This is Ricardo and these sounds another generation ship this time it's an Atlas
generation ship and it can be found in the cherrick drift system to shore to
the core it has been a disaster aboard the ship and the logs are included on
this video so if you don't want to know about the logs please turn away now I'll
be quiet let the story unfold
the captain told the crew the bad news they've known for months now but until
today it's been uh none need-to-know basis now it's out there we can't stop
the ship I remember telling the captain about the fault manufacturing issue that
no one else had detected I felt responsible after all I'm the ship's
engineer like my father and his father before him all he said was we'll fix it
now Mars on we're nearing our destination and no closer to finding a
solution but in Louisville six I believe I have an alternative
after all the debates all the meetings in the arguing shifts council is finally
approved to plan so we're all systems go rigging the emergency pods and the live
shifts to carry as much useful equipment as possible command crew have made all
the course adjustments they can to get the ship close to the target
after that launch all the pods of ship that's it bye as any luck they will all
land safely and we can finally call this mission a success there's just one catch
someone asked to stay behind to launch the pods that person will be stuck on
board one life for many seems like a good deal Jeanne will think I'm crazy
but I volunteer to be that person funny genes always telling me I need to
step up to the challenge more to prove I have what it takes I'm not sure this is
what she had in mind
you
after weeks of preparation and drills were finally getting close only a few
more days to launch all adjustments have been made and our projector is looking
good I've been getting the engineers to double and triple-checked everything
I want is to go as smoothly as possible we've had our queueing problems which I
guess were to be expected after all this ship wasn't meant to do this without
stopping okay I'm nervous this fails
there is another thing genes pregnant she doesn't know that I know I found the
test in the bathroom although it's happening I guess she doesn't know how
to tell me maybe she's afraid that it'll affect my judgment she might have been
right about that I'm just going to tell her tonight that I'm the one I'm not
sure I can anymore she'll want to stop you in your or she'll want to stay
behind as well
12 launch launch launch 13 forget logic procedures by 14 what are you doing by
14 losing knowledge come in you read me abort I repeat abort we're not clear to
say 14 emergency I repeat this is an emergency
although many parts generalize what happening we've got to go now chief
engineer tall medalist in the pilot of life Judy rose to a three there run
toward are secure all passengers boys now I'm sorry it's the only way I
couldn't tell you before don't they are forced make sure everyone gets out of
here
what you it's my responsibility listen to me you're gonna be okay both
of you it's not important just know everything is going to be okay I love
we're out of communication range now I've been sitting here for hours
listening to the crackle of the dead signal
thought I was ready for this thought it made peace with it knowing that that was
the last time I was going to hear her voice makes it so much worse the captain
said they're gonna name the first settlement after me nice gesture I guess
that I really didn't do it for that I did it for her and the wife she's
carrying this is the right thing to do there's no telling when or the ship will
ever stop we had our shot and we took it I'd gladly do it again my kids not going
to grow up in some tin cans floating aimlessly in space they're gonna grow up
the dirt between their toes the sky above their head
