October 16th, 2552 – The leading edge Pilot/Explorer/Interpreter Kat “S-Kat” James Reporting Another sign that time moves differently here, we saw warning signs of the Lasatiea coming closer.

August 19th, 2552 – Live Fire Drills Pilot/Mechanic/Jump-Gate Navigator/Grunt Kat “S-Kat” James Reporting I don’t know who’s brilliant idea it was to have live-fire drills, but if I find them… I’m going to stick them in a ‘scenario’ involving bullets, lasers, and no weapons and see how well they do. Duct tape may be involved. […]

April 6th, 2552 Inconclusive conclusions Tow Truck Driver/Schroedinger’s Kat/ – Katherine ‘ConV’ James Reporting There are things that don’t add up.

March 11th, 2552 Some Assembly Required Tow Truck Driver/Lab Rat/mechanic’s apprentice/ – Katherine ‘ConV’ James Reporting Fipps set the telescope up, but all we saw was yesterday’s news.
