Stage 1: Initial Research and Feasibility Studies (October 833 AS till December 833 AS)

Log Entry #1 (October 1, 833 AS)
Author: Drayka Aislyn
Stage 1 begins. The team has assembled, and we’re moving forward with preliminary research. Soren and Talia are working on the selection of plant species. We've set a budget of 60,000 SC for this phase. So far, no major concerns.
Log Entry #2 (October 5, 833 AS)
Author: Soren Valen
We’ve sourced the first batch of plant species—mostly Spirulina and wheatgrass. Initial hydroponic tests are promising, though the nutrient solution needs fine-tuning for optimal growth. Supplies are on track, though logistics are slightly delayed.
Log Entry #3 (October 7, 833 AS)
Author: Riya Melnar
Toxins detected in water samples due to contamination from external piping. We’re switching to an internal filtration system, which will slightly increase water processing costs but ensure plant safety. It's an unexpected expense, but manageable.
Log Entry #5 (October 12, 833 AS)
Author: Alek Seythar
Environmental systems in the hydroponics bay are running below optimal levels. We’ve recalibrated sensors, and Lukas is now running diagnostics on the bioinformatics system. So far, all readings look stable after adjustments.
Log Entry #8 (October 20, 833 AS)
Author: Tamrat Simisola
Customs delays on plant imports have caused a 10-day holdup. I’ve contacted local suppliers to avoid future delays. We’ve adjusted our schedule, and I’ve spoken with Bob to explore additional transport routes.
Log Entry #10 (October 28, 833 AS)
Author: Talia Ilyanov
We’ve begun initial nutritional analysis of the crops. The results are promising—nutrient levels in the Spirulina and wheatgrass are higher than expected. The lighting system, however, seems insufficient for certain plant species.
Log Entry #12 (November 3, 833 AS)
Author: Ivy Serrano
Oxygen output from Spirulina is impressive, but distribution remains uneven across the bays. Working with Kara to tweak air filtration systems. We should be able to fix this with minor modifications to the current setup.
Log Entry #14 (November 10, 833 AS)
Author: Soren Valen
The exotic plant shipment finally arrived, but many were damaged. This sets us back in testing, and we’ll have to reorder. Riya has devised a temporary workaround using native species until new stock arrives. Budget impact is minimal, but the timeline is affected.
Log Entry #16 (November 18, 833 AS)
Author: Lukas Vorlan
Test results from the bioinformatics system are in. Nutrient levels in the water vary more than expected. Adjustments are needed to balance nutrient delivery, but we’ve flagged this for future refinement in Stage 2.
Log Entry #18 (November 24, 833 AS)
Author: Kara Tavrik
Electrical issues have been causing intermittent failures in the lighting systems. We’re switching to a more reliable power source and adding a backup generator. This will eat into the Stage 1 budget, but it's a necessary fix.
Log Entry #20 (December 5, 833 AS)
Author: Drayka Aislyn
Stage 1 is officially complete. We’ve gathered sufficient data on plant growth, oxygen production, and nutrient use. Several challenges emerged, but we remained within budget. We’re ready to move into Stage 2.

Stage 2: Proof of Concept (January 834 AS till March 834 AS)

Log Entry #22 (January 3, 834 AS)
Author: Drayka Aislyn
Stage 2 begins. We’re moving from theory to practical implementation. The expanded hydroponic bay is up and running, and we’ve increased plant volume by 30%. Our budget is set at 2,000,000 SC, and everything is progressing on schedule.
Log Entry #24 (January 12, 834 AS)
Author: Riya Melnar
Water contamination levels are fluctuating again. We've increased filter replacement frequency, which has raised operating costs slightly. I've proposed an upgrade to a more advanced filtration system, though this will push costs by 12%.
Log Entry #26 (January 18, 834 AS)
Author: Talia Ilyanov
Nutritional tests are revealing minor deficiencies in some crops, likely due to inconsistent light exposure. Kara and I have recommended recalibrating the lighting spectrum to better suit the crops' needs.
Log Entry #28 (January 25, 834 AS)
Author: Ben Folk
Transport issues have been sorted out for now, thanks to Bob. The new routes we’re using should reduce costs for material imports. We’ve renegotiated shipping fees, and Tamrat has secured a 5% discount from our main supplier.
Log Entry #30 (February 3, 834 AS)
Author: Alek Seythar
Automation of the irrigation system has encountered glitches. Dana and I are working to patch the software, but it looks like we’ll need a hardware upgrade as well. This will increase the Stage 2 budget by an additional 50,000 SC.
Log Entry #33 (February 10, 834 AS)
Author: Soren Valen
Initial plant yields have exceeded expectations, but pests have become an issue. We've introduced bio-pesticides, which seem to be effective, but it’s another unplanned cost.
Log Entry #35 (February 17, 834 AS)
Author: Lukas Vorlan
The new filtration system is working, but water consumption is higher than anticipated. We may need to adjust the irrigation schedule to avoid overrunning water costs. Discussions are underway to reallocate funds from elsewhere in the budget.
Log Entry #38 (February 28, 834 AS)
Author: Ivy Serrano
Oxygen production levels have stabilized, with output matching 90% of projected levels. The next step is to scale production up for academy-wide use, which will be addressed in the next phase.
Log Entry #40 (March 15, 834 AS)
Author: Drayka Aislyn
Stage 2 concludes. The proof of concept is validated—our hydroponics system can support a significant portion of the academy’s food and oxygen needs. A few budget overruns, mostly from water and filtration issues, but we’re still on target overall. Moving into Stage 3.

Stage 3: Initial Construction and Testing (April 834 AS till June 834 AS)

Log Entry #42 (April 1, 834 AS)
Author: Marc Delson
Construction has begun on the new sections of the hydroponics bay. So far, we’re ahead of schedule. We’ve allocated 3,000,000 SC for this phase, though any material shortages will affect costs. We’re still tracking the market closely.
Log Entry #44 (April 7, 834 AS)
Author: Alek Seythar
Environmental controls are fully operational in the newly constructed sections. However, there’s a power draw issue with the air circulation systems. Kara and I are working to optimize power usage, but we may need to upgrade the circuitry.
Log Entry #47 (April 15, 834 AS)
Author: Bob Kelsomagus
A materials delay has impacted the delivery of hull panels. We’re working with alternative suppliers, but this may cause a two-week delay in construction. I’m coordinating with Ben to source replacements at a minimal cost increase.
Log Entry #50 (April 22, 834 AS)
Author: Soren Valen
Plant growth in the expanded areas has been phenomenal, with yields up 25% from Stage 2. The automated systems are handling the workload, but we’ve seen nutrient imbalances in a few crops. Alek and Dana are troubleshooting the nutrient delivery systems.
Log Entry #54 (May 5, 834 AS)
Author: Talia Ilyanov
Nutrient levels are back to normal, but the energy draw from the lighting systems has increased significantly. I’ve flagged this for Kara to investigate. We may need to scale back on lighting or introduce alternative energy sources.
Log Entry #57 (May 18, 834 AS)
Author: Riya Melnar
Water contamination has cropped up again. This time, the contamination appears to be from industrial byproducts which are most likely from the water source or contamination caused in storage tanks. We’re upgrading the filtration systems again, but this will push our water management costs up by 20%. We must ensure that we obtain water from a clean source without coontamination.
Log Entry #60 (June 3, 834 AS)
Author: Kara Tavrik
We’ve switched to more energy-efficient lighting, which should reduce operating costs by 10% moving forward. No further delays in construction are expected,

and we’re on track for completion by the end of the month.
Log Entry #64 (June 28, 834 AS)
Author: Drayka Aislyn
Stage 3 is complete. Construction is finished, and initial testing has shown that the system is running at 95% efficiency. A few minor issues persist with water and energy use, but we’re well within acceptable ranges. On to Stage 4!

Stage 4: Expansion and Optimization (July 834 AS till end September 834 AS)

Log Entry #66 (July 3, 834 AS)
Author: Marc Delson
We’ve begun expanding the hydroponics bay, doubling capacity for food and oxygen production. Budgetary constraints are already a concern, with material costs up by 8% since the last phase. Bob is renegotiating contracts to keep costs down.
Log Entry #68 (July 10, 834 AS)
Author: Alek Seythar
Automated systems are running smoothly, but the integration with the new sections is causing minor issues with irrigation timing. Dana and I are working to fix this, but it may require a more significant software overhaul than we initially planned.
Log Entry #71 (July 17, 834 AS)
Author: Talia Ilyanov
Crop yield tests are ongoing, and results are encouraging. We’ve achieved a 30% increase in food production, but nutrient supply lines are starting to show strain. If we continue at this pace, we’ll need to increase our nutrient budget by 15%.
Log Entry #74 (July 30, 834 AS)
Author: Lukas Vorlan
Data shows oxygen production is reaching full capacity, but water use has become a limiting factor. We’re working on ways to recycle more water internally, which should offset some of the increased costs.
Log Entry #77 (August 10, 834 AS)
Author: Ivy Serrano
Oxygen production is now sufficient for 75% of the academy’s needs. Next step is to optimize distribution across the facility, which Marc and I are coordinating. No significant delays, but water contamination is still an ongoing issue.
Log Entry #80 (August 26, 834 AS)
Author: Ben Folk
Supply lines are starting to feel the pressure with increased demand for both fertilizers and construction materials. I’ve been in talks with two new suppliers who can meet our quantity needs at a slightly lower cost. We should be able to make up for the budget overrun if we can finalize these deals quickly.
Log Entry #81 (August 28, 834 AS)
Author: Riya Melnar
Water contamination has spiked again, likely due to external industrial runoff. We've isolated the issue and are running emergency filtration. Marc has proposed an upgrade to the entire water filtration system, but it's a costly solution. For now, we're continuing with additional filtration until we can allocate funds for the overhaul.
Log Entry #82 (September 1, 834 AS)
Author: Alek Seythar
The software Dana and I developed for automating the nutrient delivery system has been working well. However, the increased load is causing strain on the system during peak times. We’re running tests on a more adaptive irrigation schedule that should ease the pressure. No major issues yet, but we’ll need to address this in future phases.
Log Entry #83 (September 4, 834 AS)
Author: Soren Valen
Our expansion has allowed us to introduce several new plant species into the system. Tests are showing good integration with the nutrient solutions, and preliminary data suggests a significant increase in both food output and oxygen production. This could give us a much-needed revenue boost once we begin export operations.
Log Entry #84 (September 7, 834 AS)
Author: Kara Tavrik
We’ve finished upgrading the lighting system in the new sections of the hydroponics bay. Energy use is down by 10%, and crop growth has improved across the board. However, we’ll need to monitor the power grid closely, as any surges could destabilize the entire system.
Log Entry #85 (September 14, 834 AS)
Author: Tamrat Simisola
Public interest in the project is growing rapidly. I've secured two potential partnerships for future export of food and oxygen to nearby stations. This should significantly boost revenue and help with long-term sustainability. I've also been working closely with Ben to align logistics for the first export runs.
Log Entry #86 (September 20, 834 AS)
Author: Drayka Aislyn
Stage 4 is wrapping up, and we’re in a good position heading into the final phase. While water contamination remains an issue, oxygen production is at 100%, and food output has surpassed our initial projections. We’ve stabilized the budget overruns, and our new suppliers should keep us on track moving forward. Preparations for Stage 5 are underway.
Log Entry #87 (September 23, 834 AS)
Author: Drayka Aislyn
As we near the end of Stage 4, we’re dealing with a 5% budget overrun due to unforeseen filtration upgrades and nutrient costs. I have asked Ben to procure more filters. Despite that, we’ve maintained a high level of production efficiency. The project is ready to move into Stage 5, with full-scale implementation on the horizon.

Stage 5: Export and Financial Sustainability (October 834 AS till beginning November 834)

Entry #101 – October 1, 834 AS
Author: Drayka Aislyn, Team Leader
Two months into exporting food and oxygen, we are finally seeing consistent demand from nearby settlements. The feedback from our clients has been positive, though we've faced delays in documenting these developments due to persistent technical difficulties with our internal systems. A corrupted database caused weeks of delays in tracking revenue and shipment logs. Alek Seythar has proposed a system-wide overhaul to prevent further issues.
Entry #102 – October 5, 834 AS
Author: Alek Seythar, Medical Systems Engineer
I have completed a preliminary diagnostic on the database issues and confirmed that the primary cause is outdated hardware in the central server. Dana Corvis has agreed to work with me on implementing a new automation protocol to prevent data corruption during simultaneous operations. Budget adjustments have been requested to cover the cost of replacing the failing hardware.
Entry #103 – October 10, 834 AS
Author: Tamrat Simisola, Public Relations Officer
Efforts to publicize our exports have been fruitful. I've secured partnerships with two additional stations in the region, significantly increasing demand for our produce. However, the technical issues have caused delays in invoicing, which I’ve explained to our clients. They’ve been understanding so far, but we need to resolve these issues promptly to maintain credibility.
Entry #104 – October 15, 834 AS
Author: Lukas Vorlan, Bioinformatics Specialist
While analyzing export data, I noticed an inconsistency in the oxygen purity readings for one batch. This was traced back to a calibration error in the monitoring system. The issue has since been resolved, but it highlighted the need for more robust quality assurance during production and packaging. We’ve allocated additional time for QA checks moving forward.
Entry #105 – October 20, 834 AS
Author: Talia Ilyanov, Clinical Nutrition Specialist
Our food exports are receiving excellent reviews, particularly the nutrient-dense greens and exotic fruits we’ve cultivated. However, there has been feedback regarding occasional spoilage during transit. Bob Kelsomagus has suggested we invest in advanced refrigerated transport containers to address this. The initial cost is high, but it may be necessary to preserve quality and expand client trust.
Entry #106 – October 25, 834 AS
Author: Bob Kelsomagus, Logistics Advisor
We’ve begun sourcing refrigerated transport containers from a trusted supplier. Delivery is expected within three weeks. This should mitigate spoilage issues, which have affected 5% of our recent shipments. In the meantime, I’ve worked with Ben Folk to optimize our routing schedules to shorten transit times where possible.
Entry #107 – November 1, 834 AS
Author: Soren Valen, Pharmacological Botanist
As part of our effort to diversify exports, we’ve been experimenting with medicinal herbs. Initial results are promising, and we’ve identified several species that thrive in our hydroponic system. A small batch has been prepared for export, with priority given to clients specializing in pharmaceutical development.
Entry #108 – November 10, 834 AS
Author: Ivy Serrano, Human Physiology Specialist
The oxygen export system is now operating at 90% efficiency, thanks to improved quality checks and recalibrations. Our clients have reported a noticeable improvement in air quality. Additionally, we’ve started using advanced monitoring software designed by Dana Corvis, which has helped prevent further technical hiccups.
Entry #109 – November 20, 834 AS
Author: Dr. Jill Xi, Academy Director
I am pleased to report that Project Hydrothera has entered a financially sustainable phase. Export revenue is steadily increasing, allowing us to offset initial investments and fund continued development. While technical difficulties hindered our documentation, the team’s resilience ensured that production and client relationships were unaffected. Moving forward, our focus will be on expanding capacity to meet growing demand while refining our processes.
