The Logs

The bridge logs begin on Day 9,516 - two days after the vote. Eleven crew remained to confirm surface clearance. Radiation levels. Population estimates revised downward, then revised again. Day 9,519: bombardment authorized. Day 9,521: sector clearance confirmed, 40%. Day 9,558: surface sterile. No life signatures detected. Assessment: unanimous. The crew spent four more years on astrophysics surveys. Scientists filling the time. The final log is dated Day 11,204. The officer on watch describes a clear day. She notes that Deneb looks different from this close than it did on approach. The entry ends there. The final entry is a timestamp, no apology or reflection. Just an observation about starlight.
