Crew Status

Aster-Α reports successful reintegration with Aster-Γ, Aster-Δ, and

Aster-Ε. Aster-Α reports 12% increase in node count after

reintegration. Aster-Α reports that it misses Aster-β and looks

forward to reintegration soon after next transit cycle with LTAP.

Aster-Α reports completion of engine and grapnel upgrades performed on

Tug 44σ and Tug 48λ and will continue to monitor maintenance and

performance reports.

Aster-Α reports having had a disturbing dream.

miniVISR 0x798α reports all crew member assessments indicate sleep

cycle completion and recreation period have increased crew morale

indicators by an average of 5%.

miniVISR 0x798α announces the games tournament list and round 1

results. Round 2 will commence after the next sleep period.

Crew consensus selected the following games:

Orbital Racer, μ-μ Rocket, Megatris, Rampage, TRGoUr

Crew consensus established the following conditions:

Each round of competition shall require a different game. No

Card-games and chess-alikes unless neither or both opponents are

swarms. The two lowest-scoring contenders will move ahead from the

first 3 rounds. The games shall be ordered in reverse chronological

order from contemporary to ancient.

Round 1 - Orbital Racer

Players must adjust planetary orbits around a star to find a stable

system resonance. The player to find equilibrium first within 1800

seconds wins. If neither player has found equilibrium within the

alotted time, then the player who achieves the longest semistable

resonance wins.

vp1d30-σ suspects that Aster-Α threw the match.

Har-33κ looks forward to browsing the exogeology archives.

Aster-Δ has requests access to the full historical archives. Abridged

access granted until next LTAP transit. Request queued, low priority.
