Change

*Log entry back dated ####*

There's an old saying from my training on Saisio, "the only thing that stays the same is the fact that everything changes".

Twice in barely over a month, I've found myself packing everything I owned and moving. Oddly, this time it was back to Sinq Laison... fortunately, neither Vaden nor I are ignorant enough to return to work for that bitch Liiza. No, the other end of that particular region.

Add to that I see "Blue Bunnies"... people that have always shown themselves as hostiles on my interface are now on my NA listing. I'm even expected to fly with some of them, I hesitate to even look at the number of Veto, or Veto friendly, Pilots that have lost something during my last employ. At least, the few I've dealt with during the move were able to put on a friendly face, I just hope they don't plan on getting a chance to get behind me; at this frame in infinity they hold less trust than a starving drooler in a Matari orphanage.

Not to mention, the fact my cloaking technician caused me the loss of a ship. He's being summarily punished for his mistake, and it's just ISK, but he made a mistake. Fortunately the destruction wasn't complete, just enough to force my Pod to emergency eject, and the majority of the slaves onboard Ender of Hubris were able to evacuate via escape pods that routed themselves back to the station for pick-up.

*Inara's mood brightens slightly*

There is good news however... Mortis' little sister, Reppy, was simply delightful. I wish Jane wasn't so opposed to her status as my slave being known to other Pilots (but contracts are contracts), I know she would have enjoyed dessert with us. I've never met someone so wide eyed with wonder at the smallest things, it was rather refreshing to see that kind of naivety in a Pilot and not have it be a complete facade. So timid, rather unusual for someone of her former post in life... but nothing I can't rectify.

On a more practical note, I'm leaving all planetary assets in Tzvi. It's not but a stone's throw away, and uprooting an entire community twice in such a short time period could cause me more disgruntled subjects than it's worth. Besides, rebuilding the infrastructure to support them, again, does not sound like a pleasant prospect. There is still additions being made in Tzvi as we speak, so my foremen are going to have their hands full keeping good communication with me while my residence isn't on site.

*sigh*

I guess I should get back to arranging my belongings here... I hate moving.
