appeared behind us, although he just had more than bite.

Eventually, we decided to retreat back into Orkney. I happily did so since I had no desire to fight at all. Everyone kind of disbanded after that and I returned to Java.

So, crazy day today AND a promotion! Sweet, even if I was freeking out. Hopefully things will be better tomorrow, maybe do a bit of mining... Definitely Ill get something to eat and drink! And feed my monkeys.

Away from the Gallia incident, I'm starting to not like my Big Dragon... it doesn't feel as safe and intimidating as my Spatial does. I either want somthing with Protection with the cost of something, Or nothing at all and join a big convoy.

So, a Democritus or a Kujira? I'll have to think about it... and make more money.

And ICMG is thinking about a relationship with the Coalition? I personally would say no, although many people seem to like it or not like it. I'd rather have as few enemies as we can, or at least... not as serious enemies... I don't care if we're at war with the outcast. They are often funny, even if they do have illegal activities.

Entry 2, a day later.

Today? Nothing of great importance. It was really, really boring as most of the ICMG crew worked on other hours then me. So I kinda was left with nothing. So today I just hung out on Java, hanging out at the local caf? Just boring.

Entry 3, one and a half days later.

What the hell?! I can't believe Ruby ran off like that! Rango died because of him! Damn those Cartel and Golden Chrysanthemums!

Now I spent the rest of the day in the infirmary and woke up in the middle of the night. Then I took my time repairing my ship as well Looks like Rob, Carth, Zack, and Ina all got tractored by the stupid pirates So now I'm crew-less, have still some repairs on minor systems like my radar and communicator I hope my crew was dropped off someplace safe I never liked them complaining about my way of doing things but I would never wish them pain or death.

So, next time I see a Gaian, I'm gonna ask if they could buy me a new pet. Maybe something calmer than a monkey so it won't get in my way while flying.

Also! I've decided I'm not gonna be a solider of ICMG, if a battle starts; I'll just pull away from the combat zone to watch. So, I guess I'll just request permission to buy a Democritus tomorrow. Provide protection, cargo, and as a mini base too when we're docked someplace. I like the idea. I'm purely gonna be a miner and hauler. So basically I won't be an escort with my Spatial, I'll just be a supporting ship or hauler on my Big Dragon.

So near death experience Number two. Fantastic, fabulous.

Well my Spatial is sixty percent functional right now. Sometimes the life supports quits out. And I have to quickly restart it. My mining scanners is off-line too. So it'll be awhile before I can do very much. I'll start right away on the scanners first I guess.
