  Summary

  Mostly IDW AU/timeline but will fit into most other tagged timelines as well

  Hello to whoever is reading this. Upon my lovely amicae’s nagging insistence, I have finally decided to keep log of my research. For ‘historical purpose’, as she calls it. Considering this four-mech crew aboard the Vesteris— and I highly doubt it’ll grow— I hardly understand the purpose of filing anything into the archives. I suppose this is better than having to do a holovid, which was Wildclaw’s original idea.

  We ended up coming to a compromise, as you can see.

  Or: I am writing a diary for Swiftie. Sort of.
