198. Weekly Dispatch XLIX


Diary of Endelle Stroth - 36.08.2270


I can’t help pondering the fate of GLoW once all this is over. I’d like to imagine that they’ll somehow be able to convince everyone that they were heroes who had liberated the Fortitude from the Queils. If anyone could sell that, it would be Challe. But perhaps some tales are just too tall.

More likely, they’ll all serve out their sentence on some mining world in the Serpentis Spiral Arm, until they stage a daring escape. And the artefacts? The irreplaceable relics and fragments of cultural history? They’ll probably find their way back into the hands of private collectors, especially with Project Centennial no longer a going concern. It would be a true slap in the face to everything GLoW represents.

If I sound maudlin, it’s the nerves talking. I do think a bright future is possible, but right now it’s hard to speculate beyond the next few hours.
