- đź“– Log 002: Mission Interrupted (By a Teething Crisis)It was supposed to be a smooth night. Routine check-ins. Maybe a draft or two for Dadnaut Toolkit. A cheeky scroll through gaming updates. But somewhere between 02:03 and “just five more minutes,” the mission was compromised. Teething had struck—and it didn’t care about plans, productivity, or proper sleep cycles. The little Cadetnaut was wailingContinue reading “đź“– Log 002: Mission Interrupted (By a Teething Crisis)”
