Today’s mess: Reconstituted protein (RCA Block 13), grain composite biscuits (crumbly).
Chef, are the crumbly biscuits just old versions of the hard biscuits? Or are they something different?
They’re AGED, not old. Important distinction, my friend.
Oh! My mistake. Sorry, I didn’t mean to imply anything.

Attention passengers: We have arrived at Lukou. It’ll take us approximately 36 hours to position ourselves and clear customs. If you’re cleared by medical, you’re welcome to spend time at the station.
Station docks are crowded so we’ll be running a shuttle service instead. Departure is scheduled for about 15 days from now. @ship will post schedules momentarily.

Note that departures from Lukou/路口 Station are scheduled according to station time [t:a72b2f]. Wandertaube will operate on current ship time for the duration of our stay. Passengers traveling to Lukou/路口 Station should consult with the station construct to synchronize timekeeping.
Attention crew: Anyone requesting station leave should have received confirmation by now. Even if you’re not taking leave, check your shift schedule to see if you need to cover for anyone else. Check with @ship if you haven’t gotten an updated schedule.
Hi folks, those of you looking at the schedule might notice that shuttle service is spaced a week apart. Unfortunately, Lukou’s a busy place and that’s the best we can do.
Note that our carriage contract does NOT cover room and board at the station. I strongly recommend figuring that out prior to getting onboard the shuttle.
We have a special rate with the Golden Palace of 368 bits per night. That includes the 24 hour buffet and zero-g water park. For folks who need something more economical, we have a 20% discount with Standard Cylinder as well. If either appeals to you, let me know.
Wouldn’t miss it.
Count me in!
Day trip or a longer stay?
Shuttle’s only hanging around for a couple hours, yeah? I think we have to make it a proper stay.
Want to split a Golden Palace suite?
How many buffet passes does that include?
I’ll check but I’m sure we can buy à la carte passes. Plus, do you really want to eat at the buffet for every meal?
Depends on the buffet.
Or if there are other buffets.
It’s a 24 hour buffet. Maybe we can just rotate in and out.
Now that’s an intriguing proposition.
Ah, she’s probably sleeping off the jump.
Got it. We can check in on her later.
@kenv Captain told me to work with you on customs. What do you need?
I got a hot date on the station. Don’t want to keep ’em waiting.
You’ve arranged a date already?
Hey, stay on target, Kenji.
On it.
@fatima Swing by the galley. I have some items I want to talk over with you.
Yup.
Really? Dmitri, this is a brand new schedule. Lukou changed their regs last week.
I know. I had spreadsheet macros ready to go for each of the regs being proposed from the last time we were here.
I don’t know whether I should be impressed or concerned.
He’s on the special coffee blend.
What special coffee blend?
Just talk to me in the galley.
