Hello world!
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The computer on board the Excelsior has removed me from cryosleep pursuant to
|
||||||
|
Procedure [REDACTED]. Our automated telemetry sensors are down (see the systems
|
||||||
|
report above) and our cryosleep chambers appear to be experiencing overvolt as
|
||||||
|
a result. I think I will wait at least a week before re-entering cryosleep.
|
||||||
|
More transmissions will follow after this one.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Jerome, I feel for you. It's sometimes staggering how long these missions
|
||||||
|
take. Just looking at the instrumentation here on the Excelsior, we seem to have
|
||||||
|
been in transit for [unit translation = 1252 years].
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Geralt, it's nice to hear from you and the Adrestia. Glad to know your mission
|
||||||
|
seems to be progressing smoothly.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
We set out with our charter and ship around Alpha Beta 2 Beta towards a better
|
||||||
|
tommorrow. We set course for the nearest inhabitable planet and the Excelsior, a
|
||||||
|
first-class SpaceCorp Astroviator Mark 3, took off. We entered cryosleep around
|
||||||
|
Beta Alpha 10 Beta and set the Excelsior to power-conservation (hence the incomplete
|
||||||
|
systems report).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
I will begin procedures to fix the overvolt in the cryo systems and to fix the
|
||||||
|
auto-telemetry systems.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Sam Arnold, signing off.

Doctor Pierro Idjani led a full crew evaluation on the pods over
|
||||||
|
the last twelve hours. His recommendation for remaining awake
|
||||||
|
stands, unfortunately. The four of wardroom officers, myself,
|
||||||
|
Doctor Moussa Idjani, Prezzi Adeyemi, and Eva Hämäläinen, along
|
||||||
|
with Specialist First-class Stephanie Janssen, represent conscious
|
||||||
|
crew on the Melchizedek for next four months. We have a series of
|
||||||
|
course corrections to execute, some minor issues in hydroponics,
|
||||||
|
and what Adeyemi describes as "ick" growing over a quarter of the
|
||||||
|
cryo-pods. It is most likely unattended fungal growth, but we'll
|
||||||
|
investigate further.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Our ship is a Vos 144A from Visscher, sporting a pair of the
|
||||||
|
more-than-capable Peterse 773 Overtreffen Motoren. When launched,
|
||||||
|
the Melchy was a damn-fine ship, if I say so myself. She's held up
|
||||||
|
admirably while we slept.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
We were commissioned in EY 2480, and set out on mission just three
|
||||||
|
years later. RS001 timestamps on my last transmission suggest that
|
||||||
|
just over 1300 years, relative, have transpired since we set out.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
.
|
1300 years.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
It's what we signed on for, of course. We all had the training and
|
||||||
|
the psy-evals to prep, but there's still that shock when it hits
|
||||||
|
you. There's no undo, no reset. Everyone we knew is long gone.
|
||||||
|
Hell, the Earth itself is long gone, at least in the way we knew
|
||||||
|
it. Adeyemi says she has a cousin who set out on a long-haul
|
||||||
|
colony support freighter at about the same time as us and their
|
||||||
|
star is only a few light-years off schedule from ours. She doesn't
|
||||||
|
remember which direction, but it's possible she's got people out
|
||||||
|
there somewhere. The math always gets away from me, but it's
|
||||||
|
possible some of my own anscestors' family could be thawing out
|
||||||
|
from craft launched before I was born. Oh, and don't even get me
|
||||||
|
started on reality-drive mechanics. Who knows how many blended
|
||||||
|
universes we've stirred up with that monstrosity. I can only hope
|
||||||
|
humanity learned their lesson and banned it while I was dreaming.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
To the Speaker Elect of Cheer Systems, Susan, aboard the Starbloom
|
||||||
|
Communal Distributive Projection goes our many thanks. If the
|
||||||
|
disconnection of time weren't jarring enough, the silence that
|
||||||
|
awaits one's first lonely transmission is infinitely more terrible
|
||||||
|
for all its brevity. Your words, blessings, and spells are a salve
|
||||||
|
bringing healing. I queried Janssen about your ship designation
|
||||||
|
but nothing in our databases aligned. Based on relative time-debt
|
||||||
|
adjustments, it seems you may have set out long before us. We hope
|
||||||
|
your time has been peaceful.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
I'll be setting a daily ordo and assigning work duties following
|
||||||
|
this transmission. Getting our hands busy will ground the
|
||||||
|
ineffible incongruity from reality that's rattled everyone. Our
|
||||||
|
navigation issues are of primary concern, so Hämäläinen and
|
||||||
|
Janssen will bear the brunt of that work. Doctor Idjani is the
|
||||||
|
closest crew member we have awake to a botonist, so he'll be
|
||||||
|
investigating our sensor abnormalities in food and air
|
||||||
|
circulation. No alarms were tripped, so we're hoping it's just
|
||||||
|
a mutation in one of the algae tanks or something equally trivial.
|
||||||
|
The cry-pod growth will fall to me, with possible assistance from
|
||||||
|
Adeyemi, though she has very little background to be of use.
|
||||||
|
Unless the fungus starts talking, I don't see how Adeyemi will
|
||||||
|
have much of anything to translate or negotiate. She's probably in
|
||||||
|
for a boring four months.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
It's time to get moving. Our shifts will be light until muscle
|
||||||
|
regeneration reaches 60% and the doc clears us for full rotations
|
||||||
|
again. That's probably for the best. We'll take things slow.
