I feel like such a loser. I let @Concrete Morgan down, I let Psyhigh down, I helped build secret bases for some unknown criminal organisation called MORMO, and I was just basically an idiot.

But Mackenzie seemed so great!!! Like, bigger than a friend, but not quite a teacher. Everything about her was cool. I thought. But the whole time she was warping my mind with pschyo hypnotic dance beats. It will be hard for me to trust anyone ever again.

And @Concrete Morgan. I should have defended her at all costs no matter what. And what did I do? I danced.

Only one good thing has happened. Today I was paid a visit by Leim 10. Who is exactly the same as Leim 9. Just not dead.

Turns out there are only 11 "entities" on Ganymede. Leim is one of them. They not only spotted these illegal spy bases orbiting Ganymede and Jupiter at large, but traced them back to Moon base.

Leim is one of the 11 entities that make up the real whole of the Ganymedian population. Those 11 entities sprout off "Blurps" of themselves (their word, in Galapspin), which fill out the working population of the planet - which means hundreds of thousands of individual Blurbs, all remote offspring of the 11 entities. They have all kinds of sub-numbering systems, but the low numbers are reserved special. Like Leim 9, Leim 10...

Basically, the real Leim is some humongous gelatinous blob that lives inside of Ganymede, with his 10 brothers and sisters - filling thousands of cubic kilometers. They sploot off these puss-filled bags that are like remote versions of themselves to do all the work. When Leim 9 got killed, it was no problem to sploot out a Leim 10 that was just another part of big Leim. It knew and remembered everything that Leim 9 did. So in that sense, Leim didn't really "die" at all.

At least I can feel better about that. No real "murder" took place. Er, well, no, there's Mackenzie. Sigh. Now I just hope I can get through the rest of this, and that @Concrete Morgan will forgive me.

Hey everybody. I'm back on solid ground, and feelin' much better.

And I'm not mad at all at @Morgan le Roq. I know she did the best she could, and her bein' hypnotized most the time sure wasn't her fault. She's still a great friend. The only person we should be mad at is that @$!#! Mackcenzie, if she weren't dead. And MORMO, whatever the heck that is.

I got better real quick back on earth - no more dizzy spells. They called in my old Chugach shaman - the one who fished me out of that cement mixer once upon a time and made me what I am. Turns out I'm just not built for living on the moon - somethin' about the sand and gravel and water that I got mixed up with has connected me directly to the earth. This earth. I'm made of it, and bein' up there on the moon wasn't good for me because it was just too disconnected and far away. So it turns out I'll need to face my issues right here on mother earth, and not out in space.

So I've joined the soccer team. And the ultimate frisbee team. And the swim team! I'm going for varsity in all three. Gonna come out and root for me this year? C'mon everybody, let's RUMBLE!

Workers of the Moon -- UNITE!

Are you tired of working without the benefit of day or night to define your hours?

Are you fed up working only for tips, frequently in hard-to-exchange interplanetary currency?

Have you HAD IT with bland, no-color jumpsuits?

It's time we came together and asserted the POWER OF THE MOON WORKERS!

Hi. I'm Moonmaid Urella, Level III Housekeeping Staff on Moon Base. For too long, Moon Base has exploited our love of low gravity and dance parties and run this busy Moon Base through our hard work. We're now organizing the first moon workers union, the ULWU - The United Lunar Workers United.

Our demands include:

A minimum wage of 42 Lunar Dollars (LD) an hour.

14-day shifts

More - NO! Wait! I mean less! - PSHEDM (Psychic Sedative Hypnotic Electronic Dance Music). Now only for 7 hours a day.

Our choice of jumpsuit color. I personally am pushing for Cosmic Cobalt.

If you're a Lunar Service Worker and are ready to stand up for your rights, meet me in Rec Room 12 at midnight tonight to create our charter and start a better life for all workers on the moon!!!

Hey I'm thinking about transferring what is it like. Is there blood?
