Attention crew: I hope you enjoyed your station time. Some of you are still filtering back in, but I think we have enough folks back to resume regular duty shifts.
We’re still finalizing convoy arrangements, but we are aiming for a departure date of t:L/383.38.1. For now, priorities are cargo ops and pod integration.
And on a personal note, thank you. I know you didn’t have to come back to the Wandertaube. But you did. And I appreciate it.
Hello everyone. As the captain noted, folks are returning to the ship, and as such, regular meal service is back.
This week’s menu features microgreens, sweet potatoes, universal protein #6, and 5 different condiments.
See you in the mess.

@mokonkwo Greetings Director. I am Zalmux, the ship’s navigator. I wish to inquire about the nature of your team’s studies.
Hello Zalmux. How can I help you?
Yesterday, you stated you had “much to learn from distant stars”. Does the Institute’s educational scope also include the space between the stars?
I suppose it does. We’re a university. We study everything.
As a practical matter, humans lack the time and space to study everything. You must prioritize.
This is true.
So you prioritize the stars. But a disrepancy arises. I have calculated our travel parameters and anticipate that 87.5% of our time will be spent in regions where no stars are proximate.
No, it’s quite alright. I can manage.

@zalmux, are you suggesting that we spend more time at our destination to make the journey worth it?
I suggest nothing. I merely map the contours of the void.
That’s pretty fucking suggestive buddy.
Contours of the void my ass.
Might as well go full blown “I see dead space”.
Chang.
Kenji.
No, but ah, I suppose I can still apologize on its behalf.
That won’t be necessary.

To answer your query @zalmux, I am not a fold-space physicist, nor will we have any faculty with such expertise on this journey. But we can rectify that, should the program continue.
And our coursework does include basic astrophysics. We welcome any … first-hand accounts you wish to share.
