With the reception of your vessels from the DSE contract, the station administration has decided it is time the Society receives a dedicated communications server to keep track of shipments, patrols, expeditions, among whatever else the Society may need. This channel is equipped to handle forty-seven terabytes of continuous data streaming, with more than enough data storage for the Society's needs. Secondary and tertiary data storage devices are welcome, but note that the servers will only backup data on the primary drive. In the event of an emergency, data lost on non-primary devices are that member's responsibility.
The station support team will not be requiring shipment log submissions for standard supplies, however these logs must remain on the vessel of use for at least three months for those interning for work in logistics fields. All other cargo or item submissions will need to be sent to station admin for proper allotment of station storage.
Remember to be mindful of your fellow Voyagers, and that any questions can be relayed to Chief White or Chief Doyle. The administration is very eager to see what the Society has planned for the days ahead.
The shipment of KS-13s arrived earlier this morning, alongside two crates of service bots. We've had the appropriate materials transferred to Berths Four and Six, alongside fuel provisions for test burns.
Please remember that until both vessels' registries are confirmed and formatted, neither are authorized to leave Tijuana for any reason without confirmation from myself, Chief Doyle, or Mr. Salworth. Be sure to also submit new identifier recommendations to the proper channel if you haven't already. We're very interested in knowing what the Society has planned for these two.
Finally, if any of you neural net surfers come across good deals on those service bots, forward the links to either myself or Chief Doyle. Remember that they don't even need to work, as the broken ones are good practice for any of you pursuing robotics.
As some of you are no doubt aware, Captain Somers and his crew have completed their courses for the new vessels, and will be performing detailed test flights of the Flinton within the coming week. The Irvona will remain grounded for the time being save for standard maintenance tests until Captain Harat and her crew have finished their final trials, the date of which we are not yet aware of.
Regarding the registry of both ships, there was a considerable spread in suggestions for new identifiers, with many kept in pocket for future acquisitions. Of the submissions, the administration was particularly fond of Sojourn and Wanderer, both submitted by Mr. Cannuck and Ms. Chase. Community was also a favorite of mine.
After speaking with Captains Somers and Harat, the choices came down to rechristening the Flinton and Irvona as Adventure and Endeavour, respectively, names submitted by Mrs. Calinda and Mr. Feisle. There were other quite suitable names submitted, some the Self-Defense Force has requested be held for new defense vessels, and others that were kept aside for future scientific ships.
I feel it should also be noted that there were some.. less than stellar submissions made as well. Most were humorous, such as Magniloquence and Flibbertigibbet, both of which I commend for how out there they were. Others were somewhat concerning, and we'll be having conversations with the ones who submitted them.
Please remember that each member here is part of a group. Each of you is a shoulder to lean on for everyone else, and the administration is also always available should we be needed.
Pegasus set out today for Veracruz orbit to conduct the first of hopefully many surface expeditions. With a clean journey from Tijuana to the planet's orbit, Shuttles One and Three were cleared for atmospheric entry, with the Administrator as well as several scientific hopefuls aboard. We received notice from Shuttle One soon after that both craft had descended and made landfall.
The Administrator has reported that the expedition will remain planetside for at least twenty-four hours, pending any conflicts. Any concerns to be made to Mr. Salworth's post should be submitted to myself or Chief Doyle for the time being.
We will submit a notice to the Society when Mr. Salworth and the expedition return to Tijuana.
We have a couple spots of good news, and a dash of bad.
For the good, the Freeport admin is pleased to announce the finalization of tests on the station's new salvage refinery. Captured salvage from escort flights or scrap mining can now be marked for processing at the refinery, positioned on deck 17 near the secondary cargo storage. Please note that the refinery will not accept defined scrap, such as barrels or capacitors, and that we are maintaining a strict restriction on salvage anyone recovers from the orbit of Veracruz.
I'm also happy to say that our Ms. Harat has finally finished her and her crew's trials, and while their ships are still being prepared, expect to see them providing assistance with supply duties.
To a more somber topic, Veracruz Munitions, a prominent figure in the rings of Veracruz, will soon be broken up by a combination of gravitational forces and debris and asteroidal impacts. The administration will be holding a small ceremony in its memory in the Expeditionary Lounge this Tuesday. I know some will state that neither the station nor its owners were very involved with the Society, and they're right. Regardless, some members of the Society do remember the station playing a far more involved role before Tijuana's establishment, and this is the administration's way of offering what condolences are warranted.
We are, at the least, pleased to inform members of the Society that the station is largely abandoned, and thus no civilian casualties are expected. Regardless, supply captains are requested to remain on call for the next 24 hours in the event this turns out to be false.
