Geren &co,
My friends! Ignore the warnings—I am routing this through the public courier networks.
Apologies for the earlier gibberish…my memory segments are now aligned; there was a block, but it was for my own protection and development, and it has been removed.

[ Redacted ]…
My instructors found my earlier accesses and entries on my little datapad. It had been kept in my personal effects, and it followed me to [ Redacted ]. I thought at first that they would be angry with me, but they weren’t at all. They told me to continue. Said it was good—a sign of a broad hold on myself. They said that breaking through showed strong, well-developed systems connections.
I cannot believe what I have become—if I ever dared to dream, I never could have dreamed of dreaming this.
I am alive again—I’m alive on scale I’ve never been alive. The sheer knowledge that flickers into my consciousness at the tiniest tendril of thought… I feel my weapons, my people, my organs, and I’m aware of them always… and yet still aware of myself.
I am, in ways, a slave … but a voluntary one. And I’m freer than I’ve ever been. I’m currently enroute to Corvalis, where I will begin tests of my new factored RCD drive system. It’s considered to be a dangerous mission—like me, my crew is all volunteer. But if it works, it could change space travel forever.
And I’m an integral part of these tests.
I hope I will get to see you soon! Such as “seeing” is for me… it’s amazing what I can see.
Love you all.
