Author notes: So yea I'm back...slightly. This idea pooped into my head so I'll see where this story will lead my thoughts. Also, my computer is in the shop getting fixed so i have to write off my Ipad so the font might be weird.

Chapter one

Getting the logs

"I demand to see the Admiral!" A rather pretty mare with tears streaming down her cheeks and dripping to the floor making small rainbows as the water sparkled in the dim sunlight coming from a window yelled at a unicorn guard as he stood in front of her blocking the door to the Admiral's office.

"I'm sorry ma'am but know one sees the Admiral without permission." The guard responded without moving from the door. He had locked his jaw feeling sorry for the poor mare seeing the tears and the piece of paper marked with the fleet's insigne in her knapsack which meant it was most likely a notice of a passed on loved one.

"What's going on her guard?" An old pegasus asked as he walked up behind the guard,he gently pushed his glasses up his snout, he was obviously the admiral since the guard showed great respect towards him.

"This mare is asking to see you sir." The guard responded not letting a single muscle relax.

" Ah, you must be Mrs. Striker." The old pegasus stated as he gently smiled at the crying mare.

"Y-yes." The mare responded wiping her eyes.

"Let her in." The Admiral said softly making the guard quickly step aside to let the mare enter.

The mare pushed past the guard and into the Admiral's office as the Admiral himself sat down behind his desk. He took out two cups and poured some coffee from a thermos. He then pulled out a parcel that was lightly charred.

"We both know why you'e here Mrs. Striker." The Admiral said softly," Blade was one of my best pilots and a close friend."

The mare said nothing as tears continued to stream down her cheeks as she looked past the Admiral,out the window, and at the large shipyard watching the large fleet ships land at docking bays. She didn't know why they were still called ships, the things flew through the atmosphere and into space, anything that flew is considered an plane or something right? Well all this technology was relatively new to Equestria, only ten years has passed since scientists discovered light speed and what not, just trying to understand some of the things she overheard from a couple of engineers working on a light speed engine gave her a headache. She watched as a large battleship or battleplane slowly lift up away from a repair bay, it's massive rail guns shining in the light, it turned around slowly and then flew away. Probably to patrol the equestrian space border.

"Mrs. Striker." The Admiral said softly bringing her attention back to him,"I'll make this short." He gently pushed the parcel he brought out from his desk towards her.

Mrs. Striker slowly took the parcel and opened it seeing that it was a video tablet,"A tablet?" She asked softly.

"Yes, he always kept video journals of his missions and adventures."The Admiral said gently,"Feel free to stay here as long as you want, just ask for me if you need anything."

"What do you mean? Where are you going?" Mrs. Striker asked.

"I thought you would want to watch that in private." The Admiral said and walked out of his office closing the door behind him.

Mrs. Striker looked down at the tablet, switched it on, and stared at the logs put in by her husband," Oh Blade... you always said never to worry..." She said as she tried to hold back the tears as she clicked the play button on the first log.

The screen lit up and the face of her previous husband pooped up on the screen smiling as if nothing happened," Captain's log day one..."
