Quoted By:
“MIZAR-VI looms before us. The planet is cold – a loosely-packed snowball of ammonium slurry and water-ice. Light from the system’s central star bleeds through the thick atmosphere, coloring the planet’s terminator line a peculiar shade of reddish-purple.
According to MERRYGATE, this phenomenon is a quirk of the ice giant’s seasonal weather patterns: chromium chlorate and oxide particles suspended by equatorial winds that blew twenty times faster than the typhoons of old earth. When I looked at the planet more carefully, I could even see whitish vapor clouds stretched into thin, wispy strands by those very same winds.
My counterpart’s attention has been divided these past few days. Her avatar often leans faint-red, indicative of a workload that has pushed her hardware to the edge of its processing capacity. This is expected: her arsenal is in constant flux – revised day by day as she intercepts new transmissions and reviews old performance reports.
If she were a human crewmember, I would remind her to rest and recuperate. But she is not human, and I doubt that an enforced interruption would be welcome. Perhaps leaving her to continue her work is the most considerate thing I can do.”
