The Journal Entry’s title

by Verity

Verity can't believe how quickly the time with Lucid passed. She was so different, and yet she was still much the same. She had her same eccentricities, but definitely learned to stop and think a bit more before speaking. Her hugs felt the same, cold, but surprisingly tight. Narrow, but expressive.
 
Peter is going to borrow Verity's ship to attend to some fleet business on Midguard (Someone's Thesis/Manifesto might be in desperate need of notes from Peter). The ship had saved her life a time or two, but most recently it had actually threatened and hurt her and her friend Lucid.
 
After Peter departs, Verity receives a ping, somebody is looking for Peter/Crew of the S.S. Good Times. They'd like to meet in the same cafe where Lucid's sibling had appeared.
 
Benat, and Verity head to the meeting bringing Zombie Castor along.
 
2 people in a window booth, one is in business casual with a guild pin, and a woman in specifically a syncestraean dress uniform. A very tidy looking woman. Verity gets an orange juice. The woman is drinking Kiffy, what the locals call the coffee in here.
 
Benat introduces himself as the acting captain. We meet Susan Gwen, and Captain Amalia.
 
Verity provides their Bessarion Address.
 
Susan Gwen starts talking: The guild is more than just The Mail, a ship has gone missing, and Dr. Bong trusts the crew of the Good Times. The Deep Night Endeavor, a ship went missing and it was a big scandal, representing a very fragile alliance. When it went missing the alliance abandoned the search for the ship at the beginning of the year.
 
Verity has read a few articles about the investigation
 
Dr. Bong believes that it will be important to retrieve the information from the Deep Night Restoration mission will be very important for Bong's initiative. Bong has been agitating to reignite the search for the last 5 months, trying to find out what happened etc. "We might have an idea of where the ship might be"
 
Verity is very interested in this mission, it starts to light up something in her, exploration, etc. Gaia Restoration initiative.
 
Dr. Bong has become a little more curse-y after coming out of freezing. Verity likes the idea of doing something that actually matters for once.
 
We are going to have a Kiki back at Midguard, maybe figure out which Merc Dudes would like to tag along with us. And we can figure out a reason for Peter to be staying back in Civilized Space, perhaps something with political motives. Amalia has been assigned to assist us.
 
Amalia "I may not be the best scientist, but I hope to be helpful"
 
Verity "Well I don't think we are doing so much of the sciencing, more of the grab-and-run"
 
Benat "Search and Rescue"
 
We make some purchases on The Guild's dime. Verity and Amalia go to buy a pillow for Amalia. Astrid is relieved to have some missiles again.
 
We have a Moot on Midguard. Verity finds that Peter is being really cagey about why he can't join us. He's wrapped up in some personal drama with Dot, and they can't go to bed angry, so they haven't slept.
 
We can jump from Caspia to Prezliak, then pop into Genesis to get some fuel before going into the empty space where the Endeavor was last heard. We do some Fuel Scooping, so Amalia can get some practice. She listens to classical ballet music while scooping, highlighting the artistry for Verity.
 
We jump to the coordinates. we easily loacte the ship, based on her transponder signal. Parts of her hull are still powered. She is located within an ever increasing debris field, but she is largely intact.
