I have finally been able set this thing up properly, and I gotta say, for an old, abandoned terminal in the middle of nowhere, almost inside its own little metal nest, it has held up pretty well. There's not much vibrations thanks to the extremely over-engineered magnetic stabilization the planes of our ship use, so the keyboard didn't degrade. Its CPU has one of the best designed idle modes I've ever seen across my many explorations of this little underworld on this little bullet of scrap. Its... frustrating, but I try my best to keep myself distracted from it, what's happening on our ship. It started out as a generation ship but went way beyond its operational limits, developing into its own self-sustaining system, somehow, until it would decay, of course. It is currently not travelling anywhere, but is also not letting us know what lies outside, or where we are. Many of my experiments with some of the last fragments of measurement adhesive have shown that the walls of the lowest level, just above where the radiators should be, expand by a small fraction during a specific time of day. That confirms the presence of some kind of external heat source, or an internal anomaly. The plane is a cylinder, of course, and its rotating, along with its eleven sister planes, so heat is distributed across the structure like old Apollo, but still, the metal in different areas displays very similar levels of expasion. That means that we are in orbit, and that too, in orbit of a giant world, because the time period... --- END TRANSMISSION ---
