Well the news is good, cryogenics are not impacting my ability to procreate , I just come off my long haul and learnt I have 3 years of child support due. What a mixed up world this will be, soon a son may be the same age as his father, within a short span of life.
His mother wants nothing to do with me, which is fine by me, the money I get will help them a little. I have no need for it, I have become what others are calling our profession Ranidaes, some frog on earth that hibernates in cold climates, even under water and do not need to breath.
Well like last news reports the deep searches have not pull anything that has jar me from my lifestyle, but show the continual strive for perceptual motion.

Since we have three Deep Survey Ships, there is more systems explored for natural habitats, Earth Union say they are looking for the perfect plant to colonize. After the Mars test bed, the costs are prohibitive for infrastructure based colonies.
Chief Director's 15 years stewardship is fast approaching, it would be good for fresh blood, but I agree that to politicise the position, and create smaller terms would make the stewardship position unstable. Anyway they are a figurehead for the departments below them, and just a BrightStar pawn in my humble opinion.
