Well Tigger, everything seems ship-shape. We haven't seen the command staff for a few days, so something must be up. There's been enough drills and short-range shakedown runs to identify the most obvious issues.

Me? What about me? Oh, yes, my department is buzzing right along. On one hand I think we're short-handed, and then on another I could use a few more bodies to bolster existing teams. We never have enough at the right time in any case, so I'll do whatever I can, with whatever I have, when I have it.

My hands seem much better. Smooth most of the time. Looking at them now, you'd never make the connection to earlier this morning, ship time... we still haven't sync'd up totally with the station time, but not that that will matter much longer when we detach on our inaugural voyage after the refit.

Yes, yes, I remembered to get you some more digital texts. And I know you love the romances, even though I can't understand why. But... I said i wouldn't judge you, and I shall not. You enjoy what you enjoy.

Now, I'm going to change and hit up the station sea world. Got my last volunteer shift and a few underwater friends to say goodbye to before we leave. Then the rest of the time will be prep and readiness.

You have fun with those novels and I'll talk to you later, after the supper cycle.
