Star Date – 1036.7.5

 Location – R10,R3

We have 280 veggie packs, 17 bamboo packs, 245 tasty rocks, 140 meat packs, and 74 fuel.

Oh crap.  Somehow we picked up a pursuer.  There is a giant space shark trying to eat us.  We avoided damage this cycle and continued our trip, but we really need to get to Ruin or divert to Unity.  We had a council with the crew and passengers before deciding to continue on to Ruin.

The Oatchasers had a number of questions about how many hits the ship could take and whether the mass driver could help stand off the leviathan.  They were comforted somewhat to learn that the mass driver would help keep the shark off and we could probably stand off the shark for at least 10 cycles if we keep moving.

Mooington isn’t pleased that we’re shooting at a wonder of the natural world, but we really don’t want to get eaten.

The Deepdelves are pleased that they will get dropped off at the end of this journey and won’t be delayed by redirecting to Unity.

Link is super excited to help stand off the shark.  Zelda is restraining him, but I think she is enjoying the opportunity to see a wonder from the depths of space.

Calypso asked for some scrap metal to make a set of pan pipes.  We gave them some scraps as it may make them happy and some music might be nice.

Slash, Jerry, and I continued our neutrino observations to keep our minds off the dangers.  We were able to complete a set of 36 observations and Jerry had a flash of insight.  Jerry and Slash became really quite animated over making neutrino versions of Feynman diagrams.
