T+25:53:58 Alex has lost communication. T+26:01:01 Astronauts have finally noticed the camera test set up by Ross. They failed the test due to their slow reaction time (over 25 min). T+26:02:02. Astronauts inform MC they noticed immediately, but did not report because they didn't want to antagonize MC. T+26:12:12 Adrian took Capcom. T+27:04:09 Habitat has lost all power; there appears to be smoke in the habitat; possible hull breaches due to a meteor shower. All astronauts safe in the longhouse. Emergency Declared. T+27:05:13 There is liquid on the electronics. T+27:06:30 Astronaut Alex goes out on an EVA to determine and correct the problem. T+27:08:28 There is no blast crater around the habitat; Alex looks for damage to the power source. T+27:09:44 Alex's headset is losing power. However, there is no visible damage to the habitat. T+27:10:49 Roman launches in case he is needed to rescue the astronauts. T+27:12:03 Airlock is pressurised for Alex to re-enter the habitat. T+27:13:22 Alex's headset is dead. T+27:14:46 Alex enters the interlock. T+27:17:10 Alex reports the interlock is full of a powder-like airborne substance and there is a blood-like substance in the power box. T+27:18:49 Roman is in Earth orbit, ready for possible extraction. T+27:21:39 Alex prepares his equipment for a second IVA to the interlock. T+27:25:44 Alex and Kevin enter the interlock. T+27:27:30 Alex returns to the longhouse and switches headsets. T+27:30:55 The liquid in the power box is believed to originate from within the habitat; it may be juice. T+27:34:34 Alex reports no sparking in the power box. T+27:35:05 The liquid is confirmed to be juice. T+27:38:08 Astronauts now believe the liquid is paint thinner. T+27:52:43 Astronauts try to mop up the substance and turn on the power. T+27:58:40 Alex's transmissions are garbled and cannot be understood. T+27:59:38 Substance in the power box is no longer liquid; it has been partially absorbed by the drywall. T+28:04:14 Power is restored; permission is given for astronauts to enter the interlock. T+28:07:53 Tech Director suggests that the liquid may have been lubricating fluid from the gears of the satellite dish. T+28:08:54 Robbie is declared inoperative: damaged during meteor strike. T+28:10:03 Longhouse cameras and TV are inoperative. T+28:11:35 Astronauts repair cameras and TVs. T+28:16:57 Astronauts are attempting to upgrade Andromeda; auxcom is inoperative.

T+41:58:58 Repressurizing airlock T+42:02:38 Airlock repressurized.Astronauts are back in the habitat. T+42:03:11 Internet is back online: website updated. T+42:06:45 Cameras are down; large amounts of static on CapCom. Emergency Declared. T+42:09:14 Auxcam shows that there is no power in the interlock. T+42:10:25 Astronauts report that the power has been cut throughout the habitat. T+42:12:03 Habitat does not appear to be receiving MC's transmissions. T+42:12:33 Roman is on station (in Earth orbit). T+42:12:52 Habitat launches a relay satellite. T+42:16:58 CapCom is back up; astronauts attempt to re-establish visual contact. T+42:17:51 Cameras are restored; power is evidently back up. T+42:22:26 Shift change: Jingping on logs T+42:24:11 Alex's precycling biomeds: bloodpressure: 144/81 pulse: 87 T+42:48:49 Alex's postcycling biomeds: bloodpressure: 132/64 pulse: 135 T+43:02:08 Shift changes: Jennifer on Logs T+43:18:49 Yi Yuan's Biomeds - before biking: bp 151/125 pulse 74 T+44:33:48 Analysis of EVA samples: 1. two identical rocks with many brittle layers 2. medium sized grey rock, semi lustrous, very hard and solid 3. grey sedimentary rock, about same size as #2, has minimal lustre, smooth texture 4. small red rock, very hard, semi-lustrous, transluscent white substance on it, possible biohazard, possibly radioactive 5. dust from mars, rough grain, somewhat red with large black particles, somewhat lustrous T+? Kevin's Biomeds: bp 128/86 pulse 89 T+45:12:35 Since mission time counter is not working, Roman's watch becomes standard. T+45:15:08 Kevin's biomeds: bp 133/80 pulse 77 T:46:05:00. Alex and Kevin go on reapir and inspection EVA T+46:21:10. Astronauts return from EVA T+46:53:39 Kelli's precycling biomeds: bp 128/61 pulse 77 T+46:17:37 Kelli's postcycling biomeds: bp 115/70 pulse 70 T+46:47:33 John's postcycling biomeds: bp 134/76 pulse 92 T+48:48:40 Dust storms are headed towards the habitat. T+48:51:41 Cameras in interlock are on the fritz; astros turn off electronics. Emergency Declared. T+48:52:16 Power fluctuations in interlock. T+48:52:36 Lots of small impacts and large impacts at 10-15s intervals. T+48:54:47 Longhouse does not appear to be affected by dust storms. T+48:57:33 Interlock readings deteriorating; loud noises heard. T+48:59:00 Astronauts ordered to evacuate the interlock. T+49:00:31 Astronauts re-inforce bulkhead. Bulkhead on North East side of interlock most affected. T+49:01:00 Astronauts rout power from auxiliary circuit to the auxiliary fan. Additional air now being pumped into habitat. T+49:01:40 Astronauts report the bulkhead is holding. T+49:03:42 Wajid's headset does not work; he switches batteries. T+49:04:16 Astronauts report the bulkhead is secure. T+49:07:33 Astronauts evacuate the interlock, into bathroom. Leave bulkhead between rooms open to obvserse re-inforced bulkhead. T+49:09:02 Alex reports that there is no hull breach. T+49:10:30 Alex reports bulkhead has decompressed explosively. Direct meteor inpact. Astronauts close bulkhead from bathroom to interlock, and retreat to longhouse. T+49:12:41 Astronauts hear more collisions, this time in the bathroom area. T+49:16:38 Interlock sensors are somewhat jumbled; readings show extremely low pressure and oxygen. T+49:20:43 Astronauts report that the dust storm seems to have quietened. T+49:25:39 Astronauts report no unusual noises. T+49:29:08 Astronauts turn on more lights. T+49:32:22 Authorization granted for Kelli to perform an IVA to the interlock. T+49:34:20 MC plans to vent air from the shower's air tank as Kelli enters the bathroom; this should prevent explosive decompression of the longhouse should the bathroom be depressurized. T+49:36:20 Sensor readings seem to indicate that the bathroom is pressurized; however, air will still be vented as a pre-emptive measure. T+49:39:17 Astronaut Yi Yuan reports hearing a thud outside the habitat. T+49:40:07 Static on the headsets. T+49:42:00 Astronauts are down to one roll of duct tape; concern about Kelli's ability to fix hull breaches with only one roll of duct tape and no other astros on the IVA. T+49:53:37 Airlock depressurized so that Kelli can retrieve the EVA suits from it. T+49:55:07 Kelli enters the bathroom and inspects it quickly for damage. T+49:56:04 Kelli attempts to clear away debris that had fallen into the interlock. T+49:57:12 Kelli retrieves the other EVA suit from the airlock. T+49:58:06 Repressurizing the bathroom. T+50:03:37 Bathroom fully repressurised; Kelli re-enters the longhouse. T+50:21:58 Bathroom depressurisation begun for a second IVA (Kelli and John). T+50:24:04 Bathroom depressurisation complete; astronauts enter interlock. T+50:29:42 Repairs are halfway completed. T+50:36:13 Repressurisation of interlock commences. T+50:40:27 Power and video restored in the interlock; interlock is 80% pressurised. T+50:42:25 Interlock is fully pressurised. T+50:43:08 Astronauts re-enter the interlock and desuit Kelli and John. T+50:48:55 Astronaut Kevin is not feeling well; Leigh believes he is just tired. T+51:00:55 Confirmation that Hyperbola is running. T+51:06:16 Bonk shuts down when there was an attempt to run Auxcom T+51:13:53 Astronauts allowed to have dinner. T+51:17:53 Bonk back up. T+51:28:55 Alex: "I'm going to see if I can install Satan on Hyperbola." T+51:29:40 Alex continues his search for Satan. T+51:45:30 Power surge causes Stonehenge to temporarily go down. T+55:38:00 Astronauts report slow leak in Interlock ceiling. Evacuate the Longhouse. Prep for EVA. Emergency Delcared. T+56:05:00 John repairs leak, Emergency over. T+56:38:00 Astronauts leave message on AuxCom indicating that they again have a hull breach in the Interlock. This breach is larger than the first. Astronauts lie down and sleep to conserve oxygen. T+62:59:30 Logs reactivated for final day. T+63:00:00. Astronauts retreat to Longhouse. Interlock at 73% oxygen. Astronauts await MC staff to preform EVA. T+64:45:00 Astronauts decide to preceed with EVA without MC staff. T+64:55:24 Astronauts Alex and John depart on an IVA for repairs. T+65:03:47 IVA astronauts return to Longhouse. T+65:10:11 Interlock repressurized; astronauts re-enter. T+65:24:30 John pre-cycling: bp 130/74, pulse 78 T+65:35:05 John post-cycling: bp 126/70, pulse 86 T+66:21:10 Yi Yuan pre-cycling: bp 163/78, pulse 95 T+67:04:29 Dan is now on logs T+67:05:23 Shutting down in order to commence deorbiting procedures T+67:17:33 Astronauts are entering the shuttle T+67:18:12 Astronauts are ready. T+67:19:01 Shuttle Galileo requesting fire-for-effect. T+67:25:15 Shuttle Galileo is setting to manual. T+67:26:03 Shuttle Galileo de-orbit burn completed. T+67:35:05 Shuttle Galileo is in entry phase. T+67:3------ Mission timer is down T+67:-------- Preparing for landing procedures. T+67:-------- Shuttle Galileo has incorrectly prepared the gears.
