Hello world!

The computer on board the Excelsior has removed me from cryosleep pursuant to

Procedure [REDACTED]. Our automated telemetry sensors are down (see the systems

report above) and our cryosleep chambers appear to be experiencing overvolt as

a result. Pursuant to Procedure [REDACTED], I must wait a month before

re-entering cryosleep. More transmissions will follow after this one.

Jerome, I feel for you. It's sometimes staggering how long these missions

take. Just looking at the instrumentation here on the Excelsior, we seem to

have been in transit for [unit translation = 1252 years].

Geralt, it's nice to hear from you and the Adrestia. Glad to know your mission

seems to be progressing smoothly.

We set out with our charter and ship around Alpha Beta 2 Beta towards a better

tommorrow. We set course for the nearest inhabitable planet and the Excelsior,

a first-class SpaceCorp Astroviator Mark 3, took off. We entered cryosleep

around Beta Alpha 10 Beta and set the Excelsior to power-conservation (hence

the incomplete systems report).

I will begin procedures to fix the overvolt in the cryo systems and to fix the

auto-telemetry systems.

Sam Arnold, signing off.
