I opened up a new food package last night, chicken tetrazzini with lmuoa sauce with cheesy mashed potatoes and honey-butter rolls and a dupox berry pie with a red wine flavoring packet. I had both rolls because bread never reseals right and a bit of the rest save the pie, which I am saving for tonight. Decent taste, need to see how well they pair with the reclamation cakes. I’m happy to be done with the meatloaf, I was starting to consider stepping out the air lock without a suit at the end there. I’ll update in the morning.

The chicken is descent with the reclamation cakes but the cheesy potatoes pair disturbingly well with them. The pie was fine, a bit dry.

The warping drive was a better idea anyways, but I’ve run out of novel ideas on how to fix it. If I had some four to five micron thick tilithium alloy I could maybe get it working at a low output. But all the tilithium I can access is too thick and I’d run out of food long before I could shave any of it down to thin enough. I’m going to check the com array again tomorrow. Speaking of novels mine is coming along fine, Kim and Golurop have finally meet each other finally. End log entry.” [center]---[/center] “You have no new messages.

The coms array hadn’t changed since the last time I looked at it, still mostly intact but for the one important bit. I am about to drift out of Casleo two’s shadow though, be nice to see some new stars instead of the gas giant. End log entry.” [center]---[/center] “You have one new message.

My plants are dying. If anyone has been following along with all my logs then they may remember aaaaaaaall the way back in log four when I mentioned the break in the water lines for them. I was more worried about having lost water then but I did get most of it back. I should have been worried about contamination, because that’s what happened. Something got in and now my plants are showing signs of toxic shock. I’ve not got much botany knowledge local and of course don’t have net access so I’m not sure what I can do. End log entry.” [center]---[/center] “You have no-” “End messages. Begin log entry. Day one three three, Casleo. Nothing for the plants. I can get a bit more time but they’ll die and then I will a bit after. Had an idea for the warper. High probability it blows up and I die from that. We’ll see.
