Cryogenic stasis was interrupted for wardroom officers and
|
|
|
|
|
Specialist Janssen as of 0430. We have drifted slightly off
|
|
|
|
|
planned course due to unexpected thermal radiation from
|
|
|
|
|
a celestial event the crew is monitoring. The β Hyi system has
|
|
|
|
|
been increasingly active in recent months and Janssen believes the
|
|
|
|
|
solar radiation has unbalanced our infrared venting, causing
|
|
|
|
|
a 0.002° drift. Over the intervening time, this was enough for
|
|
|
|
|
autopilot to raise the alarm.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Melchizedek is quiet and in good working order. Her full crew of
|
|
|
|
|
44 are stowed safely and all systems are green. Lower-fore botany
|
|
|
|
|
systems show some minor abnormalities which are marked for
|
|
|
|
|
follow-up. Bot arrays all read nominal with no traceable
|
|
|
|
|
degradation in standby power.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
We have slowed our descent to just over 1G in anticipation of
|
|
|
|
|
work-shifts. This will put us slightly ahead of schedule if we
|
|
|
|
|
remain at present deltas. Still, we're just over four months from
|
|
|
|
|
system and there is some debate whether it would be advisable to
|
|
|
|
|
reenter cryo this close to the destination. Our food-stores are in
|
|
|
|
|
good order, especially for just the wardroom. Doctor Idjani
|
|
|
|
|
suggests we remain out of stasis for at least two weeks before
|
|
|
|
|
being reassessed regardless.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
QEC has been adjusted for our drift and seems in working order,
|
|
|
|
|
though we haven't received any new transmissions from relay one in
|
|
|
|
|
quite some time. If the crew do remain awake in the months ahead,
|
|
|
|
|
you can rest assured of further updates. Anyone awake out there?
