Today’s mess: Reconstituted protein (RCA Block 14), bread analogue (BAS Texture M), parsley.
Alert: Hazard bearing 060°/-6°.

Deploying forward dorsal deflector. Connecting to hazard coordination authority.
No hazard coordination authority is available. We are assuming authority.
@ship hold. What’s the thermal cost on a deflection right now?
Acknowledged. 64.1% of the remaining gamma-shift heat allowance. No alternative actor is in position. Deflection responsibility is ours.
Of course it is, and the radiators are out.
Deflection is unnecessary.
@zalmux, it’s a 5 and we’re a rather large target with the radiators out.
I am aware. And yet the contour of the complication curves past us. Deflection is unnecessary.
Time to CPA: 43m. Closest approach is 0.9 km at current projection.
0.9 km is cutting it close.
To cut close is to miss. Firing would perturb a path I have already read. I would prefer you did not.
@chang, second opinion?
it boops
Chang, I need a clearer answer than that.
IT BOOPS
Is that a good thing?
good BOOPS not bad boops
BOOP BOOP BOOP
@xlbo, we have a situation.
BOOP BOOP BOOOOOOOOOOOOP BOOP BOOP
I am investigating now.

Acknowledged. 64.1% of the remaining gamma-shift heat allowance. No alternative actor is in position. Deflection responsibility…
Continuing to hold on deflection. Time to CPA: 30m
I am still investigating.
@ship, when’s the last possible moment we can safely deflect?
The last recommended deflection opportunity is t:L/384.24.2T02:24:18.
10 minutes @xlbo
Acknowledged.
I see no indication to doubt either Zalmux or Chang’s assessment of the situation.
But Chang is BOOPING
yeah i was just messing with you, everything’s fine
What the heck, Chang?
That is a different concern to investigate, but I see no reason to deviate from the current course of action.
@ship
Continuing to hold on deflection. Time to CPA: 30m
Safe deflection window has passed. Time to CPA: 8m
Time to CPA: 5m. Closest approach now estimated at 0.62 km
Time to CPA: 1m. Closest approach now estimated at 0.7 km.
Closest approach passed at 0.71 km. Hazard is now receding.
I understand the situation. I will continue investigating.
Spent none of it. Go back to sleep, Chief.
wasn’t asleep
Ship time is now 04:00. Now commencing alpha shift.

Ship time is now 12:00. Now commencing beta shift.
Reminder: The component is a “phase-coupling capacitor,” not a “zappy cylinder.”
A question for whoever knows: the low hum that’s always filled the Pod 7 observation lounge is gone as of this morning. I write there, and I’ve grown attached to it. Can we bring it back?
recirculator, off for cooling
Ah, can we turn it back on?
recording ok?
I suppose. Yes, let’s try that. Thank you, Soomin.
Ship time is now 20:00. Now commencing gamma shift.
