Melchizedek Serial 0294 Ecclesiastic Report

Ship damaged en route to Beta Hydrii

- Full loss of fore botany bay

- Loss of ship's doctor in incident

- Food stores at half

- Unknown anomaly affected gene sequencing of arabidopsis

- Possible crew gene anomalies (Simms, Hildar P., Sargent)

- No damage sustained to genetic dispersal array

Melchizedek has shut down gravity sheer and is decelerating into

system presently. Navigator Hämäläinen is on watch for

electrophonic bolides. Our shielding is adequate for any other

space debris expected.

At present rate we will set down on the fourth planet in system in

17 hours, local chronology. Time dilation should be minimal.

The full crew will trigger their wake sequences from hibernation

upon landfall. Specialist Janssen will head operations to secure

structural damage from the jettisoned fore botany bay. Doctors

Kroups and Xavier have augmented our rationing system due to

reduced material.

Warrant Master Pasani's mental stresses are significant. Cognitive

inhibitions have been demonstrated at 14 individual intervals.

Rest and meditation schedules have been met and he shows no signs

of chronic impairment. No recommended remediation at this time.

Personal note:

The crew has acted admirably and in accordance with their station.
