It had been 321 cycles since the launch of the Penrose-788 from Heimat, the Nation's capital planet. The ship was well on its way into the Kuiper Belt. The ship would occasionally pass by a comet or asteroid barely visible due to the distance of their home star. Elster was going about her business, clipboard in hand. It was the same routine daily, but she didn't tire of it. She'd completed 3 of the 4 inspections needed, and had just entered the cryogenic chamber. Elster inspected it to make sure it would be operational in the event that they'd need to use it. Once done, there was only one final task. Elster's metal stilts tapped against the flooring of the ship as she made her way to the mess hall. Entering, she'd stand at attention as she reported to the Gestalt Officer of the ship. "All systems operational and no corrective actions are required, Commander You." Elster reported, continuing to stand at attention while staring forward.
