Joker Logbook Entry

What could possibly put a man aboard a ship bound for the edge of the galaxy, for a rescue mission that never ends?

Some might have thought they knew what they were getting into. Others might have been sweet-talked by UES recruiters and agreed to join.  Others still were picked up along the way. These are all sensible reasons.

This man did not come to be here by sensible reasoning. Less a man, more a walking accumulation of desires. Desire is a powerful thing.  A blinding, unstoppable driving force. Perhaps it acted as some inevitable, invisible hand to bring him aboard this ship. Perhaps the flaps of butterfly wings and bouncing of atoms had the sense of humor to put him here. The one thing that you can be sure of, is that it was not his own desires that brought him here.

It was you. A reflection of your own desires brought me here. Into a never-ending cycle of progress, victory, death. This connects us irrevocably. Thou hast acquired a new vow, guiding thou back to the hearth of the soul. I sendeth my blessing.

I am thou, thou art I.
