I've REALLY got to get out of the bad habit of corp-hopping. Which is why I plan to stick with Re-Aw for a long while yet.
The best-laid plans...

Transportation of materials, assignment of build and research orders, fine-tuning of my market activities and so on doesn't take up a lot of time. I'd estimate that I spend... oh, about an hour maybe on keeping my private empire running.
Of course, the man-hours involved in keeping that many people, ships, and facilities supplied and managed is gargantuan, but that's what being immensely wealthy is for - I pay other people to pay some other people to sort out paying all the other people. Simple.
I've not spoken to Cia in a while. She must be busy being CEOrente. I miss her cooking - Nicole could burn a glass of water. I'll drop her a mail.
...maybe I should take a second look at that offer from Re-Aw. I miss having people around the office who aren't actually my employees. Since I've taken the holdings company into space, I'll need to appoint a new CEO for HDH... Sinikka could probably do with the distraction. She's all depressed again, between her ongoing argument with Meera and her love life. She needs to bury herself in work and since the school let her go she's been at a loose end.
I'll take her to the Mind Clash tomorrow, run the idea past her. Think she could do with a brother/sister night out anyway.
... Slow week.

Nicole and I don't see much of each other at the moment. We're both busy people, looking after our obligations.
When I went home last night though, she was still up. She had a cup of tea waiting for me. She didn't notice me come in at first, though. She was reading a report of some kind to keep herself awake, obviously tired.
I have no idea how it happened. If it was just being in the right mood at the right time. If it was that simple gesture of patience - she was so tired, but she still stayed up to see me. It made me realize something. I wasn't avoiding letting her know how I felt out of cowardice.
I was doing it because I love her too much to hurt her like that. The idea of saying "I don't love you" to her felt so wrong because I DO. It's a changed love, confused by painful months of absence, but not a wrong one. I'm an idiot for not realizing it sooner.
Only my Rakkai could get me that tangled up in my head. Only my Rakkai could sort me out without even knowing I was wrong in the first place. I bet she has no idea why I decided to sneak in the room and give her a squeeze from behind after weeks of being a little distant.
But I think she appreciated it.

Turns out that every time my people dirtside in Korama build a wetware mainframe, I'm shipping in one hundred and twenty-one point six cubic meters of water per unit built.
Given that a wetware mainframe is a neat hundred cubic meters, I think maybe I should have a word with my foremen about production efficiency.
Although I am amused that wetware mainframes live up to their name in such a dramatic fashion...

Sinikka sent me this. It's from Lady Vesta's soliloquy in "The Three Dawns".
Uoka hilaa muutisheno hak ukeirot.
Vilitu hui itsu kiriit raka muuti
Uka iao haki.
Haki dai iao uka.
Haki raka sho.
Nei dotietoshi iaani uka
Rukkuya nei.
Oddly, it describes how I feel perfectly, but for very different reasons. Funny how the same words can fit almost totally opposite emotions so well.

I have to take care to stay balanced, not to focus too hard on Sansha's Nation.
What I'm doing is important. I'm saving lives, euthanizing the ones who can't be saved, making the world, by degrees, a place that people can live in without fear. The people of New Eden are wary of capsuleers, but we're their shield, their umbrella against the rain. hopefully, they'll come to see that we're not monsters - we're just very, very human.
But I'm having to make a conscious effort to avoid fixating on the fight. I spend every minute of my time in the capsule either flying to the nearest invaded constellation, or fighting to liberate it. I spend time in the labs examining Sansha nanotechnology, looking for counters to it, or at least some insight into its' creators admittable genius.
I'm in danger of becoming a different kind of slave to Sansha - one enslaved to his opposition, rather than his will.
And I'm in danger of neglecting the people I love.
...And the people I'm not sure I do love any longer.
