Minor updates.


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.

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
