After many years in the Academy, I'm finally setting off for an 
adventure of my own across the stars.
I'm not the first to do this; who can forget the tales of the
great space captain Buzz Lightyear or the legendary sandwich maker
Arthur Dent? Suffice it to say, I'm just the latest in a long line
of space travelers.

I've rigged up a rudimentary QEC transmitter because this ship 
doesn't have one. If you're reading this, that means the device
worked. I don't suppose I'll ever know if it worked, at least 
until I find some way of recieving messages.

I suppose I should give a quick status report: Oxygen generators
and heaters are functioning within acceptable limits. One of the
water lines has developed a fault, but I'm not sure what it is.
I've set the ship's diagnostic systems to monitor and report back
to me. The supply of "dead" (read: freeze-dried) food is still
going strong, and the plants are growing nicely.

I'll have to start work on a scanner system one of these days.
I'm flying blind here, and that's not very pleasant. I only
know where I am because of the tiny porthole on the roof 
of the cockpit. I already have all the parts I need, in cargo.
I just need to put it together. That's all engineering is,
really. Putting stuff together in the right order.

This is Captain Pax Terra, signing off.
