...uh, is this thing on - oh, okay!

Been in space over a week now, and I already got the feeling maybe I should'a just shot myself in the foot and stayed at home. I mean - you know the recruiting pamphlets are mostly guff, so's to make the great governmental "space-adventure" seem a little more palatable, but I didn't realise it was gonna be all guff!

What was it they said?

"Sending humanity's best and brightest out amongst the stars!"

Now if we were humanity's best and brightest, would they be sending us off into the unknown like this? Seems half the people on this ship are here 'cause they watched too many holovids when they were younger, and the other half... well, I don't have them quite figured out yet. Me? I just got tired of the Manhattan skyline. Honest.

Ach, it's not that bad. I'm just feeling a little cranky because there's some kind of fault with the air scrubbers on the lower decks - where my quarters are - right now. Nothing life-threatening, just the whole place stinks of rotten eggs and engineering haven't figured out the problem yet. I guess something crawled into the ventilation and died, or some such. Some poor soul's gonna have to crawl in after it soon enough. This ship was supposed to have been locked down tight while we were in space-dock, doesn't bode well for whoever was in charge of quarantine.

How's security? Just fine. Everybody's too busy being too damn excited right now to make any trouble. Ask me again when we're a few more light years out and the boredom has settled in.
