DOCKING MISHAP LEADS TO CONFUSION.
A supply pod from the Orbital Freight Guild docked upside down yesterday morning. The pod’s automated system maintains that the station itself has become inverted. Gravity arguments continue. The supply pod delivered one ‘X-treme Comfort Sleep Chamber’ which is currently trapped on the ceiling due to the gravitational mix-up. Ironically, the deluxe sleeping chamber is emitting a very loud hum preventing all crew members in the vicinity from getting any sleep. More on this story as it develops.

WARNING: DECK 12 CEASES TO EXIST.
Following an experimental fold drive calibration, Deck 12 is no longer accessible via standard routes. Engineering is monitoring the situation and expects to discover its whereabouts soon. Do not attempt to reach it via improvised tunneling. Smitts from Maintenance tried—we should have an update on him shortly.

ATMOSPHERIC REGULATOR THINKS IT’S AUTUMN.
Due to a seasonal subroutine override, the air filtration system has shifted into “crisp fall breeze” mode. Temperatures have dropped and the station now smells faintly of cinnamon and melancholy. Sweater distribution ongoing.
