I can't believe it's possible) *!* Looks like this quantum enta thing is actually quite easy to use! I've just adjusted some settings for it, and it feels more like the SMRT (Satellite Mesh Radio Transmitter, pronounced "smart") communication system I'm used to when we weren't so far away from Earth! It seems quite possible to not only send, but also *receive* transmissions... Would have to figure that out later. Darcy wanted to try it too, but unfortunately she wasn't good with my K-25, so in the meantime she is working on what she calls VD-1 dictator, because we found that the quantum enta device only supports voice in an foreign language. *!* if the VD-1 worked, a voice recording should be included at the end of the transmission *!* Our food and water supplies are becoming scarce, following up on my previous transmission (assuming it was successful), we decided that there was no way to survive any other attacks unless we cloak the ship and get into our ice beds. By the way, they are really Hypersleep Pods, but it feels really cold in there so we got used to calling it ice beds. We can't use it much since it consumes quite a lot of of our limited energy. Of course, it would be much better if we'd been near a star but unfortunately our radar died several days ago, and the only crewmate that can fix it suffered from a meteroid strike which I explained on the last transmission, if I remember correctly. --- Spider Creature & Meteroids --- I have checked the cams yesterday and this is what I found. It was 0200 in the morning, local time, 25 hours and 37 minutes ago[1]. The whole ship started beeping. I rushed to the nav found meteroid-sized space rocks shooting out of nowhere almost getting into our space bubble. I immediately steered out of the zone, but sadly, a few of them managed to still get in. I had no choice but to aim at them, which, as I expected, damaged our nav window (damange level P3). So without a second thought, I initiated the cloak and collected the scattered pieces of rock. Luckily, these were stony-iron meteroids, and was composed of a considerable amount of iron, so I've them put into the FMA (Feed Me Anything) machine, and it used the iron to refuel our reactor. [1]: It has been 22 hours and 42 minutes since the last transmission, and the duration between that and #549 was (as mentioned previously) 2 hours and 55 minutes. Therefore, from that attack until now is precisely 25 hours and 37 minutes. Also note that time dilation should be taken into account when working with time. One hour aboard is approximately equal to 1.666666667 hours on Earth. Meanwhile (restored from cams), at the same time of arrival of the first few meteroids, there was one, asteroid-sized rock that came from the back of the ship. The origins of the object is unknown, though it came closer and closer to the our ship, with exponential increase of speed. Unless our records had been mangled, the asteroid almost seemed *incorporeal* for a mere few seconds, until it passed through our walls. Then, the object sor 2b3795e96c5db089f2b87b5132230afe46faf8a4009195abc8a6a654df2437f0 [THE TRANSMITTER DID NOT {STOP} THE TRANSMISSION.
