|
||
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?
