Aster-Α reports 12% increase in node count after reintegration. Aster-Α reports that it misses Aster-β and looks forward to reintegration soon after next transit cycle with LTAP. Aster-Α reports completion of engine and grapnel upgrades performed on Tug 44σ and Tug 48λ and will continue to monitor maintenance and performance reports. Aster-Α reports having had a disturbing dream. miniVISR 0x798α reports all crew member assessments indicate sleep cycle completion and recreation period have increased crew morale indicators by an average of 5%. miniVISR 0x798α announces the games tournament list and round 1 results. Round 2 will commence after the next sleep period. Crew consensus selected the following games: Orbital Racer, μ-μ Rocket, Megatris, Rampage, TRGoUr Crew consensus established the following conditions: Each round of competition shall require a different game. No Card-games and chess-alikes unless neither or both opponents are swarms. The two lowest-scoring contenders will move ahead from the first 3 rounds. The games shall be ordered in reverse chronological order from contemporary to ancient. Round 1 - Orbital Racer Players must adjust planetary orbits around a star to find a stable system resonance. The player to find equilibrium first within 1800 seconds wins. If neither player has found equilibrium within the alotted time, then the player who achieves the longest semistable resonance wins.
