They said that I came here through a rift in time. I swear I didn't do it. Not this time anyway so please don't be mad at me.

I have been talking to the other staff members of my clinic and while we specialise in pediatrics if any of you who aren't originally from here need a doctor we are happy to provide three free appointments to you while you get on your feet.

General,

With you planning the move to the new base I feel it imprudent to mention that if I hear anything I will be sure to contact you as per usual.

My name is Selene. I will be landing on Naboo in twelve hours from... now.

I am looking for Michael and Eve Corvin. Additionally, I would welcome a meeting with any other members of the Corvinus family, either side.

Failing that, I will hire on a new crew. You will be able to find the Banshee at the port near the rifter village.

So it seems that I'm back to studying a manual. Again. First the stuff I had to learn about the nations within the Intergalactic Commonwealth (and all the... "Rules for being a good Entitled". Nope, still not Queen Elizabeth.), now I've been given this... "Immigrants Handbook". I mean... would a Lonely Planet be too much to ask? Maybe with a normal vacation attached to it? Highlight on "normal"? Sure, I shouldn't ask too much. Technically speaking I'm an alien. Being born on a ship in the middle of Ocean does that to you, according to the Immigration. Isn't this highly ironic? I can turn it upside down as much as I want... but I'll always be an Immigrant. Only here I'm legal. So much for aunt Nino's prediction that I was destined for great things. I always, always said it: astrology is total bullshit.

According to this booklet, out there it's dangerous. Ha! Big news indeed. I suppose I should've gotten used to the danger, but now I'm on my own, someplace far away from home. Vladie says I'm smart - another one of the countless reasons why I'm unmarried, but I'm still voting for the fact that showing up at a date smelling like toilet detergent tends to scare potential boyfriends away - yet what am I supposed to do for a living? The nice officer said I've been given a salary to get by for about six months, so I have some time to figure it out. No more toilet scrubbing, thank you very much.

It seems I even have a place on my own. Hell, yeah! Privacy, at last! I love my family, but sleeping with your mom and aunt for all of your adult life can be... a bit overwhelming. Of course, the soft snoring has the magic power to make the nightmares go away. If you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss will also gaze into you, according to Nietzsche. I can still see his eyes sometimes when I go to bed. I guess recovering from some bruises takes longer. There isn't a band-aid for your heart or your brain. Well, I have this pretty handsome splice that will definitely get mad at me for getting lost... somewhere in the universe, but it's not my fault. He can't be mad at me, can he? I didn't do anything. Maybe I should've asked the nice officer to write it down on paper for future records. Damn.

All right, focussing on the bad stuff won't make it go away, so for now I should try to understand what the heck I'm supposed to do here. Think positive. Think positive...
Oh! Yeah. I got this smart..thingie. Looks like a tablet.

Hello. My name's Jupiter Jones and I have a compulsive tech-shopping problem.

Hello,

As a nurse I find that I have to ask. Has anyone quizzed the new arrivals to see if there are any diseases in their world that they might be carrying that aren't present in our own galaxy? Many diseases can lay dormant for many years without people realising that they carry them.
