The Search for Life #33

Captain's log star date December 6, 3306 13:30With all maintenance completed, and the ship systems all fully up and running at last, We are finally getting under way again. During the last few days we did manage to get a lot of work on the Auto data processing system complete, We still have a lot of work to do as well, but with the basics complete we hope finishing it up will be possible by the time this final leg completes. Due to the length of the leg we will be using some neutron stars to attempt to save time.
14:28
With the first few jumps behind us, and finding some small low value systems we came to Bleia Eoq IF-C d14-12 small system with a neutron star, and several planets, although low credit value they are looking like candidates for Biologic data. After Planetary scans we only managed to turn up The ever loving Bark Mounds, and are now continuing on with the trip.
15:30
We have crossed into from Bleia Eoq sector to the Tyriedgaa sector when our progress was halted due to a system failure that occurred in the main scanner system, we will be holding here in Tyriedgaa SO-Z d13-1 for repairs.
18:22
Way behind schedule for today, we have repaired the scanner and are now pushing on a bit further on the mission.
19:00
This day has not gone on anything like we had hoped, or planned. Between the scanner failure delay, and now an electrical issue in the main power distributor, we are holding again for repairs, this time in the Blu Thae ZS-Z b55-0 system. with an eta on repairs of 3 hours it is likely that we will not be moving on from here today. With this in mind we did make 23 jumps and almost 1700LY today. We still have over 4000 LY and 89 or so jumps till the next point on the mission. Later this evening, depending on repair time we are hoping to continue a bit on logging data and possibly adding the next subprogram to the auto processor. Here's hoping for a better day tomorrow. we are going to shoot for 35 jumps to get back on schedule .
