                                                          Crew Status
Aster-Α reports successful reintegration with Aster-Γ, Aster-Δ, and
Aster-Ε. Aster-Α reports 12% increase in node count after
reintegration. Aster-Α reports that it misses Aster-β and looks
forward to reintegration soon after next transit cycle with LTAP.
Aster-Α reports completion of engine and grapnel upgrades performed on
Tug 44σ and Tug 48λ and will continue to monitor maintenance and
performance reports.

Aster-Α reports having had a disturbing dream.

miniVISR 0x798α reports all crew member assessments indicate sleep
cycle completion and recreation period have increased crew morale
indicators by an average of 5%.

miniVISR 0x798α announces the games tournament list and round 1
results. Round 2 will commence after the next sleep period.

Crew consensus selected the following games:
Orbital Racer, μ-μ Rocket, Megatris, Rampage, TRGoUr

Crew consensus established the following conditions:
Each round of competition shall require a different game. No
Card-games and chess-alikes unless neither or both opponents are
swarms. The two lowest-scoring contenders will move ahead from the
first 3 rounds. The games shall be ordered in reverse chronological
order from contemporary to ancient.

Round 1 - Orbital Racer
Players must adjust planetary orbits around a star to find a stable
system resonance. The player to find equilibrium first within 1800
seconds wins. If neither player has found equilibrium within the
alotted time, then the player who achieves the longest semistable
resonance wins.

Round 1 Roster
Aster-Α     Aster-Γ     Aster-Δ     Aster-Ε     vp0e44-κ
vp1d30-σ    Har-33ι     Tug-48λ     Har-33κ     Tug-44σ

Round 1 Winners
vp1d30-σ    Aster-Γ     Tug-48λ     Aster-Ε     Tug-44σ
Eq. 749s    St. 293yr.  Eq. 1250s   Eq. 1722s   St. 587yr.

Round 1 Sneakers
Aster-Α     Har-33ι
St. 1072yr. St. 272yr.

miniVISR 0x798α reports some commentary from the crew:
vp1d30-σ suspects that Aster-Α threw the match.
Har-33κ looks forward to browsing the exogeology archives.
Aster-Δ has requests access to the full historical archives. Abridged
access granted until next LTAP transit. Request queued, low priority.

END MESSAGE.
