  Day 97 - Third Rotation

  Project hit a wall. Diamond mineral fragment supply is depleted. Storage unit fabrication is stalled at 73% completion.

  Dr. Chen has been on my ass all morning about expediting emergency shipment from Earth. "Contact Jakarta. Contact supply chain. Get me a timeline." As if I can personally control orbital logistics and weather patterns.

  Commed with U.C.R. Earth representative 0900 hours. Vault storage facility is Marianas Trench Station - 11,000 meters down. They're currently experiencing severe oceanic storm conditions topside. Surface vessels can't deploy for extraction and transfer. Weather models predict storm system will move through in 4-5 days.

  Stolen from its original source, this story is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.

  Earliest possible shipment: March 15th at best.

  Relayed this to Dr. Chen. He was not pleased. Stood entirely too close while expressing his displeasure. Again.

  Personal note: Dr. Chen needs to back the fuck up. Literally. The man is old enough to be my father and I've caught him staring at my ass three times this week. Once during a briefing. Once in the equipment bay. Once today while I was explaining why we can't magically teleport diamonds from the bottom of the ocean.

  Disgusting. If he weren't the lead engineer I'd file a formal complaint, but we both know how that goes on a station with 232 people and no HR department worth a damn.

  18 months left on this rotation. 18 months of this shit.

  April deadline is going to be tight.
