A lot's been happening.

[ honestly? he's just glad that he hasn't actually faded into nothingness like he'd been scared he would. ] And I haven't made as much progress on the plants and seeds as I'd like.

But the good news is, the seeds we found are viable and they're growing. They're all catalogued, too, and if something goes wrong with the replicators, we won't starve.

[ probably. he's pretty sure on this one. ] I still want to improve the nutritional value of the various species as much as I can, but for now, I think we should spread out the plants. The station seems build for it and honestly? It's a good idea. Means that if something goes wrong on one end, we might not lose everything.

[ although this station, much like any other, is a simple complex system. cascades of failure can happen. ]

So if you're not afraid to get your hands dirty, come talk to me?

Brace yourself, because this is probably going to sound really dumb.

So, everyone where I'm from is raised by a monster animal that we call a lusus, and we care for the lusus in turn as we grow up. The ones who are destined to become the empress all get raised by this one giant psychic leviathan with a name that sounds like when you blow bubbles in water. Gl'bgolyb, I think that's how you say it?

Anyway, if her voice ever got louder than a whisper, it would start killing trolls. Even across the galaxy. That's psychic powers for you, I guess. So, when my planet started getting bombarded with meteors and she started screaming, well! That was sort of the end of that.

That -

[ sounds very strange. ]

Dumb isn't the word I'd use.

[iustitia]

Stupid? Convoluted? Weird?

[contorta]

Odd.

Gosh, I've had so many odd things happen to me that I don't even know where that falls on a ranking list. Sometimes my life feels like a nonstop parade of absurdity. You just sort of learn to go with the flow after a while.

Where does this station rank?
