Report A.250413 - 2430/2440

Mission(s):

Make it through scheduled patrol.

Clean up habs.

Look... We're not gonna talk about how much time has passed since the last report. Things have just been... Ugh. That's the best way I can describe it. Ugh. Patrol has been frustrating, for some reason we keep passing around colds to each other, and the appointment to get our medication fixed didn't exactly go according to plan. We have another thirty-one days before they're willing to talk to us again about adjusting the antidepressants we've been put on, which sucks ass, because finding the energy and motivation to do anything when everything feels pointless is just... Anyway, so that's what's been up, I guess.

Report Summary: Life kinda sucks, but we keep on keeping on.

Report A.250405 - 2435/2454

Mission(s):

Scheduled patrol.

Get around to actually replying to important documents...

Okay, so first things first: I'm sorry for not keeping up with these reports the way I should be. I should have been aware that Ian wouldn't feel up to writing and have taken over for him rather than simply let the report fall by the wayside. That was very much my bad. That said: The K1T-4 was having his usual feedback problems the day of the maintenance appointment, which means we put Ian in charge. Look, I know what it sounds like, but Ian's symptoms aren't as strong as everyone else's. If I were to have taken over I might have ended up throwing up in the cockpit, and we really just cannot have that kind of thing happening. Ian's feedback echo isn't as bad as everyone else's. He still gets the pounding migraine, yes, but because he's so low energy the worst he'll get is mild nausea. We're absolutely not bullying the poor guy when we make him handle the K1T-4 on those days. But, of course, because Ian wasn't feeling good yesterday he also didn't feel up to doing the report. We kind of just... forgot that we would need to handle it for him, I guess? Anyway, other than that things are very business as usual around the base. There's a couple large groups of diplomats currently staying here for their protection on the way to a conference, and we're low on rations so we can't really feed them, but that's none of the business of a bunch of pilots, y'know? If anything changes I'll update this.

Report Summary: Maintenace went well on the K1T-4's right hand, Ian is down for a nap due to residual feedback echos, and the base is low on rations.

Report ?.250402 - 2145/2202

Mission(s):

Prepare for an appointment with maintenance to check on repairs to the K1T-4's right hand.

Man do I really hope I'm doing this right. Gin spent so long trying to get this looking just right...

Ugh, anyway, things are good. (?) When we finished our patrol shift we ended up getting caught up in other things for a while. Ian managed to get some sleep in, so did Tyr, but for the most part we were all up way past when we should have been sleeping. It's literally the time we normally get up to start our day right now.

Nothing too big really happened during patrol, all was pretty quiet, though our quarters are getting repaired. Turns out the flooring in the upstairs bathroom was rotting away, so they're halfway through repairing that disaster.

Other than that? Just gotta sort out the maintenance issues on the K1T-4. We're still needing help with those funds, but not much can be done at the moment about that...

Anyway, I'll update if anything changes.

Report Summary: Patrol went well, we completely ruined each other's sleep schedules by refusing to let each other sleep, and the bathroom upstairs is currently unusuable.

Report P.250331 - 1253/1301

Recording Officer: RN-9

It was a surprisingly productive shift, all things considered, though now it seems like one of us picked up a cold somewhere and we're all starting to get it...

Ah, the consequences of being in constant close quarters.

Gin is wanting to reorganize how the reports work so that, in addition to listing who's recording it and giving a summary we also specify who's piloting the K1T-4 in a specific area. I guess it's cause Ian and I forgot? I don't know, man. Gin just likes being organized.

They also mentioned having a possible "goals" or "mission" area too? I think they're making too much work for themself, but I also don't control what they do in their spare time.

Speaking of spare time, it feels like we haven't really been doing a lot of actual fun things recently? Like yeah, okay, one hell of a month aside, it just sucks that it's been nothing but work and stress.

I might be a hound, but getting worked like a dog ain't exactly something I want.

Anyway...

Report Summary: Changes might be in the works? Who knows.

Report P.250330 - 1355/1403

Recording Officer: RN-9

So. It happened again. At some point in the last week we lost a day.

The medication we were given was supposed to have run out a day earlier than it did, but because we lost a day and apparently didn't take medication during that time, it lasted longer. It wasn't until Gin was looking things over that it was even noticed.

And of course they're kicking themself over not insisting that at least someone keep up the check ins and reports.

We can't even blame sleeping off the sickness as a reason. There were medications that needed to be taken every twenty-four hours, twelve hours, eight hours, and six hours. There were alarms going off regularly to keep up with them, so there was no way we all slept through it.

Report Summary: More evidence has been found of lost time...

Report P.250317 - 1447/1452

Recording Officer: RN-9

It was a very quiet shift. Quiet enough that Ian took over for a bit. He's a bit sneaky like that, honestly.

The guy is so low energy and quiet that you don't notice him slowly wresting control from you until you realize he's suddenly doing all the work and you're just watching.

Anyway, I ended up calling him out on it and getting control back for a while after, but it's time to head back to our hab for the night. Unless some kinda emergency gets us up before then, of course.

Gin is still insisting we all keep our bunks pushed together after the stress of the other night, except for Tyr, of course. She has a pass from being forced into the cuddle pile due to her sensory issues.

Anyway, that's all for now.

Report Summary: We're a bunch of sleepy bitches.

Report A.250317 - 2418/2440

Recording Officer: RN-9

Compared to yesterday it's a much slower night tonight, which is great, and also terrible all at once. Last night was exhausting, but keeping busy is pretty important for pilots.

Also, Gin won't stop being huffy about the fact that none of the remote monitoring systems on the base work, so the only way they can really monitor things is if the K1T-4 goes out and takes a look around. They're such a mom sometimes... I think. Like any of us know what a mom really is.

Anyway, enough of that: I'm in the mecha tonight, but Gin is keeping close contact over comms. Ian is desperate for a nap, but we're trying to give him enough to do to keep busy.

I'll update if anything changes.

Report Summary: Quiet night.

Report P.250315 - 1321/1334

Recording Officer: RN-9

It's me and Ian in the cockpit tonight. Right now he's copiloting, which mostly means monitoring systems while I do the actual combat portion.

We have two missions today, though they'll be broken up by a rest period. Who knows, after the rest we could swap out for someone else depending?

Report Summary: Combat in the evening, a rest, and then general patrol in the morning.
