If a day has 24 hours in it, then we have been sitting in space near this desolate moon for something like three weeks.
On the plus side, the Empire has not found us yet to kill or arrest us – on the negative side, we're running out of fuel to keep the ship operational. This includes the artificial atmosphere, which allows us to breathe.
Krolli and I sent a distress signal to the Federation, something like a week ago? And they haven't replied. Not good.
Christoph Sepin, 2012
If all this wasn't enough, we've also lost our artificial intelligence program HAL, in a software update, and the new program DAVE is a little harder to get along with. He often disagrees with us on big topics and voices his opinions, loudly. He sometimes doesn't follow orders, which goes against the whole idea of what being a ship's computer is supposed to be about.
Fortunately, we have the AL-Bot, our new robot assistant who can hack into the ship's system and manually override the Computer when it's necessary. So the situation is manageable... for now.
Of all of us, our deranged particle physicist Flukas seems happiest. Whether we are getting attacked by space pirates or sitting on low energy behind a moon, Flukas is at home on the Zeppelin, period. Thanks to the lab accident that tied his life to the fate of the Zeppelin's engine, he always gives the impression of belonging completely to this ship, and to its fate.

And then there's Helena, who spent almost all of her life in the Austra Centauri star system, but who was born on Vulkan and therefore never became a citizen. I come to suspect that she and my chief engineer Krolli rather like each other. Which is fortunate, because we volunteered to give her a lift back to Vulkan, but have since ran out of fuel and are instead behind a remote moon, hiding from the Empire.
So we're fine. All things considered, however, it would appear that we will be missing the Federation Vier Birthfest in Austra Centauri next week...
