200 jumps

200 jumps in.
We made a discovery. Well, several, actually, but this one was significant. Huge crystalline structures floating in deep space. The composition scanner confirmed that they're made of microorganisms. Whatever process that creates these things apparently can grow quite large.
Unfortunately, I don't have a research limpet controller so I was unable to grab a sample. Still, I've tagged the location in our database for a follow-up visit.
In addition to these crystal fields, we've located two terraformable planets.
The crew has settled into our new reality. I've stopped cursing myself for not outfitting the ship properly for a transit of this magnitude. We just make do. We're fully stocked and supplied and we all have work to do.
Ivy's been spending more time in engineering, studying the modifications Felicity made to our frame shift drive, hoping to eke out another point or two of jump range.
Alyson has mostly kept to herself and I don't want to push it. I think she still resents me jumping out while she was in the fighter. It, doesn't speak well of her mental fortitude for that role. Still, she's been in the command centre and running the ship scanners with me, and I'm grateful for the company.
