Luckily we still have some communications. Everything works locally, just not
|
||||||
|
the systems that send or receive messages from outside the port. A few people
|
||||||
|
have started sending messages to the QEC, although we have no way of telling if
|
||||||
|
they've actually gone through. It's a nice idea, though. And it does feel a
|
||||||
|
bit... cathartic? Writing feels different when you aren't sure if anyone will
|
||||||
|
ever read it.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Anyway. Today went completely off course when the comms went out, and I still
|
||||||
|
have a few things to do before I turn in for the night. Let's see...

Today's checklist:
|
||||||
|
[ ] fix wiring in the lab card reader
|
||||||
|
[ ] log data for seed growth experiment
|
||||||
|
[ ] sweep up lab
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
I'll probably have to fill in for Dad and clean up the workshop a bit. He always
|
||||||
|
insists on doing it himself but he's still out working on the comms and I have a
|
||||||
|
feeling it'll be late when he gets back. Usually I can convince him to go to
|
||||||
|
sleep if I clean up for him. I'll at least give it a shot.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Well, for anyone who reads this, I hope your colony is doing better than we are
|
||||||
|
at the moment. And if you are reading this, at least it's a sign that we can
|
||||||
|
communicate with the QEC. Something is better than nothing, I suppose.
