"Well! the last few days have certainly been interesting! My first day back in space was filled with...violence, a handful of pirates lost their lives, which is never something taken lightly....but at least I know I've not forgotten how to pilot a ship in my absence..."
Rachel sighs softly.
"Buuut, of course, there are much better things I could be talking about...like for example, my er...tour, of a Renzu Liner owned by a very handsomeahah, apparently wealthy man, named Luc Morningstar. Let me tell you diary, that ship was amazing! even the furniture looked, and felt like it probably cost more than the weapons on my Guardian! it was amazing...I've never, -ever- seen a ship like that before...I'm wondering if I'll get to take another tour at some point, explore the ship a little better next time maybe...I mean, I only saw a couple of the bedrooms...but that's not important!"
She laughs happily.
"But again...I'm just ranting on and on. More importantly, Admiral Hale saw fit to promote me to Captain, it's going to be a more paperwork intensive deal than what I'm used to, but it still keeps me in a ship and that's what makes me happiest! that and well, the shiny new collar pins are nice too!"
Rachel pauses, laughing softly this time.
"No but in all seriousness, I intend to perform the duties assigned and trusted to me as a Captain of the Liberty Navy, to the best of my abilities. I intend to lead by example and not to fail my superiors, OR my subordinates. The Navy is my family...I mean, aside from dad but...I guess he doesn't count anymore much..hah..there I go again, digressing from the important and happy, into something depressing and serious..."
Rachel sighs heavily, before finally turning off the audio recorder.
