It's always a hard call, deciding if it's safe to pull the family out
|
||||
of cryo. I was fortunate that the AI determined this anomaly to be
|
||||
minimal risk and didn't prio-thaw me. I've heard horror stories from
|
||||
Kell, the Lead Scientist aboard. His first tour out to Bernards
|
||||
Star.. the things that went wrong on that bucket. It's why I chose to
|
||||
sign up with TC, they pay less than everyone else but at least they
|
||||
spare no expense on the goodies on board. With this being an 46.2y one
|
||||
way trip, I feel much better knowing everything is state of the art.
|
||||
|
||||
Oh right, my family. Everything is tip top, so I initiated the thaw
|
||||
about four hours ago. Just ten to go until process is complete. If
|
||||
I'm going to be out for four weeks, I'd love to have them with me.
|
||||
In my spare time I'm still looking into cryo optimizations. There's
|
||||
got to be a short cut between wake cycles that the system could
|
||||
handle.
|
||||
|
||||
Anyway, part of the reason I'm sending this; anyone else running into
|
||||
the same issue? Our onboard long-range sensor array is giving us data
|
||||
on LTS-1483 that is very, very different from what the probes sent
|
||||
back. Granted it was over 35 years old, but still. How did it miss an
|
||||
entire planet? All the orbits are different from what we thought.
|
||||
Kell is sweating bullets that III (our intended home) is off enough
|
||||
that it may be not viable.
|
||||
|
||||
Not much I can do about it. Definitely no reason to wake the Captain
|
||||
or Governor yet; we're following our protocols for this. Worst case
|
||||
scenario, we go back to cryo, and when we're closer we wake again and
|
||||
use closer scans to determine if we go to one of our other choices.

|
||||
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?

|

|

our 150 year journey from í54 re is finally coming to a close. over the
|
||||
past 10 days, the crew has been slowing awakening from their second-longest
|
||||
slumber (the longest being 50 years during the middle of our voyage).
|
||||
|
||||
i've just awoken today; my head still spins. sea legs seems an appropriate
|
||||
term, grabbed from the annals of history: a time when humans still traveled
|
||||
by boat and ship across the former oceans. somehow, the atmospheric
|
||||
conditions generated large waveforms on the water's surface, creating a
|
||||
rocking motion aboard the boats that could range from largely imperceptible
|
||||
to catastrophic. in any case, i'll be looking for the caffeine supplements.
|
||||
|
||||
the rest of the crew seems to be in similar conditions, catching up on their
|
||||
latest ansibel messages from family and friends. a handful will be staying
|
||||
at Ł332 gue, while the rest of us carry on after a refueling stayover of 4
|
||||
rotations.
|
||||
|
||||
expect another update from the station.

Humanity has expanded to the stars. Earth is a distant memory.
|
||||
|
||||
We journey into the darkness not in a great migration as many
|
||||
thought but in small communities, drifting far and traveling at
|
||||
relativistic speeds, dividing from each other by unfathomable
|
||||
distance and time. Our only connection is the thin tethers of
|
||||
a Quantum Entanglement Communicator (QEC). These precarious
|
||||
devices bridge the vast distances with near-instantaneous
|
||||
communication, but provide only enough bandwidth to the ancient
|
||||
relay hub for simple, plain-text messaging.
|
||||
|
||||
Here are the annals of Relay Station 001, housed at Lagrange point
|
||||
L4 in the SOL system. Found within are the records of
|
||||
transmissions from the oldest and farthest flung ships to have
|
||||
left Earth of old. These are pen-pal letters, reports, updates,
|
||||
cries for help, and calls into the darkness. What is delivered to
|
||||
the system is unfiltered. Some of it is intelligible. For some,
|
||||
common language has drifted too far for clear translation.
|
||||
|
||||
Due to time-debt of relativistic travel, dates of individual
|
||||
reports may not coincide linearly between ships. Records are
|
||||
stored chronologically as received at RS001 from each expedition.
