Paradise... why did I go to paradise this morning. It was quiet but that all changed Laerise came in, still nothing wrong with that we had a little bit of pleasant conversation, or at least it started pleasant enough I don't think I've had to fight harder to let her know what I thought of what she was saying.

"There is love .. and there is marriage, they do not have to be the same."

What? how can she say that.. honestly love should be the building block that paves the road to marriage not someone who just does it because it would be what helps

"I know of more than one happy arranged marriage."

Arranged marriage how can they be happy... for every one happy one there must be half a dozen if not more that at least one of the people are completely miserable. I don't even understand. how Laerise could begin to talk about this especially since her and Chase are in love. She cant even see the other side of it.

"And unlike Mitara I'm not going to suggest a marriage unless it is beneficial to your houses. There is love .. and there is marriage, they do not have to be the same."
"love and marriage do not have to correlate."

I was so frustrated by this point, I would never be in an arranged marriage, god knows my mother has tried several times. I would have sooner married a plank of wood then the 'women' if you can call the robots she choose that. Also as if we would even need her to 'suggest' that we should married if we choose too... if and when I marry it will be for love, out of love even, it will not be because "someones of a suitable background". I have made my mind up on that.

Anyway... enough ranting and raving about that. After all this 3rd shift got a little interesting I started a fleet operation with pilots from the Order of Silence again, Was Shalee, Larzah, Lyradex, and Ves, and myself. We didn't find much sadly but we did manage to jump a bellicose on a gate and took it down pretty quick. Other then that we closed a few plex's and stood down for the evening. Hopefully tomorrow will bring us more action I really wish to continue to practicing my fleet commanding, as Laerise said before we got onto the topic of marriage. "Every fleet commander is worth their weight in gold." lets hope so.
