Attention all crew and passengers: Intership shuttle service ESX-142 outbound to Esmeralda will depart in 10 minutes from Docking Bay 1.
I believe that’s my cue. I just wanted to say thank you to the crew. It’s been a pleasant journey.
And how exactly are you able to get off the ship before we’ve gone through customs?
My clients made arrangements for me. I’m afraid I can’t say more than that.
Of course.

Attention ISP faculty: The Institute has sent updated reporting requirements for the program review. Apparently the initial set of documentation was “insufficiently granular.” I will need revised enrollment and programs of study by end of week.
Never mind that. Does that mean the Institute managed to get a signaling probe out here before we arrived? Has it started negotiating access to the artifact?
Yes, the probe has negotiated a preliminary agreement. They’re open to supervised access, but I still need to review and sign off on it.
But of course you’ll sign off on it. Lovely, I’ll start aligning our program with Esmeraldan protocol.
Can you remember to send me your updated program of study as well?
I’ll take care of it, Director.
Thank you, Mari.

Customs inspection is complete. We are cleared for approach to Esmeralda. Well done, everyone. We’ll start accelerating in about 10 hours. If you’re going to be asleep then, I recommend securing any loose belongings first.
Ship time is now 20:00. Now commencing gamma shift.
Told you.
You told me nothing. You told me “it’s fine” and “relax” which is not the same as telling me anything.
And yet here we are. Fine. Relaxed even.
