Then again, the first six days felt like a year. We had the enemy jumping into our space every thirty-three minutes, and we had to defend the fleet while they tried to coordinate a jump out of there before we were caught in the middle of an ambush. Every thirty-three minutes for over five days. And since we didn't have enough pilots for a real rotation we all flew, all the time. They had us running on stims to keep awake in the cockpit."
