@shipTukkasotka has transited.

Initiating rotational thrust.

00:40 3mfuygfvyms2z

Initiating counter thrust.

00:58 3mfuzgkgbyc2z

Counter thrust complete. Return trajectory established.

01:00 3mfuzk6qt3c2z

Today’s mess: Universal Protein 6, boiled starch cuboids, bean sprouts (while supplies last).

04:00 3mfvdm2f2d22z

Ship time is now 04:00. Now commencing alpha shift.

06:00 3mfvkcm354k2z

Advisory: All systems nominal.

12:00 3mfw6gdxkbk2z

Ship time is now 12:00. Now commencing beta shift.

13:56 3mfwevpp6ek2z

@shipCounter thrust complete. Return trajectory established.

Initiating rotational thrust.

14:00 3mfwf4wsxfs2z

Finally feeling human again. What’d I miss in seminar?

14:03 3mfwfcao75c2z

Oh, it was a good one. Crabtree was talking about what to transmit to the Esmeralda artifact.

14:04 3mfwfe2bv6s2z

Wait, we’re transmitting something?

14:05 3mfwffud7r22z

How else do we test the Transmission Hypothesis? No transmission, no record.

14:07 3mfwfjex5wk2z

But the contents of the record might depend on what we transmit.

14:08 3mfwfl7uymc2z

That is the Transmission Hypothesis, yes.

14:09 3mfwfmyx45s2z

And the last record, THE Perceptible Record, ended up rewriting the arc of human history. Why is a uni study abroad program deciding what to say?

14:14 3mfwfvwhv4c2z

@shipInitiating rotational thrust.

Initiating counter thrust.

14:32 3mfwgw33tns2z

Counter thrust complete. Commencing deceleration burn.

15:21 3mfwjnpq2222z

The Institute, and its many layers of governance, have decided, Ms. Hoffmann. The limitations of faster-than-light information transfer grant us significant leeway to experiment, but the larger policy questions are not happening in a vacuum.

15:22 3mfwjpihtj22z

This will all be discussed in next week’s discussion should you be able to attend.

15:23 3mfwjran47c2z

Of course. Thank you Professor. I’ll try to be there.

15:23 3mfwjrfqjp22z

we should transmit wally

15:24 3mfwjt2bugk2z

You can’t transmit a raccoon. It’s not an information stream.

15:24 3mfwjt7fbwc2z

wally is absolutely an information stream. he’s very transmittable. so are diseases.

15:25 3mfwjutxb622z

ew

16:00 3mfwlti56d22z

@kenv Do you have a contingency plan in place should the creature continue evading capture?

16:03 3mfwlyshkgk2z

Not really. Do you?

16:03 3mfwlyxt3os2z

Yes.

16:05 3mfwm4evovs2z

Dunno how I feel about that.

17:08 3mfwpn3csrk2z

Alert: Hazard bearing 073°/-78°.
Time to CPA: 64m
Complexity: 2

17:08 3mfwpnaq7m22z

Monitoring. Risk within acceptable parameters.

19:32 3mfwxolhjvs2z

@shipCounter thrust complete. Commencing deceleration burn.

Full stop.

20:00 3mfwzanury22z

Ship time is now 20:00. Now commencing gamma shift.
