Our medic warned us that coming out of stasis would be somewhat jarring, but what I didn't expect was this brain fog. Guess that's what prolonged artificial sleep will do to you. Laurie Jaynie reporting for duty, aboard the exploratory jumpship "Gazellier". It's a small ship, even for small ships. Currently there are 15 souls on board, 16 if you count the on-board system AI. I'm no philosopher, I can't say what counts as a "soul" in this world of advanced AI and cryonic sleep, but I digress. Let me provide background on our mission and our ship. That seems appropriate for an archivist. The Gazellier was comissioned by the Municipalist People's Coalition as a social research and exploration ship, with express goals to record and relay the experiences of working people across the reachable galaxy. Perhaps that seems arbitrary as a mission statement for such an expensive undertaking. However, the MPC has always stuck by the power of words. As one of the multitude of preceding ideologically aligned movements once put it, "Our Word is Our Weapon" (Ref: Zapatista National Liberation Army). Our crew is comprised of: 2 Pilots 2 Medical Specialists (1 researcher, 1 physician) 1 Ecological Researcher 1 Mechanical Engineer 1 Electrical Engineer 1 Software Engineer 1 Archivist (yours truly) 1 Horticulturist 1 Navigational Engineer 1 Chef 3 MPC-PDC Gaurds (Municipalist People's Coalition - People's Defense Council) 1 Ship-integrated AI (the AI has told us its name is Eri) We're approaching our first community, a mining outpost on the minor planet AFZ118-28. Once we have docked I will begin interviews with the mining crews and families, to be logged into our archiving system. Until then, I'm on general duties helping around the ship. Today I'm assigned to aid the Chef. Tonight's dinner will be a vegetable gumbo. I haven't had that in practically a millenia. Look I've been in stasis for a long time, allow me a few jokes here and there okay? Signing off, Laurie Jaynie [Action: Power Off] [Memory checks: OK] [SYSTEM IS POWERING DOWN]
