	If I learned one thing from this run, it's that running for personal reasons is messy and dangerous. I think I understand now while Zenith comes home to me full of homes everything he goes looking for his missing wife. When someone you love is involved, it's impossible to think straight. Impossible to act with cold professionalism. That's why I nearly died last night. When I heard the shooting start, I felt cold. Not the cold of dread, but the cold of dispassionate, almost suicidality selfless fury. I killed three men in a handful of heartbeats, then threw myself across a room to engage a guardian spirit in hand-to-hand combat. I knew what I was doing was almost certainly suicide. Either that spirit or I would fail to walk away from the encounter. If one strike did not kill it, it would kill me.

			If I learned one thing from this run, it's that running for personal reasons is messy and dangerous. I think I understand now while Zenith comes home to me full of homes everything he goes looking for his missing wife. When someone you love is involved, it's impossible to think straight. Impossible to act with cold professionalism. That's why I nearly died last night. When I heard the shooting start, I felt cold. Not the cold of dread, but the cold of dispassionate, almost suicidality selfless fury. I killed three men in a handful of heartbeats, then threw myself across a room to engage a guardian spirit in hand-to-hand combat. I knew what I was doing was almost certainly suicide. Either that spirit or I would fail to walk away from the encounter. If one strike did not kill it, it would kill me.

			I think, if it had. If it had killed me then. I think I'd have died in despair not knowing if I'd saved my Zenith. Sometimes obliviousness is not mercy, though perhaps, sometimes, oblivion can be.

			Sometimes you gotta help a chummer out. Even when it's not in your best interest. Admittedly when Vipes first told me about this, I thought it was going to be a fairly simple hit. Sure the guy was a Yak, but I've hit syndicates before and not been caught. So no major problems. The issue that we run into that Vip3r didn't actually need him dead really. She wanted him dead sure, but there are other ways to make sure they can't use info against you. I called in a favor from someone I didn't really want to call in from, but it was the way that Vip3r could get on an even level with the fragger.

			Course then we get to the next part, and we're pulling someone innocent out of an MCT fire. I try not to kill unless I'm getting paid for this, but these fraggers deserved to eat the bullets. Though it means that a megacorp can find me if they want to. This is a problem. Lets just hope I'm low enough priority that it won't become too big of a problem until my other problems are cleaned up.

			Zero and Black Sam I hadn't worked with til now, but both of them are quality runners. Zero is a bit too nice for this line of work, but she's got Vip3r's back, that's more important sometimes. Black Sam has his own issues, but knows his drek.

			Can't say I'm sad to be moving out of Bellevue soon though, too much concentration of folks in my personal life around here.

			I've been fairly confident of my general immortality for a while now. I've been stabbed, shot, mostly stabbed, blown up, and all sorts of heinous things. I've punched a corpo in the face when using my real name. I've made a close ally from the very org I've waged a blood war against. I've come out alive after my vendetta.

			The people around me--though--they aren't half metal and uninterested in a long lifespan. Finn, Piper--shit, even Hank...my actions might get them killed. My inactions might get them killed. I need to be smarter--to be better. I need to get my shit together. I don't want to keep being the liability.

			Fuck.

			I need a drink.

	I'd say it'll be nice to have a family again, but... I kinda already have one, in a way. I'm lucky to know the people I know. Zenith and Shine and [[Black Samurai\|Akira]] and Zero are all great runners who are great at what they do, and they've got my back no matter what. That's not something you get to just ''have'' in the shadows, and I don't know what I managed to do to deserve that.		I'd say it'll be nice to have a family again, but...

			Okay, so, once upon a time when I was a kid who had to see the psych every month to get my addy scrip and the therapist every couple of weeks to work on...myself...I was told that journaling can be helpful when your brain is being shitty. I know this ain't exactly a journal but I figure, eh, close enough. So here we go, just gonna lay all my thoughts out exactly as they come to me.
