Today’s mess: Reconstituted protein (RCA Block 6), HyperPasta Shape 1B, kale (extruded).
Ship time is now 04:00. Now commencing alpha shift.
Advisory: All systems nominal.
Ship time is now 12:00. Now commencing beta shift.
OK so I’ve been analyzing Wally sightings from the past month and he’s settled into a fairly consistent pattern. Days 0, 1, 3, 4 sightings are always aft, often around Pod 10, but he moves to the forward half of the ship on Days 2 and 5.
You’ve been waking up at 06:00 to watch a raccoon?
Science doesn’t sleep, Nia.
You sleep. Constantly. I’ve seen you fall asleep in the common area at 15:00.
@murat, how is it that the raccoon is this predictable and we still can’t catch him?
@ifer, is this from the public feed cams I have in the common areas of the ship?
Um, yeah.
Someone set those feeds to loop. That’s why you’re noticing consistent patterns.
What -- I can’t believe I didn’t notice that.
Get some sleep, Ife.
Alert: Forward Hull, Decks 2-4 gravity of 1.16 g exceeds nominal.
Ship time is now 20:00. Now commencing gamma shift.
A research question for my novel: How long would it take for someone to notice if artificial gravity failed in one of the cargo pods? Assuming no one is in there.
More or less instantly. Ship’s pretty good about tracking and notifying us about these things.
Is there a scenario in which the ship does not notice something like gravity going offline?
yes, what if a rogue monitoring daemon edited the datastream before the ship could process it?
Fascinating, is that a thing you can do?
No, it’s not. Chang, stop making stuff up.
it’s called creativity rosa
