This is a serial journal by a space mechanic on an outpost vessel. It explores the murky waters of my own paltry writing abilities.

Starship Log: 014

Finished cleanup today, just in time too. Took soup again for lunch though. Tomorrow we should be back to blissful boring routine… on the other side of the kick. Got off shift a quarter early. Drifted around the observation room. Shohs is … Continue reading

Briefing came through for the power distribution updates. Supposed to fix a fluke that flight team noticed on systems checkout. Looks like it could work, but blueprints don’t prove anything. If all goes well this will be the last I … Continue reading
