I used to chase penetration bounties for +the Corporation, so systems and security are a comfort zone. +I'm confident that these transmissions are safe. + +No contact with Wells. He did transmit again on the DSN, but +no real information. Knowing him, I'd say he sounds bad off, +but it's hard to tell without hearing his voice. I have a +few guesses on his destination; if the solar winds are +favorable, I'll check on those hunches soon. Still no +indication he's reading here, but he might not say in a DSN +transmission, as his keys there are old. He's being cryptic +on purpose, though it sounds like what he wants to say, he +intends for all to hear. In any case, I can at least tell +that he needs a break. + +Since travel is slow for me presently, maybe I need a break +from thinking about all this too. The payload I have onboard +makes that a bit difficult; I can hardly stop thinking +about it. I really need Wells to figure it out. + +One pleasant distraction as I've been traveling through +systems that I haven't visited in many ESR's are the myriad +ships that I've encountered. The QEC seems to be highly +utilized, at least for the type of channel it is. Though a +ship like mine isn't likely to draw much attention as I move +about, it's interesting to monitor the chatter from the +other vessels. Some I've even seen on my scopes. Some are +friendly, others not as much. It's odd what causes offense +in the universe, and how some beings handle that offense. + +I just set my nav for my first guess at Wells' new hiding +spot. Thrust is reasonable, equipment is sound, and I hope +to reach port in not too many sleep units. + +A plea, before I transmit this stream of thought: Old +friends and business associates, if you locate Wells and +he doesn't terminate you for it, please reach out on one of +the old back channels. It's hard to trust anyone, but if I +hear from you in an established way, I'll know the +information is legitimate.
