It seems I've encountered that melodramatic man that I've heard so many rumors about. Scuttlebutt from those neanderthals down on the flight deck that I've had the unfortunate opportunity to socialize with has at least proven to be marginally correct in regards to him. This CS is peculiar, and seems to frequently discuss space in ways that border on footling about in a pseudo-religious manner. Despite his... mannerisms, I do believe we have had a successful social encounter which was not entirely unpleasant. Though I do think the saving grace was the fact he was personally knowledgeable of Nomads, and we had a somewhat prolonged discussion on sterilization protocols. Which reminds me, I do need to finish work on the prototype entropic accelerator device for future sterilization tests on Nomad samples. Recent supplies procured are more relevant to the beta-3 wave analyzer, I will need to pry my contact for more materials soon. See CSO proposal 18 and 23.
However I do believe much of my free time will be devoted to upcoming jumpdrive tests. The initial tests conducted with our remote probes have proven nominal, with minimal deviation from expected norms. It has been suggested that Thuringia become a target of extensive testing, due to the apparent weakness of spacetime within the system. Obviously, tied to the so called debacle of Thuringia from several years ago. I'll need to comb over the Order's records of the incident and study them for the upcoming tests. Subspace and spatial mechanics are merely a hobby and masters focus of mine, hardly tied to my doctorate and actual field of specialty. Though, I am apparently the most knowledgeable person on the ship in regards to such matters so as per normal the intellectual burden falls to me.
