You quickly turn off the lights and music at the main hall, and pace to the quarters.

You set the sleep pod and enter it, allowing the dispersable enzymes to lull your mind into sleep.

Congratulations! Bartender Arnold earned 485 Credits today! His monthly total so far is 2815 Credits!

A new day at Galactic Refueling Otupost 254831 begins...

---

The sleep pod opens and you step outside, doing a little stretch.

You begin your morning routine, and plug yourself to the feeding tube.

After that, it is time to prepare the bar for another day.


Music is on, neons are on, replicators are prep'd and ready to serve!

If only there was anyone to serve.

Checking sensors nets you nothing, although security console did tag two starships passing through Beta Carotenii when you were asleep, at 2039 and 2313 hours last night.

A brief worry goes through your mind that perhaps previous days were lucky days, and your outpost, in fact, isn't that very often visited.

Perhaps it is just a worry, indeed.

You gotta fill your time by doing something, though!

A) Bartending trivia!
B) More manual reading!
C) Another chapter of Zirconius!
D) Explore my mind and body!
E) You know what, let's just idle the time away!

You resume reasing the maintenance manuals.


You are interrupted by the ping of the security console.

Kassandra has departed the station and is headed for Madagascar Jump Gate.

Back to the datapad.


BWAH. BWAH.

You recognize this particular alert and check the sensors station.

POSSIBLE IMPACT EVENT == CAUTIONARY ALERT UPDATE:

Sensor system has adjusted probability of impact based on range, speed and computated trajectory of Uncatalogued Asteroid 1:

Probability of impact: 0%

Approx.range of closest approach of Uncatalogued Asteroid 1: 36.3km +/- 100m

Approx.time of closest approach of Uncatalogued Asteroid 1: 1236USY.4d/1m.2014h +/- 10 starseconds

It seems your cosmic visitor won't be paying you a visit after all.

A) Torpedo it anyway!
B) Back to reading, then.

Maia Sanders: Of course. Let me put it onto the holo-screen...

Starlight Corporation Integration Camp Report 8th Late Winter 1001, relating to:
Integration activities of 8 Pilots from Starlight Mechanized Corps (arrived 1st Late Winter 1001)
Day 1:
Initial meet-and-greet went without incidents, and team assignments were met with no protests.
Sota Tamayashi and Johann Eduard Ostfalk have spent most of the day together. Overheard conversations included food, and it seems they talked about their families and private matters as well. It seems the two have very quickly formed a bond between themselves.
Day 2:
During midday activities, Sota Tamayashi set up a kickball match between Team Sword and Team Shield. He was able to captain the team quite well, and his team members seemingly naturally accepted his role as team leader, even if the end score was 0:1 because of Team Sword's better endurance and ability to control the game field.
Later that day, Arthur Lovelace pulled his team into preparing the evening meal. He was seen directing his team mates but also participating in the cooking activities himself. His team members seemingly naturally accepted his role as team leader.
Day 3:
Ichirou Natsugawa and Carla Whiteforest have spent most of the day together, lounging at the observation tarrace and discussing their favorite topics, which included smackball, engineering and mecha. It seems the two have quickly formed a bond between themselves.
Day 4:
Arthur Lovelace and Sota Tamayashi had an argument about the latter's use of smokeleaf sticks in public areas, during which Arthur accused Sota of being bad influence on younger teammates. Their argument was broken by one of the staff, and the two avoided each other for remainder of the day.
Meanwhile, Josephine Fontainblanc and Eva Wilhelmina Langrisser have spent most of the day at the local park, discussing fashion and cosmetics. It seems the the two have quickly formed a bond between themselves.
Day 5:
Thedros Palaikos and Josephine Fontainblanc have hosted a horror movie watchalong in one of the private viewing halls for their fellow Pilots. Mister Lovelace and Miss Whiteforest didn't attend, saying they don't like that kind of stuff. All others were present during the watchalong.
Day 6:
Ichirou Natsugawa visited the nurse's office. It seems the horror movies seen the previous day affected his ability to sleep and induced unpleasant dreams. The files containing the nurse's interview with Mister Natsugawa was forwarded to the staff of the Small Hospital at SMC Base Site in Neo-Amanotsugi City for further examination.
Day 7:
Sota Tamayashi and Johann Eduard Ostfalk had an argument with Carla Whiteforest about Carla's spreading rumors that Sota and Johann are 'an item'. It seems that one of their times together were misinterpreted by Miss Whiteforest and became basis for her gossiping. Carla's defense was that 'it's all like in one of her romance novels' and the two boys have nothing to hide, which further deepened their displeasure with the issue. Staff reprimanded Miss Whiteforest for jumping to conclusions and for spreading misinformation about her fellow Pilots.
The final hours at the Integration Camp were spent without incident, with the Pilots packing up and preparing for the night trip via DYAirlines chartered passenger plane to Neo-Amanotsugi City.

This raport is now concluded.
Chief of Starlight Corporation Integration Camp, J.K.Ester.

Maia Sanders: Well, their stay there sure was colorful.

The incidents with Natsugawa's sleeping problems and Whiteforest's gossiping seem to be particularly important to note down.

Maia Sanders: Understood, Commander Greene, I will now send your choices: Thedros Palaikos, Arthur Lovelace, Ichirou Natsugawa, Carla Whiteforest, Sota Tamayashi, Josephine Fontainblanc, Eva Wilhelmina Langrisser and Johann Eduard Ostfalk. I sincerely hope that, whatever military or police force the remaining 25 Candidates join, they will do their best as well.

Greetings and congratulations to our new Sub-Commanders, Kali Scarlet of Team Shield and K.Shiek of Team Sword. I hope the responsibilities of managing quarters of young and freshly minted Pilots won't be too much of a burden for you.

Commander Greene, this concludes our bureaucratic work for today. Please, if you have any questions, do ask them! Otherwise, we will begin preparations to move to Neo-Amanotsugi City and settle in to our new Base Site. Remember, the 8 Pilots you've selected will arrive on 8th Late Winter. Until then, we won't have much to do I'm afraid.

Honorary uncle has duties so I spent most of Friday evening away, derp.
