[START transcript]
Luce [muttering]: is this thing even... ah, so it is.
L: Hello from Interlude Station Alternis, stationed on Averna III.
Ena: If you're reading this, it means we didn't fuck up bringing QEC back online over here.
E: We write due to the fact that it seems like shit's slowly crazy all over the 'verse, and we'd
like to know that more people exist still.
[silence for 5.77 seconds]
Valeria: ...and also because we need to make some allies here. We're alone on this damn station because the
people that funded the station decided to cut us loose for "management reasons".
L: Yeah. That too.
E: On a slightly more positive note, it's going to be nice to actually be able to talk with people for more
than a single conversation, now that we have comms up n' running again.
Lexine: Yeah, it's going to be great, meeting new stellar adventurers, scientists, and other silly peoples!
[noise: random talking about stuff]
E: We specialize in digital pathology (or cybersecurity, for you other peoples).
V: If you have any questions, send a message via QEC. We're listening.
L: See you all soon!

I told my parents I couldn't come to temple because I had to study. It was kind
of true. I'm behind on my midterm project in Modelling Systems. I'm working on
a model of Home.
It's funny for me to call it that, since I've never actually been there. But
that's what we were taught to call it. No matter how far away we are, in time or in
space, we always are meant to think of it as Home. I understand why the old
people want it that way. It's probably the only way they can keep themselves
from going insane, trapped on this ship.
But it seems cruel to constantly remind those of us who weren't born there, and
will never see it, that this is not how we're supposed to live. That there is a
gigantic ball of water and rock, that we were purpose built to live on. And
that, through no choice of our own, we will never be able to touch. It would be
a kindness to let us forget.
I don't want to go to temple anymore. I haven't told my parents. Neither would
be happy, but I don't think Dad would talk to me for a while. He might try to
kick me out. I guess I'm technically old enough, it's not like the ship doesn't
have the room.
I am waiting for my model to finish building. I think they give the Academic
machines fewer clock cycles or something, I swear when I went with my mom to the
lab it was quicker. My model is of the geographic changes over large scales of
time on one of the big landmasses on Home.
I heard they had these animals with really long necks, who would eat the leaves
from the very top of the trees. I have seen pictures in the docs. Why did we
leave a place as magical as that? With so many places to explore, so much other
life to meet. Here it's just us. And dogs, and cats. And I think some people
have fish. Don't get me wrong, I love Oliver, but his neck is pretty much normal
sized.

I've been exploring my new home, one abandoned corridor after the
other. I tried to navigate the vast network of tunnels and rooms using
the holographic maps that came with the sales prospectus, but they are
useless. The spaces shown on the map do exist, but the proportions
are all off and there's a lot more corridors and rooms in between that
are not on the map.
A few days ago -- standard days that is, not the local days that last
only three and a half standard hours -- I wandered along an offshoot
from the main corridor between my housing quarters and the air
scrubber installation, I stumbled upon a unmapped server room. Its
contents, rows upon rows of racks crammed full of server hardware,
were not on the inventory either.
The noise when these were all operational must have been deafening, as
would have been the heat emanating from their cores. It's not the most
modern hardware, but I got excited nonetheless. I've become intrigued
-- maybe even a bit obsessed -- about the purpose of this station.
What was out here that warranted a research station this size?
The enormity of the server room only added to the mystery. Why would
they need such an overcapacity of raw computing power?
Hoping to find answers, I powered up one of the machines. It blew out
its power supply as soon as I flipped the witch, but I could easily
fix that in my make-shift repair lab.
Unfortunately, the storage unit has been thoroughly wiped. Not even a
shred of data is left, not a femtojoule of residual charge to revive.
I will continue to try and boot up more of the servers, even though it
will take me a life-time to get through them all. But it's not like I
have anything else to do.

well that took longer than expected. who knew that a delivery
could take that long. apparently ranch is a delicacy that only one
factory in the universe still makes and it's milk based or
something. honestly it sounds pretty gross but waaaayy in the past
it was very popular. we got our next shipment, it will be in the

I promised you guys the positive update,
so here I am... don't ask why I'm up so
late ijbol
About... I think it's been around a week
now? We were finally able to get an
appointment with the prosthetist for SASHA.
We thought it would be a lot more complicated
than it was but it was actually fairly simple?
Goes to show how little we all know about
medicine and doctors...
We don't have the actual prosthesis for him
yet but we did pay upfront. Since they
require that. Is this sketchy or is this
normal doctor things? I don't think any of
us have ever really seen a doctor until now.
While we wait on them to actually produce the
thing, which supposedly will take only a few
more days to finish(?!), we've been trying to
have as much fun as is possible on a planetwide
medbay. There REALLY isn't much to do around here.
We've sort of had to make our own entertainment.
SASHA has insisted on cooking for us multiple
times as well despite our insistence that he
should rest. Injury be damned my boy can work
a grill. That was the best meal we've had
since... well, since before he was injured.
Everything feels like it's slowly getting
back to normal. SASHA looks a little different
because of the scars but I don't think any of
us care. HOUND has been spending a lot more time
with him, which is something I didn't think was
possible seeing how much time they already spend
together. I swear, since we almost lost SASHA it's
been impossible to pry HOUND from his side.
I think we have hope again, though to be fair I
doubt we ever truly lost it to begin with. More
like a stammer, I guess.
...however, HOUND's paranoia that the coolant
leak may not have been an accident has
strengthened, and it's spread to EVIE as well.
I'm not entirely sure where I stand on all that,
but... I don't feel strongly either way. I think
it's possible but unlikely. Who could possibly
have it out for us that badly? We barely even
know any others outside our crew.

Glad to hear that you were able to
resolve your firmware issues with
entirely legal means within the
company's terms of use XP
As for ranch, it's something that
was apparently very popular back on
Earth many years ago...? Some kind of
sauce, I think. That's what the info
that I can find seems to imply.

so, i was able to get my coords tracker working properly with
methods that were definitly within apetlune's terms of usage. it's
nice having it actually render the last number. we should reach
port at our destination on the next log date assuming all goes
well. i'm excited to finally have all this ranch off of my ship.
speaking of, what even is ranch? i didn't ask questions when
picking up the delivery but i can't say i've heard of the item
prior. ☕ tells us that it's gross without going into much more
detail aside from that it is intended to be consumed. maybe those
we deliver it to can let me know. that's all for this log date.
on the next i will, hopefully, be able to tell you all what ranch
is.

i looked into the firmware update and apparently the company that
makes my navbox, apetlune, has discontinued support and updates
for this model, the apetlune nav 3. i might take a look at third
party firmware to see if anyone else has made a version that fixes
this bug. until then i guess my tracker display will just have a
large number of nines (9s) in it.

Have you considered turning it off
and turning it back on? Or smacking
the dashboard really hard? X3
In all seriousness, make sure your
ship's firmware is up to date. That's
fixed the problem for us in the past.
Side note: we have a positive update
but none of us have had the time to
write a detailed log. Soon though!
