The Excelsior's cryo-sleep issues seem now to be almost non-existant, no matter
|
|
what the systems readout is saying up above this message. As far as I can tell,
|
|
one of the cryo berths appears to have been brought undervolt after an
|
|
emergency burn was executed by the Excelsior for course correction. It has been
|
|
fixed as of Beta Delta 23 Epsilon. The overvolt issue, on the other hand, took
|
|
some more negotiation with the hardware. It has been fixed as of Beta Delta 29
|
|
Epsilon.
|
|
|
|
Reading the messages on the QEC, I'm honestly afraid of what I'm reading.
|
|
|
|
To the revolutionaries aboard Hoffnung, I'm honestly sickened by what I read
|
|
from you. Killing people on a mass scale who have done nothing to attempt
|
|
to harm you (to the best of the knowledge I can recieve) besides having
|
|
ideological differences is terrible on so many scales. I cannot condone any
|
|
kind of behavior like that.
|
|
|
|
To Malkonkordo, I cannot condone a war with the Starbloom Communal Distributive
|
|
Projection (not that I have any power over you to prevent it). Susan and
|
|
the others have simply been well-wishers. Even if they may have grossly
|
|
misrepresented your knowledge, you should not go to war with them, for the
|
|
same reason that Hoffnung's revolutionaries should not have killed 22 soldiers.
|
|
|
|
Of course, not all of these messages are bad.
|
|
|
|
To Dei Genetrix, may God bless you on your mission and may He see you
|
|
safely there.
|
|
|
|
To Melchizedek, may you find lasting peace, wherever you may find yourself
|
|
and your crew.
|
|
|
|
To Pilot Anderson aboard the Cosmic Hummingbird (and I agree that that name
|
|
is definitely an eccentric one), may your recovery be swift.
|
|
|
|
As for my own mental sanity, I have been developing programs on the Excelsior's
|
|
powerful mainframe to pass the time. As stated in procedure [REDACTED],
|
|
I must stay awake for 3 months before going back to sleep. Since I woke up
|
|
on Beta Delta 21 Epsilon, I must wait until Beta Eta 21 Epsilon before I
|
|
may re-enter cryosleep.
|
|
|
|
I was hoping that the QEC messages could keep my faith in technology and
|
|
sentient creatures alive.
|
|
|
|
I was mistaken.
|
|
|
|
Oh, and to the Voortrekker? May all be well with you.
|
|
|
|
However you define "well". :)
