Sorry for the delay. There was a midair/space/whatever collision between some ships and the ensuing debris cleanup ensured that our transport for a contract was delayed for nearly a goddamned day. Won the battle though, so I guess things could've gone worse.

Battling went well today. Paired up with Kazu and raised some hell on a few worlds, him with his ever-cherished HMG and me alternating between my sniper rifle and a load of breach shotguns I'd ordered the other day. Only two rounds to a magazine sucks something awful but holy shit does it leave a dent when I land a shot. Almost racked up ten million in ISK, but my cache of equipment is beginning to run dry, so I'm probably going to straddle the line between making and spending money before I start actually turning a profit again.

Therapist told me to try and find some old interests outside of battles, and introduced me to coffee. Holy fucking shitballs, my life up until now has been lessened due to it not having this miracle substance in it before. Don't get me wrong, tea is fine and shit, but the smooth aroma, the thick texture, the inky blackness of a good pot of coffee...mm....Uh...anyway, so he introduced me to that during our session, and I guess it's a little obvious that I'm hooked. Made a filter show up on my station's map so I can see where all the vending machines that dispose it are, and I will be damned if I don't start the day with some from now on. Heh, now that I think about it, I'm spending what would be thousands, if not millions planetside just for a simple cup of coffee. Almost boggles the mind a little.

New corp is pretty much the same thing I left, only with a bit more of a proactive stance on bettering their status amongst the others and some supposed democracy to how its officers and shit work. I'll believe it when I see it, but whatever helps them sleep at night. Long as I can keep putting lead and lasers into other mercs, they can do whatever they damn well please. Still, they play a damn sight better than most of who was left from SOON, so I'm willing to stick around for now.

It just occurred to me that I could probably put a coffee maker in my room, but...where do you buy something like that? Or coffee, for that matter? I just buy meals aboard the station, and rations are automatically given when it comes to contracts that have us taking longer flights. I guess I could go planetside for something other than wrecking people's shit for a change, but...I'm not sure I could. So many people, doing things simply living out their lives to the best of their abilities, and here I am murdering the shit out of other people just to turn a quick buck. A really, really big buck, but still...I think I'll just stick with the vending machines, for now. Besides, what planet would I go to for it anyway?
