Log Entry #31 by Mission Commander Bennett
Mission completion + 592 standard Earth hours.

We have successfully integrated what remained of the mission module to the Spirit of Venture. Damage to the ship was extensive when it collided with asteroid debris, but we had repaired whatever we could save. The photovoltaic panels that powered the anti-asteroid laser is now our lifeline and what's keeping power going, but its far from enough to spool up our FTL. Damage to ship's reactor was critical and unsalvageable, hence we made the unanimous decision to jettison it towards this system's sun. Captain Yuna's expert handling of the Arcadiarm is commendable.

As per Captain Yuna and Chief Engineer Lindsay's suggestion, we had also rigged one of the PV panels to power the last surviving Multi-beam antenna from the Anti-Asteroid mission module via an Arcadiarm. We will be using half of available power to make blind transmissions to deep space every 8 standard hours, the process of which had been automated so in the event the entire crew is incapacitated, the transmissions will continue.

We estimate we have just under 49 days before supplies run out. We are lost, floating in uncharted space, but the crew's morale remains high."
