I think it's been around a week now? We were finally able to get an appointment with the prosthetist for SASHA. We thought it would be a lot more complicated than it was but it was actually fairly simple? Goes to show how little we all know about medicine and doctors... We don't have the actual prosthesis for him yet but we did pay upfront. Since they require that. Is this sketchy or is this normal doctor things? I don't think any of us have ever really seen a doctor until now. While we wait on them to actually produce the thing, which supposedly will take only a few more days to finish(?!), we've been trying to have as much fun as is possible on a planetwide medbay. There REALLY isn't much to do around here. We've sort of had to make our own entertainment. SASHA has insisted on cooking for us multiple times as well despite our insistence that he should rest. Injury be damned my boy can work a grill. That was the best meal we've had since... well, since before he was injured. Everything feels like it's slowly getting back to normal. SASHA looks a little different because of the scars but I don't think any of us care. HOUND has been spending a lot more time with him, which is something I didn't think was possible seeing how much time they already spend together. I swear, since we almost lost SASHA it's been impossible to pry HOUND from his side. I think we have hope again, though to be fair I doubt we ever truly lost it to begin with. More like a stammer, I guess. ...however, HOUND's paranoia that the coolant leak may not have been an accident has strengthened, and it's spread to EVIE as well. I'm not entirely sure where I stand on all that, but... I don't feel strongly either way. I think it's possible but unlikely. Who could possibly have it out for us that badly? We barely even know any others outside our crew. <---- END TRANSMISSION ----> ]]> eyayah gopher://cosmic.voyage/0/Marauder/RE_AUDIO_FREIGHTER_2.txt 2025-10-12T06:35:02Z =============================== | | | > RE: AUDIO FREIGHTER | | >> SIREN | | | =============================== > LOG 016 > TIME 02:32:57 > SUPPLY LEVELS > RATIONS > FOOD 54 DAYS > WATER 54 DAYS > SHIP > FUEL 83 DAYS > COOLANT 84 DAYS > POWER 81 DAYS > FUNDS > CREDITS 348 <---- BEGIN TRANSMISSION ----> Glad to hear that you were able to resolve your firmware issues with entirely legal means within the company's terms of use XP As for ranch, it's something that was apparently very popular back on Earth many years ago...?

For that you can blame Buck, our almost-three-legged disaster of a dog. To be fair, it's not even his fault, poor thing. Two weeks ago, while trying to fix his busted leg, I managed to slice my hand open on a jagged metal plate. Turns out that improvised cybernetics + low veterinary skills = recipe for disaster. Thanks to my wife my hand is much better now, but the dog's leg... not so much. Maybe it's bad luck. Maybe it's just the Universe's way of telling us to stop messing with scrap metal. Maybe this dog is just cursed. Either way, looks like he will have to adapt, just like any of us here. --- Today's adventure: cleaning the air vents. Winter's coming, so we fired up the heating system for a pre-operational check, and surprise! All of the ventilation ducts turned out to be clogged with borzonium crystals. We thought that borzonium molecules existed only in their solid form, in the soil of Nascaria IV. We were wrong: a small part evaporates with the (scarce) sun, and when exposed to extreme heat, it condenses in this glittery toxic (and sticky) sludge. (Pro tip: don't inhale. We learned the hard way.) It took almost all day to scrub the system clean, but the damage was already done: the heating unit's dead. We've already filed a replacement request, fingers crossed it gets here before we freeze. --- P.S.

We didn't get any delivery confirmation after our last message, so we still aren't sure if this thing is working or not. Surprisingly though, just hours after our transmission we got a hefty supply drop a couple clicks away from our module. Is it Christmas already? Given the sludge depth after two days of heavy rain, reaching it was quite a challenge: we had to use horses** to get there. Something rather odd happened, too. Near the drop site, hidden in a pile of space junk - we get a lot of that too on Nascaria IV, it must be a favorite hotspot for ships to get rid of their trash - we found a beaten up cryopod with a living dog inside. A real dog! Could you believe it? We've seen a lot of synthetic ones, but never an organic specimen. Could it be a remnant of some ancient space mission? Or maybe part of a long-dead crew, wrecked in the depths of space? We managed to wake him up, and despite his right front leg being busted, he seemed pretty lively. My wife says it could be a pup, less than one year old, but we're not equipped for this kind of veterinary diagnostic (well, not even for human medical diagnostic, indeed). He had a collar and a tag with the word "FOOTER" engraved on it, only. What kind of name is that? Is it even a name? Wife insisted we needed a dog (for what??) and since there's no point in arguing we're going to keep him. We decided to name him "BUCK": we feel like it's a better suiting name. I know that "finders, keepers", but can we actually keep him? After all he came from a cryopod, he must be someone's. Is it even legal? And what about contaminations? Well, I guess it's too late for that. I've reviewed our contract and nowhere in the 278 pages dogs are ever mentioned. We will have to wait for an official answer from the company on this. In the meantime, I'll try fixing up his leg with some sort of makeshift cybernetic implant. I'm just an IT guy, but I'll do my best. P.S. If we can keep him, is there any kind of dog food you could send us with the next drop? We realized we have no clue what kind of stuff they eat. If only he could feed on this freaking borzonium mud...
