+:::
+
+I hesitated to use the QEC since we lost Moussa, worried what the
+others might think reading this. That was until Janssen so
+eloquently told me to take the, um, stick out of my rear. Prezzi
+suggested that acting stoic was pissing everyone off and doing
+nothing to hide how I was taking it anyway. So, here I am.
+
+She's right. I've been walking the corridors in a daze. Moussa and
+I went way back. Waking up in this creepy blue light every morning
+reminds me that there's a hole in our lives, in my life. Without
+him the ship is pregnant with silence.
+
+I signed up for merchant shipping as a kid. I've flown in rust
+buckets and tin-cans of all shapes and sizes. There's been close
+calls before, but never--not on my watch. I just keep asking
+myself why? Why him? Why us?

+
+Our hydroponics specialist and our doctor of phytology, Hove
+Xavier and Sandy Kroups, have joined the crew awake. I regret that
+their rising was in mourning. Needs demand, we answer.
+
+They're tackling the food shortage with the seriousness it
+deserves, though I expect it's to keep their minds off everything
+that's happened while they slept. They keep each other's company
+and a distance from the rest of us. I can't blame them. We are not
+a cheery crew to be around at the moment.
+
+--
+
+With botany dispatched from the Melchy there's nothing left to us
+but questions. What the hell is happening out here? And why?
