<< BACK TO RS001 LOG ###INCOMING MESSAGE### Source: S.S. Stuttgart From: Captain Hans Neumann Subject: Captain's log date [REDACTED] ---BEGIN MESSAGE--- I've just returned from the briefing, we've received new mission. All of this informaion is classified and the rest of the crew will be operating on need-to-know basis. Our first stop will be orbital station designated as "Texas" orbitting around Phobos, where we are to load up and proceed to mars at designated coordinates. Apparently there's been some trouble going on around this "Outpost M-28" and we've been sent to investigate. I don't know what's going on there, but I feel sorry for the survivors. Official version is that there has been terrorist attack and that there were no survivors. I will go out on the record and state that I do not agree with the politicians trying to sweep their own damn mess under the rug, but to be fair I've been doing this kind of thing long enough to know better than disobey direct order from the top. Oh well. One of those days I guess. As for the reports - mostly boring stuff but this is for the record so: The S.S. Stuttgart is fully operational, the crew morale is high, there are no reported technical difficulties - other than the fact that we're running low on fuel, but we have more than enough to get to the next stop and carry on with the mission. I'll write up more updates once I have more information. ---END MESSAGE---
