JANA - Three Months Later

Hello Journal, in case you’ve forgotten who owns you, I’m Jana Gee.

It’s been three months since I’ve written in here because I have been incredibly busy. Non-stop busy and constantly on-the-go.

With a population of nearly 2000 people on Red Genesis along with about twenty-thousand animal, plants, birds, and aquatic species; being the only Engineer onboard who had some knowledge of the climate requirements of all the species and even fussy humans; had been one ordeal after another.

Then there was the monitoring and slight repair work of the ship itself which was almost an entire job. The atmospheric pressure on the ship was rougher than anyone had anticipated, which caused instruments to erode faster. But thanks to the remarkable expertise of the cockiest Captain across the Galaxies, Captain Thomas, we were able to utilize less fuel and more gliding, lessening the impact overall.

When it came to Thomas, I had to admit, he was a surprise. Still cockier than anyone I’ve ever met, but more competent, intelligent, gifted, and charismatic than anyone too. He was a mystery to me, and someone who just seemed to have the talent to push my buttons more than anyone could.

“Hey Bunny,” he said, walking by as I looked over some instruments at the lower deck. I haven’t seen him in weeks, and when I did, he was always busy talking to the passengers, organizing and hosting socials for them, holding meetings with the Officers and Crew, reading reports. He seemed to be everywhere and anywhere when I’ve seen him, and always surrounded by people, especially women. Young and old. The ladies couldn’t seem to get enough of him, always asking him for help or to join them for something or another.

“Hi, Thomas,” I said, intentionally leaving off the word, “Captain” which he had once told me was unnecessary. “Fancy seeing you down here in the Engineering area. What’s up?”

He was alone for once, and it seemed so unlike him. He looked around, as if he was checking things out. “I wanted to check on the fuel,” he said.

As if he didn’t know where to look and as if he didn’t get the daily reports on the level of fuel we had, I pointed to the screen on the side wall, which gave a reading on barometric pressure, fuel, and whatever we needed to monitor for Red Genesis to run smoothly. “Is there something you needed to know?” I asked.

Thomas frowned for a second and said, “I wonder if we sped up the ship a bit more so we can arrive at New Earth half a year earlier than what we had planned, how that would affect the ship.”

I did the calculations and said, “It can be done, but it would increase the usage of everything, causing us to deplete whatever we have stored completely. In other words,” I said. “We have better land on New Earth right on time or we may run out of fuel completely in space.”

“I see,” Thomas said. He frowned again, shaking his head.
