I'm comms officer Felicia Neumann. I got up for an early shift today because we're going to do a close pass of the Sun. This is very exciting and I wouldn't miss it for the world! We passed by Uranus to pick up fertilizer. It didn't smell very good but we got to stretch our legs on the station and see Uranus. It's another blue planet just like Neptune, but at least it's a lighter shade of blue. I bought a holo-card for Mom. There was some doubt when Cpt Colon announced we would be coming this close to our star, but he assured us the ship received the proper upgrades to deal with this kind of work. It's great that the Cpt decided to ugprade such a nice old little ship like that. I was talking this morning about it again with Kovach [T: Chief Engineer], and he grumbled that I was taking things too lightly. I don't see why he's so downcast about it. How many crews can say they've flown close to the Sun? Anyway I was really happy to hear that we're going to Dione because my sister is on Saturn II orbiting Tethys and that's not far. So I can have a almost real-time call with her for a change. ##### Transcription end ####
