It's good to be going back. I really do prefer space. It's so much cleaner, and Earth's gravity can be so tiring.Speaking of Earth...well, I suppose that's only a tenuous connection, as this will have an effect space too, but: there has been a huge development on my world, for anyone who is following our politics. The Union, the HRL and the AEU ( Read more... )

Access Denied!? Access Denied?! How can there be something on the system that I, Tieria Erde, cannot access?! This is impossible! It must be some kind of error. Not only has someone tampered with the data in Level 7, but they've locked me out? I. I won't stand for this. I, I won't. I'll fix it. Of course I can. I have to.

My free time is somewhat empty now, I find. I suppose I shall find more tasks to complete. After all, I must finish checking my systems for any signs of forced entry while I was unconscious. I've already found and logged Yuan's attempts, but other than that...there doesn't seem to be anything. I am glad I had the foresight to isolate the connection ( Read more... )

The shock rendered him unconscious, and he now lay drifting in the zero-g of Veda's interface room.

The program has been checked and rechecked, both by myself and the system I'm using ( Read more... )

...what have I done? The damage...it's. It's not irreparable, but...

Could it have known? It seems stupid to think so, but it's not impossible, I suppose.

...weeks worth of work. What am I going to do? I don't have time for this!

The past few days have certainly been...interesting. While I am glad to be back to normal, there have been many things to think about ( Read more... )

Exercising my powers of logic and argument while concentrating on other, more constructive tasks leads to some...strange results, I find. The statements I make are undeniably correct, and the questions I ask are apt to the situation, but on further analysis, there is something disconcerting about the things I appear to have said. They carry a ( Read more... )

Three days later, and the galley still reeks of fish. That's the last time I ever make galie maahi. I should run a diagnostic on the contaminant control subassembly ( Read more... )
