Bowex completed the industrial hardware shipment I had requested before I ever even got it logged that I had hired them, and I have already sent them the bonus for their timely delivery. Based on what they said, in their final message, I asked around my researchers, and it seems that Alyssa had a chat with one of the Bowex employee’s and probably said a bit more than she should have…. hopefully it won’t affect the other contracts.

Kishiro was very prompt with accepting the contract, but has yet to ship anything to our station. Hopefully they will get to filling our contract soon. I am still waiting to hear back from Gateway.

We replaced the superconductors in the mining arrays, and they did operate normally again. However, we are keeping a close eye on them and they are once again degrading. Albeit very slowly. We are trying to determine what is causing the problem. Yesterday, we were able to do more testing of the arrays than we had been able to do in the entire time we have been in Omega-3. We got lots of good data, that looked very promising. Alyssa is still working on getting all of the data from the ore samples. Jordan is analyzing the superconducting conduits to see if he can isolate the source of the problem.

I also met up with some of the primary fleet of IMG, and I accompanied a convoy to Tau-23. Though, I didn’t return with them and used the opportunity to take care of some business on Java station where we still have a few items in storage. I went ahead and brought back a couple of instruments on my return, including the spectroscopic ellipsometer.
