Decompression

I don't think I've ever been happier about a shore leave in my life. The past month has been unbelievable, and I needed a break from the ship. I'll probably stay on the space station so I can take care of the lab during the refit, but I'm thinking about going down to Risa for a bit. Ever since I read about the underground bioluminescent gardens, I've been dying to check them out. If anyone would like to join me, I'd love the company. I gawk at plants by myself all the time, so what's the point of a vacation if I don't shake my routine up a bit, right?

[Personal Log]
A philosopher long ago said, "There was Stalingrad and there was Buchenwald, and neither of the two wipes out the other." I've seen triumphs of courage and feats of treachery played out on my own ship, and I don't know what to make of it all. Perhaps I never will; maybe that's the point. The same paradoxes seem to find us even hundreds of lightyears away...
