Jatayu transit confirmed. Pato de la Suerte is accelerating.
Pato de la Suerte has reached the departure aperture.
@zalmux Confirm orientation and navigation course.
Confirmed.
Acknowledged.
@chang Confirm monitoring status.
yupppppppp
Acknowledged.
Attention all crew and passengers: Prepare for acceleration. For your safety, please minimize time spent in accessways and corridors while the ship is accelerating or decelerating.
@ship
Pato de la Suerte has reached the departure aperture.
Pato de la Suerte transit confirmed. We are accelerating.
Today’s mess: Protein cutlets (PCA Texture B), HyperPasta Shape 2A.
Ship time is now 04:00. Now commencing alpha shift.
Attention all crew and passengers: We’re an hour from the jump.
@ship
Pato de la Suerte transit confirmed. We are accelerating.
30 minutes from departure aperture.
10 minutes from departure aperture. We are five minutes from the commit point.
Outcomes are optimal.
@ship Commit.
Acknowledged.
Assuming control.
All hands, we’re jumping in 5.
All hands, stand by for jump.
@zalmux
Assuming control.
We have reached the departure aperture. Transiting.
Transit complete.
Resuming control.
Dispatching confirmation probe.
Stand by. Anomaly detected.
@zalmux, what’s going on?
@ship
Stand by. Anomaly detected.
Anomaly confirmed: Our position is outside the FSNC-866 arrival envelope.
The fold resolved to 0.27 AU outside FSNC-302. We took the geometry that was available.
what? it’s a good geometry
You are a monitoring daemon. You have one job.
i was monitoring! i monitored zalmux move us to 0.27 AU outside FSNC-302
We were aiming for FSNC-866.
okay i can see whay that is confusing but both locations have the same number of digits and also the distinct absence of death

Deploying forward dorsal deflector.
@soomin, do we have have the juice for deflection?
juice yes, heat maybe

Firing forward dorsal deflector.
Alert: Outer Ring (Ventral Quadrant), capacitor bank 2 offline.
@soomin, heat?
@ship
Alert: Outer Ring (Ventral Quadrant), capacitor bank 2 offline.
Deflection successful. Hazard neutralized.
I do not foresee further complications. Conditions are conducive to radiation operations.
Did you foresee jumping us into a near collision?
Ackwnowledged. Thursters disengaged.
Unfurling radiation array.
Attention all crew and passengers: We’re through the jump. We came out farther along than planned. We are maintaining our current trajectory while we sort out details with the rest of the convoy. There is nothing anyone needs to do. More soon.
Can we reach the convoy? They would be holding at 866.
Well, some of them. Tukkasotka was behind us.
Our path remains perceptible. A probe was dispatched to advise the Tukkasotka to continue transit. The most probable placement is that the entirety of the convoy is present at FSNC-866 and thus within observable communication distance, albeit with considerable latency.
I advise establishing a compliant communication channel as soon as possible.
Oh you bastard. You knew this would happen.
I was aware of trajectories taken and undertook harm mitigation before the topology became unfavorable to such measures.
@kenv
Oh you bastard. You knew this would happen.

Pod 14 coffee caffeination of 1137 mg/L exceeds nominal.
OK, dumb question: Are we lost or are we early?
We are early, and we got shot at.
shooting was us
Felt the same from my quarters.
@joed
Felt the same from my quarters.
@ship, broadcast an advisory message via continuous burst toward the FSNC-866 rendezvous coordinates. Advise the convoy to continue to FSNC-302. We’ll meet them there.
Acknowledged. Commencing broadcast.
