Hey Becky!
How are you? Settled down nicely so far? We've been forced to delay the jump, sadly, and have to deal with a few things first. So tell me, how is living on Erie?

Hi Ezrael,
So far it's been nice around here. When I was on the ship with you I never really missed the sun or the sky but now that I am here I don't think I can do without. It is also helping with my sleeping schedule which tended to be all over. Went from sleeping 14 hours a day to around 10 now which is good I guess. I'm also able to join in more activities now, every morning I go out with a group to jog around the area, though they are able to go on for much longer than I can so there is still much work to be done to get my stamina to a decent level.
I also went to lunch with a guy I met around here. He doesn't live here but sometimes has appointments with a doctor here. He was nice but a little awkward when it came to his jokes. I did however get the impression he fancies me, though I am not sure if I feel the same about him. Either way it's nice to have a bit more of a social life here. Everyone seems to have their stories and so far everyone was quite open about it as well. I didn't really get that on the Apahanta but I guess the crew just found me a little awkward because of me not really being a crew member so they weren't as open with me.
All in all, I think the drugs are working since my wrist watch only gave a handful of alarms and that was always when working out. Jeff, the robot you gave me, also didn't seem to recognise anything that was off about me so far. I like having him around, makes things less lonely when I am in my apartment. Though I do wish there was more close company since my nightmares are still there every night. It was nice to wake up next to someone whenever I had these dreams but I guess Jeff does his best by getting me some water. Talking to the doctors here about these nightmares didn't really help since they just said I had to take it easy before bed, which I am already doing. The other thing they said was that it takes time.
But that's enough about me I guess? What's up with you and delaying this jump? Does that mean you're still around and that you can come and visit or are these other things in the way for that as well?

Hey you!
Good to read you managed to settle down there. I guess sun and sky are something I, and everyone on the Apahanta, could use from time to time as well. We are currently observing the situation in the Omega-3 system. Bretonia and some smaller groups have had a conflict here, and chances are we will get to gather some wrecks here and there. Free stuff is always good stuff. In the meantime, Maren is on the Apahanta. She and her daughter were in trouble and are currently regenerating from an exhausting little adventure. They are fine, though, so no worries. We also picked up another guest, and we are not sure what to do with her, as she can't speak. Until we know what to do with her, she will remain on the ship.
The jump is still on the to-do-list, though, and I do hope that once Maren and her daughter return to home, we will be able to continue with our plan. I'm really, really, really stoked about it. The guy who traded in the data cache probably had no idea what have gave away to us. So far we restored the coordinates for five systems that are not registered on the neural net navmap. Maybe we're writing history here!
Visiting you is currently a bit difficult to plan. I really would like to come around and see how you are doing. Spending some time with you. You could probably show me some nice areas you discovered. Apparently the region around the Healthcare Home is barely touched by mankind. Just don't get lost there! But then again, Jeff is programmed to find you in that case, so your big roboter friend will protect you from anything anyway.
Sombra said the weekly delivery is working well so far, I hope that much is true? And I hope you're not secretly selling our drugs at some schoolyard to children!
Really looking forward to see you again, Rebecca. You know what I wanted to do next time we see each other...

Hi Ezrael,
So far the deliveries seem to have gone alright, I never heard the doctors saying they had a shortage. Got used to taking them every eight hours now as well. So there is no need to worry about that, though it would be nice if Sombra maybe could say hi but I can understand getting here from the spaceport can take time and that you guys are quite busy.
Hearing that Maren and her daughter were in trouble sounds a little worrying and that you have this person with you that doesn't talk. I hope they are all alright and recovering well. Maybe that person can come here to the clinic? It's safe here and we can sit it out until you're back. I am pretty sure the doctors would at least be able to look after her needs.
Do let me know when you leave though, I'd like to hear your voice before then or even see you. The forest nearby is nice. Lots of trails you can walk and there is even a lake some of the people here go to. It has a waterfall off a cliff and they jump off it. I've not done that though, Jeff said I shouldn't considering how exciting it might be. I really hope that at some point I can prove that stress doesn't make be freak out but according to the readings so far I still have to take it easy and not do adrenaline intensive things.
Anyway, good luck with the things you have to do still and let me know if I can help you with anything.
Be seeing you.

Hey there Ez,
So it's been a few days and I wanted to share something with you. I'm not sure how often or even if you check the data that Jeff records, the KSR of yours? I'm assuming it records a lot and since it is yours I guess I wouldn't be surprised if you had full insight in what it reads off me. I guess if you did see the recordings you'd have seen I had a little panic attack, don't worry, nothing bad happened. The nurse here gave me soms meds to calm down which helped together with a nice hot bath. I am still glad you managed to get me a room with a tub, I feel it has helped me out a lot.
About that little episode of mine, it was weird. I met this guy, good looking and a little charming at times. He was a little flirty and after bumping into him at my morning jog I showed him around the clinic's compound. He told me he was looking for a good place that could help him deal with his problems. At first he said he has an alcohol problem but later he explained he was dealing with loss, or rather, unable to deal with a loss. Money didn't seem to be a problem for him so I guess, once approved by a doctor, he might end up staying here as well.
Overall a nice guy at first glance. However I feel weird around him and I can't explain it. It's like you or Leon. I loved being close to you two, especially at night. That same feeling that I only have with the two of you, I had the same with this guy. It gave me the shivers, the way he looks at me or talks to me. It freaked me out which caused the little meltdown I had. He let me be so I could calm down so everything is fine. I just don't really know what to do now. I really want to try and get to know him but at the same time I'm afraid I might get carried away and I end up not remembering anything. Here at the clinic and with Jeff I should at least be in a good hands if something were to happen.
If you have any advice however on how to deal with this or if I had this in the past as well, please let me know. Tomorrow I'll go and see him again in the afternoon to talk. We'll go and meet at a hill close to the clinic. It's at the top of long gone volcano which now has a small lake in the crater. The water there is super clear, you can barely see the difference between the land and the water. I will take you there when you visit since it's pretty secluded. And don't worry, I'll bring Jeff with me when I do see Mason there.
That's about it for this message. Give the crew my regards and I hope you're all doing fine there on the Apahanta. Let me know if I can do anything for that problem you had with that person that didn't talk or something like that.

Hey Rebecca.
It's good to hear from you, or read in this case. Dr. Carr has kept an eye on your medical values, that is true. She is pretty much in a direct contact with Dr. Bryce. Everything seems under control, so we try to not be worried.
I can't tell you how to live your life, Rebecca, that would be inappropiate. If you want my advice, though, make sure Jeff is always with you and no matter who you meet and where they come from: Stay at the Healthcare Center. It's okay to leave the area, but don't leave the planet, at any cost. People will take care of you in the best way possible right where you are. As long as you stay there and have Jeff with you, everything is fine and whatever you do is up to you. Just don't have anyone try to manipulate you to leave or something... which is weird, given I literally do that right now.
Anyway, I'll becoming around in a few days. I desperately need a day off, and you keep telling me about Erie's nice locations. And I'm really looking forward to see you again.
