Commander's Log 05/07/3302 0145We remained parked on this small, icy moon. While my crew wish that we were exploring in a somewhat smaller vessel (as do I, since imaging landing sites for an Anaconda can be somewhat challenging), my family is quite thankful for the larger space that this vessel affords. I had considered leaving them behind in Shinrarta Dezhra, but it didn't seem fair somehow to pick up and leave in the family home while abandoning them on an unfamiliar space station.
Our preventative maintenance will be complete by sometime tomorrow evening, after which I will be granting a full 24 hours of discretionary time to the crew. I hope that I will soon be able to hire additional help on the bridge itself once we return to populated space. Having a bridge crew would certainly make controlling this ship easier, even though the crew down below decks is extremely efficient.
It is my intention to depart sometime early Thursday morning, and to push straight through to the core.
