@dmitri How are we looking?
We’re locked and loaded. Manifest is signed off, and distribution is within acceptable parameters.
Good. Arvin?
Sorted. Everything’s accounted for.
Excellent. Thank you, Dmitri.
Just doing my job, captain.
Advisory: All systems nominal.
Attention all crew and passengers: Departure for SC-52d (Esmeralda) via FSNC-88 (Lukou / 路口) is scheduled at t:L/383.38.1T08:00. Please board via Dock 9b, Airlock 3. Station egress will close at t:L/383.38.1T07:00.
@ship, you’re tracking overtime, right?
Yes captain. Would you like a report?
Acknowledged.
@kenv, make sure we get paid.
Already on it, Jo.
Before we leave port.
Personally, I think it’d be fun to evict someone in the middle of fold-space.
An operationally inadvisable but intellectually intriguing maneuver.
No.
You never let us do anything fun.
@jkap
Before we leave port.
I’ll take care of it.
Hi everyone, if we haven’t met, I’m Johanna Kapoor, the captain of the Wandertaube. As @ship has noted, we’re headed to Esmeralda via Lukou. If that’s not where you want to go, I kindly advise you to disembark because it’s going to be long ride.
We expect to arrive at Lukou on t:L/383.42.2, where we’ll spend about two-and-a-half weeks before leaving for Esmeralda.
For those of you who have traveled to Esmeralda before, you might be used to two or three planetary stops between Lukou and Esmeralda. We’re not doing that. We’re taking a bit of a shortcut, what you might have heard referred to as “The Yellow Brick Road”.
That means more time in deep space but about seven weeks less of total travel time. So we expect to arrive at Esmeralda on t:L/384.7.0, although as our Compliance Officer is fond of reminding me, we can’t guarantee arrival times.
Ship time is now 12:00. Now commencing beta shift.
Hi everyone, I’m Kenji Velasquez, the Wandertaube’s Compliance Officer. As the captain mentioned, we can’t guarantee arrival times at either Lukou or Esmeralda or at Sol on our round trip back.
If you or your cargo need to be somewhere by a very specific time, I’d strongly recommend getting contingency insurance. You’re welcome to purchase it directly on your own, but we also have a broker that offers very competitive rates. If that’s of interest to you, please let me know.
Hello, I am Dr. Marion Okonkwo, the Director of the Tycho Institute’s Interstellar Studies Program. And I just want to welcome all of our students to our inaugural semester.
As I’m sure you’re aware, there have been recent developments at Esmeralda that have the potential to change the arc of human history. And you and the Institute are going to be at the forefront of it. This is the opportunity of a lifetime, and I hope that all of you make the most of it.
Finally, just a bit of housekeeping: you should all have received dormitory assignments by now. If you are missing that, please let me know immediately.

Dr. Okonkwo, I’ve found my dorm but none of my belongings are here. Is that still en route?
@jkap Captain, can you assist?
