Right, I don't expect anyone to remember this - or remember anything about this because I have written to myself several times 'No one remembers!' and I have underlined this twice, so clearly this has happened for several days. No one will remember this either, but I will put this here for myself, and my journal notes.

There is something different with the tubes. When I open the Marvisa up, there is something different with the tubes. Some are a blue-green in color, and others are now ... black. They were not black last year, and now, I have no idea why they are.

[He exhaled, rubbing his bearded face.] I have no idea how we are getting answers from this, and I know I am writing this all down again.

Yes and no. I wouldn't be surprised if the majority of worlds we've visited were affected by their technology, but I would doubt we're visiting the same ones over and over again. There's no need, with the vastness of the universe. We could visit a new planet every month for decades, and not touch a bare fraction of the stars in a single arm of a spiral galaxy. If we're closer to a galactic center, as would be implied by the short distance between systems, it would be an even larger number of potential candidate worlds.

I suppose so ... although it unnerves me that they have such control in a galaxy as vast as you are describing. It concerns me that we may never be free of them and their machinations.

It's a valid concern.

However, we can do little of value unless we continue to gather information at every turn and take direct action when the opportunity arises.

My fondest wish is that one day, someone will tell me I am just being 'silly' for being so paranoid about these people.

I also cannot argue with that, in the slightest.

I'm certain you could get someone to tell you that, of course. But I trust what you mean is that you would believe it when they did.

Yes, that is it precisely. So far, I do not hold much hope for that particular dream ever coming true.

Perhaps some day, it will be.

Until then, I wish us all good luck.
