    Ajay's Story: 2.0.


    I was sitting on my bed and reading "Angel Exterminatus"[1] in my room aboard the CNS K-719. I've been sitting on that battleship for a long time, mainly due to the fact that my CO decided to separate me from the first friend I've had in my whole life. He said that "Stranger" needs recalibrating and repairs. The ship has been in my care for little less than two years.
    Only now I realized that I really can't live without my Basilisk. How I really want to hop in the cockpit, launch the engine and fly somewhere. Inner Core, Altair, Nomad space, doesn't matter.
    The message came up.
    "Greetings, Ajay.
    The Hypergate is activated.
    Meet me on the landing pad.
    Your CO,
    General Major Igor E. Flyagin."
    I bolted from my bed, quickly got myself into the shape that looked vaguely like Coalition Intelligence Directorate Senior Lieutenant, and left the room, heading towards the landing pad.
    At.
    Flakking.
    Last.


    When I arrived to the landing pad, I've seen my CO. And behind him...
    -You're done

    Ajay's Story: Not Weakened, Not Alone.


    Omega-3 system. GMG Observatory.
    I was sitting on the bed in the cargo hold of the "Stranger" and sending directives to one of my assigned store managers when the console then suddenly displayed the new message.
    "To: "Ajay"
    From: Coalition HQ, Vorkuta
    Captain Mercy has reported for duty some minutes ago. He's got a storage ship in Sirius ready for departure to Inner Core. Assist him if possible."
    -"If possible"? Of course it's possible - I muttered.
    Cpt. Mercy was one of the rare people I could've call my friend. He was a Fighter Corps special operations agent (Or another Intelligence Directorate agent, he never specified) sent to the Inner Core, and in Sirius he was seconded to the Crossfire Police Department. It didn't matter that he double tasked: CFPD kept order in Sirius, which was even useful for us, while outside from Altair his task was mainly to fight aliens - the same task I was usually doing, so no wonder we fought side by side so

    Ajay's Diary: Sudden Surge.


    Well, the day seemed to promise nothing, I thought, lying on my bed inside the makeshift living room in the cargo bay of my Basilisk and reading some "Horus Heresy" books on my personal console. I've been waiting on Mirtrak for a second day since I've made a quick visit to Sirius, and thought about already going back.
    But then, a signal interrupted music in my headphones. A new message. From... none other than Flyagin himself.
    Last time I've seen, heard or at least got a message from my commander was last year ago, so I was glad to hear he's doing alive and well.
    Switching from the "Flight Of The Eisenstein"[1], I opened the message and started to read.
    "Ajay,
    Defense Ministry agreed to start mutual operation with Independent Operations Consortium in Jokusuka. They asked Intelligence agents for assistance, and since you are well-known to Dom'Kavash, in order to take the easiest way to fulfill this mission I've been instructed to send you to do this. You are to

    Damn... Well, its THAT time of the year. Sitting home near the fireplace, browsing the web, doing absolutely nothing. And then, boom, it strikes me. I'm a senior, what the heck am I going to do with my life? I've been browsing colleges, academies, all kinds of schools looking for something that may poke my interest. So far, just one. IT Academy. Enough choices, perfectly balanced studies plan, and what I was looking for the most, certificates that are valid worldwide. Now don't get me wrong, they all got certificates, but most of them are just valid in the place I live, the Balkans. So far, I'm really into this, as it has 2 things I'd like to apply for. It's either Programming, which is very thorough, with enough things to study, and alot of free will while studying, and than there's Multimedia. I already have the basic knowledge for this, and I'm torn apart here. Pick programming, which is awesome, or pick multimedia, for which i already got basic (well, lets say intermediate)

    I was on my way back from a voyage to Banysia, and was going through Kinak when the tade Lane ahead of me showed signs of travel.
    Since I didn't see any ships in front of me I was a bit perplexed at the activation of a trade lane for what seemed to be, no reason at all.


    I exited the trade lane and saw nothing about, so I docked with the gate and went to Assris.


    Once in Assris I was approaching the last trade lane before the gate to Sorror, and just before I hit the dock button ( F3 ) the trade lane activated as if someone else was behind me.
    I quickly docked with the TL and waited on the other side once I exited, and seconds later here is what I saw...

    Danger Will Robinson, Danger!



    Warning, Warning!..The klaxon sounds...Core Meld Down is Eminent!


    Just my luck, three weeks out in deep space and this happens - Systems Down, processors off line, controls aren't responding!
    Suddenly everything went dead and there I was a drift in Space, no way to navigate, just an emergency backup beacon, and hope someone will find me.



    Two Months later picked up a drift by a lone Scout vessel, and soon towed to the nearest Star Base.
    A systems analysis showed that the software I uploaded prior to my last launch was far to advanced for my ships systems, and slowly but surely lead to catastrophe.



    To prevent this from ever happening again I pooled my resources, went back to square one to rebuild my ship, so not only can it handle today's software but with the ability to upgrade core components, even tomorrows.



    It was a rough road with several out of the dock engine stalls, and chips being fried when I attempted to engage hyper drive giving me Star

    Diary of Ajay. "Returning to the Source".


    Before fourth wall establishment.
    This is a pure fiction, on-station junk, lot of headcanons, blah blah blah, less of actual events. You've been warned.


    -*Yawn* Oh, my head...
    I reached my glasses, put them on and turned on nightvision mode - it was dark and I needed to find a switch. Reaching it and beginning another morning. After 30 minutes I was ready to get to cockpit and take off. I grabbed my electronic pad and checked my mail account input.
    -Junk, spam, junk, Black Guard Squadron[1] joining offer, spam, spam, junk, spam, junk, junk, spam, Coalition High Command message, junk... Coalition High Command message?
    I opened message.
    "Dear K(NO WAY IN HELL ME WRITTING MY SURNAME HERE) Ivan Ivanovich, Lieutenant of Coalition Intelligence Agency.
    You need to arrive on the board of "CNS Gorlowka" carrier as soon as possible. This is urgent and it is an order.
    Your commanding officer
    Colonel Igor Flyagin."
    -Already a Colonel? About time - I murmured to

    *Yawn*.
    Waking up in darkness and slapping my hand on the table in search of my glasses. Grabbing them, putting on my nose and trying to recognize where the flak I am. Well... Kurgan gunboat plastic 1:72 model on the table and PKP machine gun under it. Right, I am in my ship. And where correctly? LPI Huntsville, as i understood when took my personal pad.
    Getting shower, dressing uniform and putting my cap on my head, then getting to the cockpit and starting launch sequence.
