Captain's log star date December 1, 3306 12:43Here in the Statue of Liberty Sector FB-X c1-8 nebula we have completed all the maintenance we can and are beginning preparation's to continue on the trip.
During the night we did get all data from the trip recorded, but not processed, as we have discovered a new way to automate the data processing. Although it will take some time to implement into the data processor.
This process will also enable us to increase the data types that we can process in time.
13:30
A lengthy delay in the IC 2944 Sector HQ-L c9-5 system, just 5 jumps into todays flight. The main thrusters dropped offline and repairs are underway. Looks like a minor issue and a quick fix and we will be on our way.
Engineering estimates repair time under an hour.
13:58
Repairs have been completed, and we are bringing the system back online now. We should be underway Shortly.
14:35
Now we are well on our way and have crossed into the BLUA EOQ sector and the first few systems have been very desolate, spending little mot than a quick scoop as we honk then away we go. The Galactic mapping project indicates that we are only 256LY away from x Carinae but we are too pressed for time to make the trip. We have marked the system for future study.
16:30
A long and uneventful last couple of hours. after the first few desolate systems in BLUA EOQ we ended up gathering lots of data the rest of the sector. then we really made up time going through the Col 228 Sector as most of the systems were very desolate. This brings us to the last few planned jumps of the day through the Bleia Eork sector. As we crossed into the sector there are just 6 jumps left on the flight plan.
17:08
We are now in Bleia Eork HN-H d11-17 just 32 jumps to go to the next WP. We are holding here as we have gone well past the planned distance, and we are in desperate need of maintenance. Currently we are now looking at arrival late on Wednesday, very early Thursday at the latest.
We will use the downtime here to repair, and log todays data. Also the science lab has teamed up with Astrometric to see if they can not get the auto process programs refined further and start implementing them.
Tomorrow we will finish any repairs, and map this system before continuing on.
