Welcome, Ahmed al Mustaffa!
-= Opening Diary =-
Salam aleikum. This is Ahmed al Mustaffa, the future captain of the luxury liner Bahariya speaking.
Here, on Akabat, the situation is getting worse every day. We fear of a Nomad invasion, we fear that the same thing that has happened to Toledo might as well happen to our beloved Akabat. Thus, we, my family and I, have decided to move. Bill "Bob" O'Brien, a good man from Liberty, was eager to help us get a liner, in which we will travel and live, until we find a suitable home. At the same time, he will disregard that I have once worked for the Order. In return, we will explore the unknown worlds and sell the discoveries in his name.
Our voyage plan is simple:
1) My family and I, along with the full content of this modest library, are to be transported to Liberty, where we will meet Mr O'Brien.
2) Mr O'Brien's yacht will carry us to Bretonia, where we should purchase the liner, get our mechanic, Eamon McKenna, and our guide, Spatial Starflier.
3) We will load one year worthy supplies and head to the Taus.
4) If we don't find what we were looking for there, we will head to Gallia.
5) After we explore the House, we will load more supplies, probably the last time.
6) If we don't find the rumored path to the Omicrons, we will go trough the Omegas first.
- If we don't find what we are looking for in the Omegas, we will move to the Omicrons.
7) If we find the rumored path from Gallia to the Omicrons, we will, hopefully, pass trough it and reach the Omicrons.
8) There, we will search for it.
9) If we don't find it there, we will look in the Omegas.
10) ...

Welcome, Ahmed al Mustaffa!
10) What we are looking for - long ago, thousands, maybe even millions of years, the galaxy was flourishing. Everybody was rich and everybody could have whatever they wanted. People could even buy their own, private planets, produced by an incredibly overdeveloped civilization. But, because everybody already had what they needed, the galaxy's inhabitants quickly got bored. Some left in an unknown direction, while the others have stayed and have returned to the old ways of life. However, the galactic economy has never recovered. Thus, nobody could buy planets. The incredibly overdeveloped planet has decided to just take a nap until the situation gets better. The planet is spoke to contain many priceless commodities and other riches. The one who discovers it is destined to be probably the wealthiest man in Sirius.
That planet is called Magrathea.
In these educated times, nobody, of course, believes in this, but I've got some proofs and Magrathea is the only chance for my family and me to have a happy life.

Salaam alaikum. This is Ahmed al Mustaffa speaking.
*He puts a smile onto his face.*
Two days ago, I have purchased my liner and named her LL-Bahariya. I am yet to assemble my crew. Mister O'Brien has asked me to transport some ore and cargo in order to pay off my debt. When I fully assemble my crew, I am going to do so.
At this moment, everything seems to be flowing according to plan. The expenses were a bit greater than expected, but it's not much. The Bahariya seems to function well and she should be able to stand such a long and exhausting journey. The main crew is impatient, but in good order.

*Crew singing a Christmas carol can be heard in the background.*
Salaam alaikum. This is Ahmed al Mustaffa speaking.
Merry Christmas, everyone! I am no Christian, but that doesn't mean I can't also celebrate!
The crew was sad that they won't celebrate this Christmas at home, but I let them celebrate it here. We have drinks, food, music, many will, or have already sent a Christmas card to their families. The turkey will be served tonight. A nice holiday atmosphere.
As you can see, I have put on my best suit and, regardless my different faith, I'm celebrating the holiday with my crew.
We are departing as soon as we assemble the whole crew. I hope it will be soon. May any and all the Gods help us on our journey.
