This is the first log entry of the TCV Starjump. We have successfully
terminated our acceleration sequence. Our current rate of travel is
0.89115c. It is 12:44 on the 6th December 2592 and we have started our
initial shifts on the command deck.
There's two orders of business. The first is concearning the rotation
of "on duty" staff. Considering that everybody on board is of civilian
background, there is no hierarchy to fall back to. Some have suggested
that we rotate people in charge over time to prevent knowledge silos
and abuse of power. A consensus about this seemed to have been
reached.
The second order of business is our destination. We are on course to
intersect with attractor point GG45-A91 which is believed to be a
black hole. Our hope is to get the required boost to
0.99251c. Considering the circumstances of our departure, we are not
yet ready to engage the skipper engines; more navigational
calculations are required first.
But regardless of this, we have a long and dangerous journey ahead of
us. It will be many hundreds of years before our children will make it
to our new home. We intend to keep a record as best we can to preserve
some of our experiences and mistakes along the way, so that future
generations may learn from them.
This is all for now. Signing out.
