.title system recalibrating
A sound woke me.
Threatening?
No.
A faint hissing sound, steady and reassuring.
I turned my head to try to get closer to it.
The wind rushing past my ears made me reluctant to get much closer.
Where is it coming from?
I try to open my eyes and am surprised when they do open.

Panic. I can't move; I can't see. Where am I?
A thought intrudes "you need to breathe." I am, aren't I?
Then I feel it. Rather, then I feel nothing. An uncaring warmth washes
over me. Now that I could feel.
The warmth leaves me. A bolt of lightning courses through me. My eyes
open suddenly. They scan the room.
Where am I?
I couldn't move my head. Pods lie ahead of me. Lights sputter in and out
of existence. My heart tries to keep up.
I could feel myself losing conciousness.
Then I see it: two Greek symbols. The despair hits me.
The world fades.

Ships journal, entry 156442
You are small and alive in a largely lifeless vacuum. We are
adrift a long way from our ancestors' home. How amazing it
is to be alive at all. Do not fuss little one. We'll keep
you going, same as this ship, same as her crew.
Since you have no skills that are needed for ship work at
this time little one, you will have other duties: knowledge
acquisition, fueling, exercize, and the observation of other
crew as they perform their duties.
You are small, but we are with you.

A new life was created aboard ship this cycle. She is small
and is named for my favorite constellation as a child. She is
the first little one to join the crew and posesses no talents
that are needed for work at this time. As such her duties will
include knowledge acquisition, fueling, exercize, and the
observation of other crew as they perform their duties.
Wo sho ti.
Zoma ti ono-jo a fo.

The ship is heading into an unmapped quadrant, we will report
back soon with with with field data.
