  Summary

  A couple months after Robin Ayou lands in Sector Zero to investigate Sam's death, some of her friends at XenoWorx get worried that they haven't heard back from her. So naturally, the solution is to send down a completely untrained intern to investigate.

  Fic written in the form of daily logs (for the first 60 chapters/15k words), not really beta-d.
  Featuring: the mental and emotional effects of prolonged isolation, a little bit of blood, some attempts at humor and levity, and questionable life decisions. Maida isn't there until chapter 66
