Entry 003: [More Preparations for Distant Worlds 3305]

LOCATION: Eyharts Depot, Pallaeni System, Independent Territory, Inner Orion Spur
REPORT TYPE: Update/Incident Report

Captain's Log. [inaudible]
Uh, Adam what was...
Ah, ahem.
Captain's Log. We're currently docked in Eyharts Depot above Pallaeni A2 for some minor repairs. I decided that since we had a few days before the expedition launches (hard to believe it's only 3 days!) I would take some time to explore this system and see if I could gather some materials that we might find useful during the journey. Unfortunately, during the flight across the system to Pallaeni A2, we were interdicted again, and though we escaped it brought us out much closer to the planet than we had planned, causing a slightly rough landing -- [inaudible]
Ahem...causing a rather rough landing.

The Avenger sustained no major damage during the attack or subsequent...landing, but the crew and I were rather rattled, and the SRV sustained some minor damage as a mooring cable broke loose. Other than a cracked windshield and some minor dings, the vehicle was undamaged. Some scraps of material were also mined from the planet's surface, and broken down into Sulfur, Cadmium, and Carbon.

We made the brief hop from A2's surface up to the Depot to refuel and make repairs. Adam, our 'chief engineer' is overseeing the Depot's repairmen and making sure they don't undo his work on the propulsion system. I think he may just be paranoid. [inaudible]

Well, you are! At least about the ship!

Anyway...

The Distant Radio frequency has been quite helpful in keeping the crew and me sane, and we've taken to listening to it as we work even if we're not in flight. The crew morale (and my own) is relatively high, despite the number of incidents in the past few days; hopefully, that holds true during the expedition. I have high hopes for the journey and look forward to seeing something outside the Inner Orion Spur. It's rather shocking the amount of ground we're going to cover, especially to someone who's only ever lived in one sector their entire life. It's as exciting as it is terrifying. 

I'll attach the incident report below.
