 Location – B3,R8 Progress

We have 56 veggie packs, 13 meat packs, and 30 bamboo packs.  We have 38 fuel.

We delivered the large sapphires and accepted the deduction for being four cycles late.  Bo tried to get reimbursement for our expenses, but they refused on the grounds that we were late.  I arranged for a mechanic to come and fix both the engine and the garden.  Terranova will monitor the fixes.  I’ll spend a cycle working as a chemist.  The crew and I debated adding one last system.  The options raised were Passanger Bunks, Personal Hygiene Suite, Ship Arms, Algae Vats, Med Bay, Acceleration Buffer, or a Pacifier.  Eventually the options were reduced to the Ship Arms or Acceleration Buffer.  It came down to pulling out a map and marking out where we were going.  Since the Acceleration Buffer won’t help in the next three dozen cycles, so we decided to put in Ship Arms.

It will take two days to install, so I’ll spend the time working as a chemist.
