Today's checklist:
[ ] fix wiring in the lab card reader
[ ]
Every once in a while I get stuck in a nostalgia loop.
Sometimes the fact that I'll only ever know the same few hundred people over
my entire life gets to me. It doesn't usually bother me because this is all I've
ever known, why should it be strange? But every once in a while I'll stare up
into the sky and see nothing but the vast reaches of space and realize how truly
alone we are. Port Novis is a tiny speck in the galaxy, small and insignificant
compared to the other groups of humans travelling farther and farther out into
the stars. There's less than a thousand of us. The closest human civilization is
the lab on Mars, and it's been a while since we've heard from them. They might
be doing worse than we are.
That brings me to the reason I'm writing this. Our connection with the UPG
systems has failed. That means no outside contact, no news updates, no
nothing. We've lost connection with the rest of human civilization. Jed and his
crew are working on fixing it, but it's been hours now and they haven't made
much progress.
