Why do these things always happen to me?

After much struggle, I have finally configured my omnitool to cooperate with this outdated blogging platform. The coding is positively archaic, but it suits my needs. Needs being secrecy.

I got tossed in the brig, again. Zeli didn't like the modifications I made to the filtration system on the lower decks- said they were unstable. I said her calculations were bullshit. Hence the temporary jail sentence. I don't give a shit if she's the chief engineer on that level.

I'm smarter.

And they've always said I have a bad attitude. I prefer to think of it as an evolutionary quirk. An anomaly. A benefit rather than a defect.

Sometimes I think that close-quarters breeding has made us overly subservient and cooperative- easy prey, willing victims. It's all I've been able to think about lately. My time aboard the Hylaa is running out and I've heard too many stories about pilgrims being exploited, enslaved... killed.

It won't be me. There are things I need to do, far reaches of the galaxy that I have yet to see. There's something out there for me- something great. And I won't rest until I find it.
