Good evening, folks. Well, it's evening for me, at least. Who knows
|
|
what time looks like in your part of the universe.
|
|
|
|
Everyone on board has been talking about the leak in the core sector
|
|
for the past two days. Some people are worried that it signals the
|
|
start of the end, and that different parts of the ship are going to
|
|
break one after another until something important stops working and we
|
|
all die. That's a bit too morbid for me. The Ases Voyager certainly
|
|
isn't a new ship, but it was designed to last for centuries. We have
|
|
minor disasters every once in a while, but that's just a normal part
|
|
of living in space.
|
|
|
|
Most people are carrying around a healthy amount of worry about the
|
|
whole situation. After all, we don't have big exciting events that
|
|
often. Some equipment was damaged, but nothing too important
|
|
was lost. The engine itself was apparently unscathed, but I couldn't
|
|
really get much information about that.
|
|
|
|
That reminds me - I had lunch with Corinna yesterday. It was nice to
|
|
catch up with her. She doesn't talk to Mom or Dad as often as I do, so
|
|
I filled her in on the interesting things our parents have been up
|
|
to. Dad has gotten really into hydroponics lately, and he's helping
|
|
out in the gardens when he can. Mom is leading another big software
|
|
project, naturally. She works in a different part of the engineering
|
|
sector than I do, but I still drop by and say hello every once in a
|
|
while. The Ases is large enough for people to grow up and become
|
|
independent, but it's small enough that you'll run into your family
|
|
more often than you expect.
|
|
|
|
Corinna is the exception, I suppose. She's been more withdrawn
|
|
lately. I tried asking her how things were going at work and how her
|
|
friends were doing, but she just kept giving me the same old terse
|
|
answers. "Everything's great." "My friends are doing well." "No, I
|
|
haven't been out much lately, what are people into these days?" The
|
|
last one isn't really something Corinna said, but it was certainly
|
|
similar. I should convince Mara to drag her to a movie or something. I
|
|
know it's a little awkward because they're ex-girlfriends and all, but
|
|
I'm pretty sure they're still friends?
|
|
|
|
The strangest part of it all was how cagey Corinna got when I started
|
|
asking her questions about the core. I know she was exhausted from the
|
|
night before, but I don't think that's why. She loves working in the
|
|
core sector. She told me once that it combined all of her favorite
|
|
parts of engineering. And Corinna isn't talkative, but she used to
|
|
talk about her work more often. I'm kind of worried about her.
|
|
|
|
I'll let her rest, though. She definitely needs it. Hopefully she'll
|
|
feel better next week and I can ask her more questions about the core
|
|
during lunch. For some reason, I just can't get it out of my head. I
|
|
realized that I really don't know that much about the Ases Voyager's
|
|
engine. It seems like an interesting branch of engineering to get
|
|
involved in.
|
|
|
|
For now, I need to go to sleep. Maybe tomorrow I'll see what
|
|
information the library has about the core.
|
|
|
|
Stay curious, friends. Goodnight.
