Am meeting more and more of the crew, this ship is getting crowded! And after lunch with the security boss yesterday, I was expecting to be jumped every thirty seconds by someone on this ship, but so far everyone seems normal, though that PO that Mal was giving the eye to seemed shocked that I'd never had a boyfriend.

I've met two out of three of the flight control team. I like Jynn. He seems lots of fun, and he understands ships in the same way I do. I don't think he listens to them well though, and one of the shuttles took a pounding as a result. I heard that he's had some rough times lately. Maybe he'll chill out a bit now he's back at conn?

Lemar Darius seems much more staid, which is probably because he's ancient. Older than Mal even, and has actually seen things. I've still got to see the Cadet. I can't believe he's been sent here for training and still not got any. He's been here months. I'm going to have to deal with that fast. If I can get the Chief and the cadet sorted out, then at least I'll have got something right.


Had the mission briefing yesterday. We're going to a trinary star system with very asymmetric star placement, so its going to mean lots of conflicting gravitational fields, maybe even gravity currents. The suns are far enough apart that its creating two points of rotation, so the planets all have pronounced elliptical orbits

The one we're going to is so pronounced its actually out of the habitable zone for part of the year. Its being colonised, with Robots! i guess they're there for testing in highly varying conditions or something. I didn't pay attention, Was too busy contemplating what the space would be like to fly.

If I ever get to fly. We're still in dock! We won't be leaving for another three days! its not fair! I'm going to explode if we don't get out soon. The shuttles are fine, but I want to meet Galileo. Can feel him sleeping in my mind; I just want to feel what he's like to fly, how he feels. Does he glide? Does he prowl? Does he soar? Hells Bells, I need to fly.
