No! I do not enjoy spending nights outside in the cold! Yes, we are on a previously uninhabited planet, but we have houses now and I didn't spend 8 years training to be a mechanic for this. I shouldn't need to go traipsing about investing “mysterious disappearances”. I'm a mechanic not some daredevil explorer. I build the things to prepare us for adventure, I should've had a simple fire starter on hand at the very least. Instead I nearly blew us into pieces trying to shoot a jar of fuel. Even middle school students back home would know better! Well, next time I'll be prepared. I'm going to sort out my stuff and try to establish comms back home. It's been way to long since I've called back. I'm sure my family is worried sick about me.

Sentient waterbeds pose an interesting challenge. Perhaps I should look into a protocol droid. droids aren't cheap though and I have no idea how to make them… yet another thing to get advice on from back home. Now that we're settled I should at least organize my mechanics garage. I can't even remember what is where…

Varad just came running in yelling about some pirates. Oh dear. I haven't set up any protections for our homestead, and this Jumpmaster isn't gonna cut it at all. I feel like I'm not going to get the chance to properly kit SoFA out in time. At least I was able to figure out how to turn Flashfruit into fuel. All those chemistry lessons weren't a waste after all!
