This is Mystique again.

I'm reporting on the results of the Jump clock project. I won't recap the details there.

EXTERNAL MEASURE (passenger-fabricated) Jump 37: 1,829 hours Jump 38: 391 hours Jump 39: 6,578 hours

INTERNAL MEASURES (shipboard systems) Jump 37: 0 hours Jump 38: 0 hours Jump 39: 0 hours

These reports will be ongoing. I strongly advise that the next time anyone debarks, make an effort to estimate the time that's transpired since our stop on Arima.

Analyses and interpretations are welcome. Please be aware that our efforts at external videography failed. Basically, the Jump movement destroyed the equipment. I'll update about the trans-hull cartography project when there's something to update about. A bunch of weird and context-free numbers counts as 'something.'

I would like to commission timekeeping devices not linked to the native system as well, in the time between now and Van Rijn destroying us. Anyone up for it?

So, those things do work? That's good to know.

Also, I can maybe use imagery from my helmet as means to aid the cartography? It won't happen during the jumps, but superimposing stuff from between the jumps might help a bit.

They do work. Almost a surprise.

Im pretty sure that more data can only help. Let me patch Lydia in to you.

Also, it looks like we jumped pretty far after the mess that the last place seems to have been, so that's also good, right?

And thanks, I'll help in as many ways as I can!

I think you're probably right. The further we go doesn't seem to map onto relative distance from our homes, but it does seem to get in the way of Van Rijn's people.

Can you expound on how your helmet's imaging works more? I'm very interested.

It might be easier to show than to explain? But basically it's meant to be used in space, and one of the things it can do is record - it actually does that automatically all the time. So I can go out, and fly around the ship, and we can get an actual holo/holo-video of what's around us at that time.

That should help with any cartography efforts right there, right?

[ Which jumps he has actually been outside ... is more complicated though probably all of them when he's been awake. ]

It should halve the effort involved, so yes. Help would be understating it. It sounds like you should talk with CFO Wash about flying out there. Then we can pull the data from your helmet and project it into a mapping utility. Fitz and I should have something usable worked up in a jump or two.
