Kieran shrugs.

"So what you're telling me is that the bots are assembled exactly according to the design, but their tolerance doesn't meet the design specifications nonetheless?  If that's all it is, I'd put it down to lou . . . although it'd be surprising for a mistake like that to have been made.  I suppose he'll just have to make do for now.  Is there anything else I should be aware of?"

[Brian]

"Not that I know of," Hale says pleasantly.

[Rezantis]

"Alright. How long do you estimate Ezekiel will take to repair the comms array, and how long do we have before the next batch of crew is released from quarantine?"

[Brian]

"Unknown," Hale replies to the first question.  "It is difficult to ascertain what damage the communications array has weathered.  The new crew will be released in approximately: four hours."

[Rezantis]

"Hm."

Kieran drags himself out of his chair and heads off to get some food.  And drink.  It's been quite a while.

[Brian]

As Kieran clears the top of the access hatch, he spots Finn leaving the bridge, heading towards the airlocks.

[Brian]

Kieran now goes to It's a Crummy Job, but....

[Brian]

After leaving Finn, Kieran finds his way to the galley, located relatively near the bridge.  A wide array of ... nutritious offerings are available to be synthesized.  How would you like your protien shaped and flavored today?

[Rezantis]

Bah.

Kieran grabs himself some juice and a couple of . . . well . . . protein bar things, munching on them slowly while he mulls over a few things.

Once done, he grabs another to take with him, then addresses the room at large.

"Hale, can you ask Crewman Finn when she's planning on going EVA to work on the comms array?"

[Brian]

Hale actually doesn't patch Kieran through to Finn.  Instead, he says, "Crewman Finn stated that EVA would wait until such time as a bot could inspect the outer hull first.  Crewman Erik expects to have this done within fourteen hours."  There's a slight pause.  "The next group of crew has completed thawing.  Sixteen hours remain for quarantine purposes."

[Rezantis]

"Right.  Hale, if anyone asks, I'm going to get some sleep," Kieran addresses the room at large, "Make sure I'm awake at least an hour before the bot is finished it's inspection."

Kieran promptly leaves the galley and makes his way towards his own quarters, fully intending to do exactly what he said.

[Brian]

Once there, Kieran finds sleep easily, aided, perhaps, by the drugs that are wearing off now that the crew is clear of quarantine.

[Brian]

Kieran finds himself being woken up by a tone from Hale.

Kieran now moves to Day One.
