Captain’s Log, July 6th, 2330. While we wait for our helium extractor station to produce enough fuel for our return journey, Intrepid will investigate a faint anomalous reading detected from the moon Delta Vulpes IV-a. The long interplanetary journey will allow the crew time to relax and review the data and samples we’ve recovered thus far, as well as to consider opportunities we might explore on our return voyage. Continue reading Voyage to Enlil: Log 8
Captain’s Log, July 4th, 2330. Having completed our survey of Enlil I-a, Intrepid is proceeding to Enlil II, where we will document the planet’s ecosystem and geology. Thanks to the significantly shorter distances between planets compared to Delta Vulpes, we expect to arrive in a matter of a few hours. Continue reading Voyage to Enlil: Log 7
Captain’s Log, July 2nd 2330. Intrepid has successfully completed its grav jump to Enlil, emerging near the moon Enlil I-a. Our primary mission is to conduct a survey of this inhospitable moon and determine if it contains Vytinium deposits in sufficient density for commercial exploitation. Continue reading Voyage to Enlil: Log 6
Captain’s Log, June 29th, 2330. I hate the waiting. Fortunately, the ship is in good hands under Commander Otero’s supervision, and my health has been steadily improving under Doctor Tannehill’s care. I’m eager make the final jump to Enlil as soon as we’re adequately fueled. Continue reading Voyage to Enlil: Log 5
Captain’s Log, June 26th, 2330. I’ve concluded that we need to take retaliatory action against Ecliptic. A show of force should serve as a deterrent against brazen confrontations of the sort we experienced on arrival in the Jaffa star system. I’ve elected to go with Major Sanon’s plan for a switchback jump from Copernicus Minor. Continue reading Voyage to Enlil: Log 4
Captain’s Log, June 25th, 2330. Once we’ve reached minimum safe distance from Petria, we will initiate a grav jump to the second planet of the Jaffa star system. It is my intention to complete a full survey prior to our onward jump to Delta Vulpes. Continue reading Voyage to Enlil: Log 3
Captain’s Log, June 24th, 2330. On Doctor Tannehill’s recommendation, we are executing a suborbital flight to the southern polar region to obtain an ice core sample. This will provide historical climate data to aid in our analysis of the alien tissue samples while only minimally impacting the mission timetable. Continue reading Voyage to Enlil: Log 2
Captain’s Log, June 23rd, 2330. Intrepid emerged from grav jump at Petria without complication. Sarah Morgan and I will make a courtesy visit to the Invictus Biochem outpost on behalf of Constellation and Stroud-Eklund. At a minimum we’ll help build goodwill between our organizations and if we’re fortunate the scientists may have information or trade goods that can support our mission. Continue reading Voyage to Enlil: Log 1
My name is Grace Varley. It’s June 23rd, 2330, and I’m at the Stroud-Eklund star yards in the Narion system. After months of work, my ship, the CS Intrepid, is going through her final checks before we start her maiden voyage. So it’s ‘once more, into the Starfield,’ and full speed ahead. Continue reading Grace’s Voyages: Prologue
