Every journey begins with one small kick.
Thereās a word for āsurprise pilgrimageā, you know. Exile. I donāt care. Iāve lived on the Hylaa my entire life, explored every inch of that ship. Itās suffocated me since I was old enough to understand the vastness of the stars beyond those tiny port windows. But now, I have my own ship and her windows are bigger. Sheās not much to look at, but sheās fast- even if itās at the expense of armoring. They say itās bad luck to fly an unnamed vessel, but Iāll need to learn her language first. Iāll need time to listen to the unique hum of her engines beneath my feet, her subtle vertigo. She deserves a name that suits her. Iām well stocked, despite my hasty departure. Two packs full of nutrient paste, a footlocker brimming with emergency medical supplies, and my favorite: my fatherās shotgun. An M-22 Eviscerator. I donāt know much about guns [yet, as Iām about to go strip it down and figure out what makes it tick] but my father was a marine, so I can at least assume that itās highly modified. I can hope so, anyway. Thereās a good chance Iāll need it on Omega.
