Long Way From Home Part 4: David & Goliath

Took me almost two days to scale that ridge. I was really hoping for a small camp, maybe a couple tents and some huts. This is not a small camp… A small part of me knew it was going to be something like this but I was really hoping it wouldn’t be. Who knew these morons even had the capability to come up with something like this? My guess is it’s another hostage ship they’ve somehow taken over.

My whole life has essentially led up to this moment. This is it. All or nothing. I have to find my way in and navigate the ship to find where they’re keeping her. Luckily this is an ally ship so I’ll be able to get the blueprints from a higher up somewhere.

The plan is to get in, get her, and get out with as little mess as possible. Now if it were an enemy ship things might be a little different. We might leave a little intergalactic explosive on board behind us but we don’t want to mess with any current treaties in place. Last time that happ- well let’s just save that for another day.

You might think I’m crazy taking on a ship of this size on my own, but you’d be even crazier to think that I wouldn’t if it meant the chance of being with her again. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. There is no option. It’s her or it is nothing. If I don’t come out alive, I can say with all my heart that I tried as hard as I could no matter the odds. I’m a long way from home but I can feel her presence, and that’s home enough for me.

-Til next time.
