Why did I ever get involved with her in the first place? I must be hung over just thinking about it at this focus level. Damn, I know I shouldn’t have had that much Zanitol, but it was my celebration after all and I enjoyed at least most of the party.

I guess I owe her an apology for bringing up an awkward incident that happened between myself and her sister when we were all stationed on EB219 seven years ago. Plus she still thinks I don’t care enough about what happened to her sister Silvia. She only knows that her sister disappeared after the Urite shipment hijacking occurred 10 weeks ago on Oberon. Zanitol’s…
