Log Entry 5
the drive...
Shit! Bok! Skit! Gravity waves!? Come on Viteză. Hold together. This is not what the tech's described. Everything weird. Readings are all wrong. Drive seems to be humming along happily, but every instrument has gone completely insane.
Okay. Slow down. Take a deep breath!
The tech's said that only a small group of sensors are going to work while in jump. Should have turned off everything else... There. Done. Now then. Take stock of what is going on...
Seems the Jump cut off the Log, so it automatically started the next one. I'm okay with that. Let's see. Sensors say we are in jump, and did so cleanly. So... Were those gravity wave readings just an artifact of the drive activation? I guess I'll have to ask the tech's once I get to Kohelic. If I get to Kohelic. The readings are still not what they said I should see.
Then again. It isn't as if the tech's actually know what I am going to see. None of the robotic probes were able to provide more than a few seconds of data, and I'm several minutes in at this point. Oh! Twenty actually. I'll have to check the med read outs. Confirm if I lost consciousness. The tech's said I might during the first jump because my brain isn't able to process the jump itself. Described it kinda like a reboot, only you'd pick up right were you left off, mentally.
Readings on the jump sensors is still weird, but what do I know. There is no guide for what I should actually see. It is all just pure speculation on the part of the Tech's. Need to stay in jump for three days. Drop out and confirm location, then complete the jump to Kohelic. Figure I'll drop out after two days, as I was doing .3c faster than their calculations, and that could explain the weird readings. I'm just going faster. They did say speed is a factor.
I almost hope I overshoot Kohelic on the first jump and have to back-track. Add another record to the belt.
