     OK, so it’s quarter to 5 in the morning, and it’s already 43° out.  I thought summer in New Fremont was hot!  I guess that’s what y… Read full post »

     I am apparently having a difficult time writing lately.  Not that writing’s become difficult or anything – I’m not talking about writer’s block here &… Read full post »

     I’m not entirely sure why we all still insist on calling this 2348, when we’re nowhere near the 24^th century, but I guess it just hasn’t been long enough for us… Read full post »

     Right around six years ago, (or about 2,480,934 years from now, depending on your perspective), I promised the space corps command that I would keep a personal log of my experience… Read full post »

January 1^st, 2348 

     Today is the first day of 2348.  The start of a new year, the start of a new life.  It seems very appropriate.

     I have been awake all night, and, after much thought on the subject, I’ve d… Read full post »

October 5^th, 2347 

Anne-Marie: 

     Today we are officially entering the Alpha Centauri system.  Of course, where the Centauri system begins was an entirely arbitrary decision made by the powers-that-be back home, but the fact remains that we’ll be passing th… Read full post »

August 22^nd, 2347 

Anne-Marie: 

     Well, as you may have guessed, today is my 40^th birthday.  Whoop-de-do.  As each year together passes, I look older and older and my fellow crewmates look exactly the same.  Even though Mike is much older than me, I now… Read full post »

July 30^th, 2347 

Anne-Marie: 

     I have to be honest and say I’m getting a little burnt out on celebrations.  It’s like since everyone knows this is our last year on board, they’re all letting out as much steam as possible.  Don’t get… Read full post »

May 16^th, 2347 

Anne-Marie: 

     Theresa sat down with all of us this morning in Medical.  I wasn’t sure about the rest of the crew, but I was nursing a mild hangover from the celebration the night before.  And how we celebrated.  We didn’t co… Read full post »

May 15^th, 2347 

Anne-Marie: 

     I’ve been sitting here looking at my monitor field for a half an hour now because I have no idea how to even begin this letter.  My mind is an absolute jumble right now.  Where should I even start?  I guess I&rsquo… Read full post »

March 9^th, 2347 

Anne-Marie: 

     In my dream, I am falling.  That’s the way it always starts:  I feel like I’m falling.  Slowly I become aware of the fact that I’m not actually falling, I’m in free-fall.  I look around me and… Read full post »

January 13^th, 2347 

Anne-Marie: 

     I just now realized this is the first thing I’ve written since the New Year started.  I take that as a good sign; I’ve been both too busy to write, and there’s just been nothing going on to write about.  A… Read full post »

November 21^st, 2346 

Anne-Marie: 

     Today is American Thanksgiving (our fourth one on board), though of course, thanks to time dilation, this ship is the only place in the universe right now where it is Thanksgiving.  Our deceleration is bringing us slowly closer… Read full post »

October 16^th, 2346 

Anne-Marie: 

     Boredom has officially set in again.  There’s not a lot for me to do lately except monitor Robert’s rehabilitation, which is somewhat akin to watching crystals grow.  OK, I take that back; crystals are at least… Read full post »

August 20^th, 2346 

Anne-Marie: 

     I have to apologize for not writing to you for so long.  I guess I’ve just been keeping myself busy with Robert’s rehabilitation and I haven’t felt very inspired to do so.  I will also admit that after my c… Read full post »

May 15^th, 2346 

Anne-Marie: 

     LD4 already, if you can believe it.  I sure can’t.  As much as I complain about time passing slowly and there being nothing to do, it sure does seem like these last four years have passed quickly.  I hope the next tw… Read full post »

April 18^th, 2346 

Anne-Marie: 

     Robert’s reconstruction is finished, a tiny bit ahead of schedule.  Starting from the molecular level, the medical nanotech have rebuilt his body from scratch, using his DNA and my medical scans as a blueprint.  Each of… Read full post »

March 29^th, 2346 

Anne-Marie: 

     I can’t believe Theresa sometimes.  As a nice treat, I got to see her briefly this morning when, I guess, Jean-Marie decided to take a break in his stasis chamber.  However, to offset that nice treat, she decided she wa… Read full post »

February 15^th, 2346 

Anne-Marie: 

     I’m beginning to think I should recommend to the space corps that they start using exclusively android crews on their interstellar flights.  Humans are great for interplanetary missions, but over the incredible span of ti… Read full post »

January 23^rd, 2346 

Anne-Marie: 

     I just realized something a moment ago, and it was such an epiphany to me, I had to write to you right away:  I’m angry with you.  Yes.  Now that I’ve written it, I’m sure.  I’m mad at you… Read full post »

Anne-Marie:

     I cannot believe it’s the end of 2345 already.  Of course, it’s only 45.12.31 here.  On Earth, something like fifteen years have passed, and it’s probably closer to my birthday than it is to Christ/… Read full post »

December 2^nd, 2345 

Anne-Marie: 

     Believe it or not, things have settled down somewhat around here.  Two months after The Incident, with no real indication that anything’s happened to us, and I guess we’ve all fallen back into our normal routines.&nb… Read full post »

October 30^th, 2345 

Anne-Marie: 

     As I suspected, there is nothing physically wrong with the Centaur.  Down to the molecular level, the skin of the ship is perfectly intact.  Not even the micrometeor pockmarks one expects on the hull of any ship, thanks to… Read full post »

October 21^st, 2345 

Anne-Marie: 

     Located at the very top of the ship, the Docking Bay is a giant indoor hanger three decks high that houses our lander, the Colt.  The cylindrical chamber is kept depressurized to conserve oxygen, so one accesses the lander throu… Read full post »

October 20^th, 2345 

Anne-Marie: 

     It had been bothering me for a week:  I had never thanked Jean-Marie for coming for me when I almost drifted off into oblivion during our EVA.  Sure, I hadn’t drifted far, and I wasn’t drifting fast, but I would… Read full post »
