Melchizedek Serial 0294 Ecclesiastic Report

Minor personnel issues surrounding the loss of Captain Pasani

& Specialist Kroups are within expected parameters. Justice is

being carried out with due compassion. Our projections show the

Halmen-Gloria disruption holding at 7 points for several months to

come as counseling proceeds. Harvesting projections are likewise

lessened in accordance.

Our third planet survey work has been delayed. Specialists Brewer,

Hanks, and Ostergarten continue in cycle shifts, but Specialist

First-class Janssen has been temporarily removed from duty. Our

chief navigator has also requested a temporary leave of absence in

response to Shuttle 04's loss. I have granted the request to avoid

further complications from the unauthorized entanglement which has

developed with Janssen. Our Right Doctor Nguyen has transitioned

back to the 4th Planet and resumed her work here. The secondary

nature of the beta site on the third planet has less critical

timing and these disruptions are not expected to have a lasting

impact.

Our pre-seeding efforts have been completed and our full seed

cycling is underway. We were scheduled to complete the first

seed-cycle today, but events have delayed completion an estimated

six ship cycles or 10 days standard. Second seed-cycle

preparations are underway and will launch promptly. Our

technicians note that as second-cycle is almost entirely automated

we will have our first opportunity for mass liberty & rest. I am

consulting with Doctor Nguyen on the best way to handle this

downtime in accordance with recent trauma.

Ecclesiastic prayer meditation has increased for the crew on an

order of 12% as measured by system logs. Our people are dedicated

to their work and trying actively to overcome the challenges of

human emotion. I have made myself available for special counseling

as desired by any of the crew. So far my offer has not been

utilized, however.

In other reports, stellar cartography has continued their charting

of the local stars and planets and have identified a total of 13

possible worlds for seeding within range. These planets are being

ranked for their suitability for eventual habitation by

prioritizing gravity, rotation, and natural resources. We have the

equipment and staff to accomplish all of the 13 options if they

remain viable upon closer inspection. I am considering using

shuttle crews to perform remote surveying akin to that on planet

three once second-seed begins in earnest here.

This system is ripe with resources and should prove to be a rich

home for humanity's future.

Earth stations, we have not heard a QEC response since our

awakening from cryosleep in transit. Our messages seem to be

reaching other ships entwined with the SOL/Terra L4 RS001. Please

return.
