DRILLCORP Ltd Employee #52786
JOURNAL ENTRY #271828



"To whom it may concern.

It has been so long since I felt the thrill of a life well lived. Too long, perhaps. I'm not even sure if there is still time left in these bones to make such a change to my stuck-in-a-rut life. But there is something that i should be doing. I feel it every day when i look out through the hangar doors and see the stars glinting millions of miles away. I want to be close enough to be able to touch those stars, but i know that I'm not going to be able to reach out from where I'm sitting right now. So i need to make a move. I need to prove to myself, and maybe only to myself, that there is still some blood left in my veins. Or whatever may pass for blood these days. I'm not completely sure what it is that i'm supposed to be doing, but I know that I won't find out just rotting away in this same room day after day. I hope that once I find it, I will recognise it and embrace it as some sort of purpose. Time will tell.

I have left my pass cards on the desk. All company property will be returned intact, and any that cannot be returned intact, you will be remimbursed for.

In case it isn't obvious, I quit. I'm mining for myself now.

Sincerely
Chim Demex.

P.S.

I.O.U. 200 000 ISK. And whatever the ship is worth. I'll forward it along with the rest of your property."
