The little lie you tell yourself sometimes turns back and smacks you in the head. This time was no difference, a quick response to a question I didn’t want to answer turned into this lie which I cannot shake.

This time things will be different I told myself, but who am I kidding? other than me. Liam walked away whilst accepting the lie I so quickly told him.

We lie to ourselves all the time. That we are entitled and of course we are better right?, better than those republicans.

Earth 34 has become so hard after the severance that just getting by has become this constant battle. I need to get my act together before someone finds out I’m full of shit. No time to think I need to get to my shuttle.

After the seed of Earth 33 failed we are the next frontier. There is work to be done on the two moons nearby. We need to establish a defensive outpost if we want to have any chance at what is coming.

Lisa wait for me!, How was your weekend any luck getting the model to work? No still a bust, but I have good hope. Hope always hope, hope is the disease that mankind still carries even at Earth 34. What’s wrong with logic? Logic is what even got us here in the first place. Try building an interstellar spaceship with hope.

I hope we can produce some decent results today, I really need the money.
Did you get your coms up with your brother? No it still need some parts.

It’s funny that the fastness of space really brings you from outwardness to inwardness and the realisation of your own nothingness. Why are we doing what we are doing, are we really Earth 34 and was Origin really the first.

The door closes we are off to Linq.

DALL-E
